"Effectively missed a third of the season, given he was injured from rounds three to eight and was substitute upon return against Port Adelaide in round nine. The fact that he played 16 of 22 matches and still managed to finish runner-up and fall short of equaling Vince by the narrowest of margin was testament to his exceptional form in the games he played."

I don't know how to link the photo, but that shot of him strutting away from Selwood down on his knees just sums up the guy. Strong, arrogant, fierce competitor.

crazy to think he's yet to hit the 50 game mark.

for mine, he is the equivalent of our joel selwood - he's fierce at the contest, determined, brave, and has the neversaydie attitude that you just pray for in your prime-mover midfielders.

he belies his height too by competing in the air against bigger blokes and we all know how strong he is at ground level.

he's a gem.

Preaching to the converted here but will be one of the pillars of a new DEMON dynasty. Takes no prisoners, accepts no mediocrity. Will drag some kicking and screaming to a new level. Epitomises the heart and soul player with class that every team needs.

His quote when interviewed after the Geelong game about the flak he was copping from Selwood sums it up for me.

" It didn't worry me - I love that sort of sh*t".

Whats even funnier is that some said after the Nab cup essendon game that Viney was not in our best 22!

Would love to name some but il save them the embarrassment.

I remember when some were happy to let him pass in the draft because of his height.

With his attitude, nothing was going to be holding him back. Can't love the way he goes about it enough.

If we had 22 players running out each week with the competitive spirit of Jack Viney, we would be a very hard side to beat. If he can add a bit more polish to his kicking over games 50 - 100, we will have a super player on our hands.

I agree re his kicking.

Surely, over the holiday period he should run quietly around an oval for a short time each day, simply kicking the ball with the right foot. He should not be content to be one-sided. Look how effective Vince is on the left when necessary, and for the Hawks, Mitchell is just a standout with did

Gun. Hoges said in interview that Viney is always the first one to start speaking up at meetings and almost tries to take too much on. Future captain. Tackle of the year in the saints game, 'you argue at your own peril with Jack Viney'.

Not named in the All Australian 22 for under 22's. Yet someone like Tom Langdon does.

Please explain?

Unfortunately Jack is competing with a much deeper pool of talent than what Langdon is for a position in the under 22 AA squad.

The fact that Luke Parker is under 22 is mind boggling.

I'm sure Jack will crack the squad if he keeps this incline in form going and progresses like Jones.

Love him.

That was me.

Yes, I wrote him off because I thought his kicking was atrocious last year and in the NAB Challenge

I've already eaten my pie - humble flavour

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
