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.

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!

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

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.

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

    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

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    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
