Matthew Lloyd recounted on 3aw, that Viney was amongst a youth touring team (I think).

Players were soft and coaches (Kirk, Lloyd, O'Loughlin) gave the group a spray and got out the bump bags.  Kirk held the bump bag and Viney apparently just hit it with all of his might.  Kirk had his head split open, but didn't cry.

    So much to like! Clarrie’s tackle, Viney the steam roller who turns like a gazelle and finds Gusy who takes a strong contested mark and best of all the genuine excitement on the bench.

    In the words of Bruce " Viney, Viney, Viney".

    Jack was nothing short of a sensational match winner last night.

    Breust’s attempt with an outstretched leg at smothering looked dangerous to me.

    Viney's acceleration and side step are truly elite.  His foot injury does not seem to have affected them like say Trengove's.  On numerous occasions his burst and his direction change were equal to the best ever.  Let's hope the prognosis for his feet stays good.

    De Viney!

    Is it just me or is Nat Fyfe enjoying ripping Viney’s shirt off him a little too much? (Not that there’s anything wrong with that)

    Lots of things Jack could have said, all of which he would be in trouble for nowdays.

    Great clip.

    Is that what started the nonsense? So Walters was trying to bump Viney, got sat on his date and his teammates didn't like it? Then he head butted Viney?

    Looks to me like they were deliberately trying to poke the bear. That's madness.

    JV was absolutely fantastic on Saturday. Shame on those that wanted him traded at end of season. He is our heart and soul.  He was back to his best and led from the front and took no prisoners.

    he was instrumental to the win. Similar form to the finals last year where he was central to the results we achieved.

    Not from me, he is the right colours. When is he a free agent please? Won't be able to play at Marvel but

     

    I don't mean to be a downer but I feel there is a concerning lack of animated gifs showing unsuspecting players entering the dark confines of Viney's pain cave

    One day, hopefully several years from now, this thread will be harvested for the Jack Viney retirement party.

    And it will be beautiful.

    Love it. The stager bumps our captain and goes down like he was hit in the head with a sledgehammer.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
