The possibilities for Viney in the grand final are a little bit scary.

After his suspension and now the two weeks of rest mixed into the finals, he will basically be as fresh as a player gets. All his injury history related to things which continually wear out and need to be rested or monitored - this could not be a better set-up for him for this one game.

His finals were probably two of his best three games for the year (Geelong round 4 the other) and add to a pretty good finals record overall.

Really possibility of doing something special. Maybe not pretty all the time, but special.

Had this conversation with my son this morning. He reminded me that, apart from being the better team, we have Jack. Can't wait to see Jack do his thing. Bulldogs will be looking over their shoulders and second guessing all afternoon. Jack aint gonna wanna lose this one. The Norm Smith will look good around his neck.

Jack sets the tone.  He is critical in the first 10 mins of the game.  

I expect he may maim one or two Bulldogs players in the first quarter.

It's time to unleash the beast😍

Garry Lyon has interviewed 8 Dees players since the prelim. He said that 7 of them were really relaxed and looking forward to the challenge, one of them, an unnamed father son selection, looked like he was ready to kill somebody.

Good to see Billy Stretch is over there.

And homicidal?

I wanna see Jack go total loop job and show me the reason we drafted him. Grand Final Day. 

Jack made me cry last time out, when he lifted Gawn off the turf. 

I've watched the Geelong prelim replay a few times just to kill time. 

Jack Viney getting absolutely stuck into Joel Selwood and Jack Henry is right up there as one of my favourite highlights of this finals series.

Had a couple of mates message me what was being said about targeting Gawn, (to which I replied they (Lloyd and co. media windsocks) have been reading posts on the forum. The bit they missed, Viney, followed very closely by Oliver, Harmes, and Tmac will fly the flag very high no 2000 repeat, and also that Viney will murder anyone that touches a Melbourne player with off the ball stuff, you hit Gawn in the kidneys, get ready to pee blood yourself.

Your son is 100% on the money. I've been waiting his whole career to see Viney in the GF, he just will not allow us to lose on Saturday. We'll either win or he'll die trying.

I still remember a story about David Schwarz years after the 2000 Grand Final. He was asked if he had any regrets about that day. Incredibly, he said he regrets not "going harder", I guess in relation to the aftermath of the dog Long and his cowardly poleaxing of Troy Simmonds.

 

I don't picture Jack as a guy who will have regrets a decade from now when he is asked about the 2021 Grand Final.

JV is made for this. Bring it !!! 

Jack Viney captured on film burning twice as brightly during the 2021 Grand Final, after colliding with a poor bulldog.

Fair to say that Schwarz was the only one who flew the flag that day. Essendon bullied us and the Ox was the only one willing to dish it back. 

Unfortunately he didn't have many teammates that day.

I don't think Libba is going to fair too well this week. When he gets carried off Bont will cop it.

Melbourne wrote the rules and in Daisy's words are pioneers.

Jack Viney could pioneer the sin bin or sent off rule this GF.

Ha. Has he ever been relaxed?! 

the though of Viney, Gawn, Trac and Clarry walking to the middle on Sat night has me so pumped up!!

Only 84 hours to go!

Don’t agree - he is a hard nut but not a thug along the lines of Hardwick and his mate v Green (2000 GF) or Matthews.   He sure will fly the flag though.

This pumps me up all the time just try and do it to him Bont!

Seeing his best mate win a Brownlow might be the extra motivation he needs to win a Normie.

One thought I had about Jack (and a few posters on this tread has mentioned something like this)

From a child, Jack has been taught not to go out and hurt people, therefore he has always had a handbrake on. I remember those stories of mums pulling kids out of the team when playing him etc. 

Even at Afl level we have seen when he goes hard he hurts people and therefore get suspended on the outcome not the action

So this might be the first game he has had in a decade or two where he can go 100% without worrying about the outcome of hurting people with his tackles. The handbrake is off. 

That is scary, he is going to be a wrecking ball on Saturday. 

Just watched the PF 

Jack could easily have been best

He got so much ball and competed for 4 quarters

Really great to see

He didn't dish it, he pushed and shoved. For a guy known as the ox, big and strong, it was weak and he knows it. I was 15 metres from the Long hit on Snake Simmonds. I thought he was dead. Unfortunately no one else did anything to retaliate. It is the only time I have been disappointed with the Ox. If not for 3 knee recos, we would be talking about him as Carey number 2.

I met Long a couple of years ago and told him he was a great player, except for that incident. He said he could have killed him and was happy he was ok.
