The Jack Viney Made Me Cry Thread

Special mention to Jack Viney in the GF.  Big 2nd half. He was huge in the centre square and started most of those clearances that led to the quick goals at the end of the 3rd with either first touches or just bulldozing to make space. Key part of the turnaround.

    12 clearances. 

    I don’t want to pick on certain people that doubted this bloke but you don’t know footy.

    If you doubt this bloke - you don’t know footy.

    He is one of immense character and fight.

    Jack Viney makes me cry…

    Viney will improve as well. Now the pressure is off he is one we have that could be more settled now. Did a lot of 1% plays tonight. Be hard to find more sacrificial players than Viney and Brayshaw.

    Look at the Brisbane player in the background - pleading with the umpire to show some mercy and stop the game before someone dies.

    That play though.

    Viney’s bulldozer tackle, where he stays upright and impacts the immediate next contest. The small forwards all looking for each other in traffic, the vision and skill of Bedford to get it to the only person inside 50 in some space in Spargo, who has time, and nails it. Pure.

    That was surreal. 

    Viney flattened him, didn't break stride; just kept running.  Literally ran through him as if he wasn't there.

    That was one of the really great performances by an individual last night.  Right up there with Gawn's game against the Swans, some of Oliver's and Petracca's dominant performances.  It was everything that you'd expect from a club leader and more, and a reminder, if we needed it, as to why this guy is so important if we are to go back to back.

    Totally agree with this - set the standard for others to follow and didn’t let up for one moment - incredible and inspiring

    Not gonna say this was the best game I've seen Viney play. That's dumb. However it was probably the best 'in and under' game I've seen him play. He bounced around like a pinball and he would dive for the ball in a contest he'd be back up with it in no time. Tackled hard and got stuck in immediately when Bedford got taken out. A true skipper's game, looking forward to him leading team out over the next month.

    What really impressed about Viney's game was not only were his tackles brutal, he kept his feet and found space after a contested possession enabling him to compose and find a target.  His disposal was excellent.

    That's it Luci, I can't quite describe it but it felt like he was playing in a jumping castle and was able to bounce back up to his feet no matter how hard he fought for the ball. He would get that yard of space and deliver, he could literally do no wrong in that area!

    Remember when people always said Viney was like a Rugby player who always tried to drive through tackles with the footy? Tell you what they had a tough time even laying a glove on him last night!

    Career best form since the Eagles game. By the numbers he has been a top 5 midfielder since then, but there has also been a quality to those numbers. Getting a few quick evasive steps in, keeping his feet in tackles that take the opponent off their feet, and a mental state of continuous hunting. 

    Looks like poor Clayton has yet another team mate who will be 'stealing' Brownlow votes off him.

    I got quite worried when he grabbed the top of his hamstring.  Very relieved it was a corky.

    He was superb though for all the reasons mentioned above.  I loved his couple of fend offs also 💪 🤛.

    He said in an interview recently , that we haven’t seen the best of him yet.

    Looks like it has arrived.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
