Viney is a big game player. Thrives in finals and when the heat is on. It’s why he’s so valuable.

I think he's really going to thrive being skipper this time round 🙂

Superb game from Jack and imo the best game I have seen him play. One thing that stood out for me was his speed and his ability to keep his feet in tight situations. Must be in AA conversations, he has been great all season so far.

What a leader. Inspirational performance last night. Definitely his best game that I have seen. Clearly his tackles were awesome but that’s always been the case. It’s the other parts of his game that have gone to new levels that have been truely impressive. Busting out of pack, and then hitting a target, always seems to pick the right option. Getting more involved away from the stoppages too. His fends offs are getting dusty like. 
I think now that he is over his foot injury (wasn’t this his first uninterrupted preseason in year?) has enabled him to be the best physical version of him we have seen. He seems to be even stronger now while also gain a yard or two of pace. 
He also missed a game or two this season which I think helps him keep that level of intensity. 

The herald sun gave Oliver the 3 last night. I know he had more possessions, but to me Jack was BOG by a long way. He just led this team brilliantly and his kicking was really good and set up many goals.

Nuts isn't it?  Viney and Lever universally the best two on the ground from all bar the scum.  You have to wonder if they watch the same game sometimes.

Yep, BOG for me without a doubt. Oliver was in everything but it was Viney starting it at every contest, he was almost scary in the way he attacked the ball.

Went last night with two lions and a cats supporter and half way through the game the cats supporter said to me “Viney is bullying them, they can’t stop him and he is attacking them with or without the ball.”

he was right.

yeah, nah... that was the best game I have seen Viney play!

The only other that compares off the top of my head was his game vs West Coast when TMac kicked the winner in the dying seconds.

My best mate barracks for Brisbane and would normally go with me but has Covid. He reckons his house was shaking in Hawthorn  after the Viney tackle.

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

 

 

 

LOL - my very first thought after seeing the hit was that it'd be a fresh entry into the JVMMC thread!  😆

Its like being asked to choose your favourite child, it’s just awesome having both! 

That rugby player was certainly mixing codes last night.

Outrageously great performance

I was asked that question once.  You're meant to nominate one of your own.  I know that now.

Great game, great leadership and that tackle I thought might have snapped the recipient in two but well down Coleman the way he got right back up. That's how footy should be played - hard and fair

That tackle is up in the Neitz on mcabe tier, right next to the one when he pinned that st Kilda bloke at Docklands

That was in fact, post 1 of this thread! Just watched it again, that one is definitely a 10/10 in hurt factor. Just about makes me cry watching it.

That has to be Jack’s best game after the GF. When he was demoted from the Captaincy I wondered how Jack would react. It would have been a tough time for him. 
But i have great respect for him. 
Max is the Captain and deservedly so

Jack was a Magnificent Captain last night, when the side was under some growing pressure. 
The only way to dissipate that is to win strongly 

Jack was the man who led

Yes quite.

A better person would not tag @demon3165and remind him of his heresy and urge recantation and I am not that better person…

Bloody beaut..

Despite many attempts of excavation, I believe Mav Weller is still somewhere beneath the turf after that one.  Brutal.

Just extraordinary. He was still doing it all in the last quarter 

that’s what i would show to new recruits…

”This is what Captain’s do”

This Package deserves discussion. This is such an incredible effort by our 2IC

Jack was brutal and focused for 4 Quarters. It is relentless. AFL Players play like this for a Quarter and get praised and rightly so. 
Jack did it all night, even in the last Quarter 

This is one of the greatest efforts from 1 player in the History of the MFC

I am so proud of him

Thanks for this Edit Mighty 

Repeat efforts of that in the finals will mean we win the flag.
