I wonder if Jack Watts is thinking how glad he is that Viney is on the same side

He had a 'box-seat' to that display didn't he Bitts.

Doubt it'll be taken on board though.

That is pretty much the human equivalent of a lion taking down an antelope. 

Song.....what a fantastic analogy.  Looks like a sequence from David Attenborough.

Looking at the video again (and again and again.....) I can't help thinking that the nanny state MRP may in future deem that as a sling tackle,   It would be a very sad day for the game were that to happen though.

 

^^ and Robbo - he was caught red handed, with plenty of prior opportunity, and went around before he (may have) handball it.

Congrats Jack for the 2015 AFL "tackle of the year"! (Only sorry that l don't know how to paste the link.)

On the contrary, if a player is on another team he risks meeting Viney maybe twice a year. Watts has to face the prospect of being tackled at training several times a week.

And so does Tom McDonald.

He didn't and we move on.

shoulda' grabbed him & wrestled Viney to the ground.  that woulda' got Vineys respect back.

 

IMO the pecking order is beckoning,  with rippling intencity

I loved this guy's father who would've and could've run through a brick wall. Jack will do that but he brings more than that. Opponents will be taking shorter steps they way they did when Rod Grinter was running towards them.

we need a lot more of grinter in our makeup.. the toughness of 'rodney',, not so much the 'late ' ruggedness.  & we need plenty of his skills as well.

Tim Watson did say last year that Jack had his father's DNA, so I think you could be on to something..

Yeah Tmac was probably also [censored] off that he got caught --- I always think he is a most competitive animal, and hated getting caught, let alone by Jack the Ripper ... :)

http://watchafl.afl.com.au/ Viney's tackle made the 1 of the top 10 list, sorry if already posted. I think it's a bit like Howe's MOTY, there are so many he is the default #1,

And I suspect that some pathetic big noter in the MRP were this to happen in 2016 would cite him for the new offence of "tackling too hard".  Let's hope they don't give  him a retrospective / retroactive  suspension - nothing would surprise me from that corrupt mob.

I love this thread. Would be good if all new additions were added to the OP. We could have a great library by the end of his career.

So nice to see Viney leading the Herald-Sun "Player of the Year" award (leading Patrick Dangerfield)!

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
