He may not sneak an AA, but is well on his way to his second Bluey

I'd say Trac has Bluey in his sights, but I'd say just about every other MFC award linked to tenacity, the coaches and leadership award Jack has sealed up.

Agree that he's been huge when we most need him this year.  Absolutely love the bloke and I also think his leadership has gone to the next level.  He seems a little less overtly critical of others in his approach than perhaps he may have been in the past and more of just "get behind me boys, because we're going to fight this one to the death!"

The footy/war analogy has always been a bit tenuous, but I know if I ever did need to fight in the trenches in one, blokes like Jack are absolutely the kind you'd want to be in it with.

    Playing like a captain whilst Max picks and chooses, should probably make it official

    Agree with all of the above, absolutely love Vines, however, he did go at 48% disposal efficiency today. His disposal at times is the only thing holding him back from becoming an A grader. But his will to win is unmatched.

    Jack Viney needs to be in the conversation as the toughest and most courageous player in the AFL.

    He is as tough as nails and probably eats broken glass for breakfast.

    Loved the commentary on Ch7, he is a wildebeest! 😄

    Watched vs Brisbane final 7+ minutes a few times, the goal he kicked was unbelievable. In that kind of situation, probably only he or Kozzie could be able to do it by their own. He wasn't waiting for an opportunity, he was searching for and even creating an opportunity for himself. What a man he is!

    He is cooked now. Been insanely good all year. I hope he has a rest when Clarry is back.

    You are A LOT DC!! You like to to ANTAGONISE!! Even you should have a line in the sand DS

    Apologies to the board for giving DS my air time. The best way to deal with this man is to ‘Ghost him’ and I took his bait.

    Agree, would surely be leading the Bluey right now.

    You can really see how the BJJ training he does with his brother pays off

    He is playing Clarrys role. He is one that has sacrificed his individual game for the team. Hopefully when clarry gets a hard tag in future we can come back to this.

    Plenty on here wanted to trade him a couple of years ago.

    Yep, I was one of them. Bad call. He's been great the last 3 years.

    Jeepers, you're a bizarre poster mate.

    You have have some hits, but a lot of misses. If you were a footballer, I'd say you wouldn't make it.

    Maybe my language was harsh but if you watched Gawn live today you’d see a guy who managed his way around the ground, often content to man O’Brien away from the play rather than sprinting back to plug the backline or making sure he’s the long down the line target.

    Can argue it’s smart as a veteran ruck doing it alone but do you want a captain having to manage his work load? Even playing with Grundy has been about managing him through the season. 

    Viney is busting it for every minute he’s out there

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
