DubDee 26,679 Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 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.
Adam The God 30,743 Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 Love him. Just needs to keep improving his disposal and start hitting the scoreboard more. If he does this, he'll be A grade.
Gorgoroth 13,220 Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 Yeah love his attack and effort, I think his skills are pretty good and will get better over the next couple of seasons.
DemonWheels 1,118 Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 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.
Uncle Fester 2,848 Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 Somebody please post the gif of his tackle on the StKilda player because that sums up Jack completely

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.
Grapeviney 9,929 Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 To anyone thinking about dredging up comments from the pre-season where posters predicted Jack would struggle to be best 22.... ... this is the place to do it
DeeSpencer 26,682 Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 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.

He might read here and come looking for me
The Song Formerly Known As 6,479 Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 will be the next MFC captain.

thevil1 421 Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 i remembered when that happened, ludicrous. Yep, madness. Never in doubt, this kid will be a genuine star through sheer will!!

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

RalphiusMaximus 6,112 Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 To anyone thinking about dredging up comments from the pre-season where posters predicted Jack would struggle to be best 22.... 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.
KingDingAling 3,758 Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 To anyone thinking about dredging up comments from the pre-season where posters predicted Jack would struggle to be best 22.... ... this is the place to do it 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.
Adzman 2,154 Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 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.
The Song Formerly Known As 6,479 Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 like a lion hunting an antelope.
jumbo returns 6,745 Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 Notice my boy JW, ready to swoop on the loose ball and hit The Hulk flush on the chest with a bullet like 50m pass? Sorry, couldn't help myself
Webber 10,650 Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 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!
Demonised 1,378 Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 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.
At Least I Saw a Flag 5,353 Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 Just needs to improve disposal to become an A grader. He cant kick very far, but neither can Sam Mitchell. He's a ripper.
