Just putting out some love for jack. His breakout year has somewhat gone under the radar given hogan and other youngsters coming up but he was unbelievable this year and it's been highlighted now with almost winning the BnF off 16 games! He hasn't even played 50 games yet! We have an absolute beauty here and I believe he will lead us to success.

Some stats:

No 1 average tackles. 6.6 - next highest vince with 4.8

No 1 ave contested possessions. 12.1 - next highest vince 10.2

No 1 ave clearances 5.6. - next vince 5.2

No 1 ave centre clearances 2.4. Next jones 1.5

Another preseason and a full 22+ games next year and watch out! I'm confident he will become a genuine A grader. With confidence his disposal will continue to improve.

Love him. Just needs to keep improving his disposal and start hitting the scoreboard more. If he does this, he'll be A grade.

His attack on the footy and aggressive tackling is something to behold. His love for the jumper is so evident in the way he plays and I have no doubt he'll be leading the team in years to come.

And all of this including breaking his leg during the year.

Another positive this year was his ability to tag out some of the best midfielders in the game including Ablett, Selwood and Steven....and go on to gather lots of the footy himself.

Hopefully he gets a free run at it next year.

There's a few who might be equal with him, but there's no one harder than him in the AFL.

I reckon that's awesome.

Also Jones might lead by example, but I think Viney might be the drill sergeant. We need that type of player who demands respect.

To anyone thinking about dredging up comments from the pre-season where posters predicted Jack would struggle to be best 22....

I didn't, but I wouldn't be admitting to it in any case.

He might read here and come looking for me

What i like is that he is hard at it but not a thug, just genuine courage......old school.

Pretty sure I said something about him needing to get more of the ball to justify his place in the team. His average disposals only went up by two, but I think that's largely because he started the year slowly. Once he clicked in the second half of the season he was regularly up around the 30 mark which is where we need him to be.

He had a lot weaknesses in his game before this season. Viney only had one pace, I wouldn't knock anyone who raised doubts about JV prior to this year. In saying that, his ability to identify his weaknesses and work on them should be commended. He was rewarded by a top 2 finished in the B&F, that is a great effort.

Probably now more important to us than Jones and Vince given their age. Viney is primed to lead the next crop of players when Jones and Vince hang them up.

Another interesting insight from Jesse Hogan's dad was that next to Jack Viney's hardness and natural mongrel, Jesse thinks Christian Salem has the same set of lovably nasty attributes!

Somebody please post the gif of his tackle on the StKilda player because that sums up Jack completely

I dearly want Jack to do this to Dustin Martin in the 2016 Preliminary Final.

Salem is hard as nails. He is a great tackler, does all the 1%ers. Viney, Salem and Brayshaw in the guts is a relentless midfield.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
