Jack Viney, beast/future captain.

[The Song Formerly Known As 6,479]

Jack Viney is proving a dominant figure in the heart of the Melbourne midfield

[P-man 13,366]

We all know and love his competitiveness. The stigma with JV is his poor kicking. It's unfair in that he's not the terrible kick he's often made out to be, but it does need to improve for him to take that next step.

Thats what I'll be hoping to see this season is him finding a bit more polish and maybe even adding to the goal tally a little more frequently.

I particularly remember Jack's debut game against Brisbane in Round 1 2013. On a day when everyone's hopes and dreams lay shattered by quarter time, Jack was the only one who looked like he could help pick up the pieces and glue us back together again. It's a big burden to bear, but he's tough enough.

He is the bloke on my membership card for good reason.

And by god I mean Todd

It's a good read, no matter how many times you've heard it all about him before. 

Almost the forgotten man with all the hype around the other young guns.

I think he's a few years away from captain,  & others can rise in that time to take it.

Too soon to start doin what we did to Trenners & Grimesy.

Ugh! I still shudder thinking about that game. Felt sick to the stomach watching Port kick goal after goal, with no resistance, except for JV.

Short priced favorite to be our next captain i would have thought, huge chance at the Bluey this year as well, ready to explode as a player.

Nice. I guess I don't remember who we were playing as well as I thought I did. That's not relevant right....?

In my defence, we played Brisbane in round 1 of 2012, not 2013.

[McQueen 17,867]

Racked up 28 touches up til 3/4 time.

Just a machine that wins so much contested ball for the team and generally uses it well.

I'd go as far to say that Jack will be the most pivotal player in our flag tilt.
