Your wish is my command. Excuse the analogue quality. I'm not Fox.

Notice the backward steps and overall defensive posture. It's indicative of a dog that has been abused by its master. One must assert one's position, after all...

Footy folklore. We'll be recalling this game for the rest of his career. And his sons' careers.

That was the best individual game I've seen from a demon in a long time. Without his injury he could have had 45 touches and 30 contested possessions

Tonight, it was me, but in a proud way.

So courageous.

I know what you mean. When he went off the first time and I saw him grimace I thought, "he's been huge but if he's in pain you know it's bad". Then he came on and was big but restricted, then he went down to the rooms and with no coincidence we faded. I thought, "even with him being on he will be something of an inspiration, but realistically he won't won't be on his game" I was so wrong. 

I was a kid when Todd played and he was the first Melbourne player I remember thinking, this guy is indestructible. Jack has taken the Viney name to another level, and he was massive.

I get this feeling that there would've been a lot of people feeling proud; his dad, Goody, Roosy, and players/coaches that were with him at the beginning like David Rodan. 

Nothing was going to stop him.

Hurn got Viney. Viney got him back. Is it the first case of Viney made me cry reciprocation? 

Hurn got Viney, Viney got Hurn back harder. There's footage of Viney running back through the rooms once he'd been taped up: I bet Shannon Hurn heard those footsteps and felt like a Mafia hit, whose cards were marked!

I saw Viney grimace in pain with the shoulder while on the bench.  Could he... could he be human after all?

Nah.

What an effort that was.

For a split second the footage of him in the rooms looked like he was trying to run through a concrete column!

The AFL experts stroke themselves over Joel Selwood. No doubt Selwood is tough and a strong leader, but Viney is next level tough. I have never seen anything like his performance last night. It is the best midfield performance I have ever seen.

The grimace wasn't from pain, he just thought about something stupid he said 7 years ago.

Nash, that grimace was after the doctor told him he'd be off for a few minutes.

The Hurn hit was beautiful. Will Hurn hit him again? Will he have second thoughts.  What will other players think if confronted with an opportunity to hit Viney? I think a reputation is being built. He didn't make Hurn cry because Hurn was unconscious. The rest of the competition know, Viney is hard and has a great memory.

Even made GAJ pull a sickie rather than face JV.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
