Jack Viney signs huge new 4 year deal.

Featured Replies

 

He is a guy that the players will follow into battle and know that he will leave nothing on the park. And Rance knows that if you cheap shot a Melbourne player you'll have Jack Viney to deal with. 

Great stuff Jack!

With Jack signing it makes me reflect on recent non signings frawley and Howe and wonder how hard we really tried to sign them

We would have wanted to keep frawley. Howe we clearly gave up on as his expectations exceeded reality and at the moment he would not be in our starting 22.

Viney has set the tone, you are on the bandwagon or he will throw you off.

Guns aren't big enough :P


Looking forward to years and years of additions to the Jack Viney made me cry thread.

Love watching him play. They showed his stats during the GC game and several of them were in the elite category, but it's his heart and effort I love the most.

What a role model for Oliver, Brayshaw and Petracca. He's shown that if you live by the rule that you go harder than everyone around you, you can reach the heights of being an all-australian type performer in just your fourth year of footy. Let's hope the way he goes about things truly does rub off on his younger teammates (you'd think the effect of this will be stronger when he is named captain). Petracca in particular is scary concept - because if he plays with the intent and hardness that Viney does, he has the added  advantage of a very solid body that could make him very damaging indeed. Then think of the four of them in the middle all playing with Viney-like rage and toughness, who is going to stop them?

An opposition mid might get killed!

 

Excellent news but not surprising given the family history with the Demons.

Well done Jack.

Let's hope this influences some more early contract signings.

More fool them for getting in his way.

Exactly my thinking.


So much for that rubbish about him going to Port Adelaide. lol

Hard to fathom the number of Port supporters who thought they were a genuine chance of picking him up.

Beating Port this season has bumped up the list of things I'd like to see ticked off. Viney BOG would be the cherry on top.


I find it interesting footy show announced Viney was on the show last week, then conveniently few days later he signs for 4 years and is on the show tonight.

 

Kinda tells me they knew about this before the public did...

I would like to know to as I need to turn the channel on the missus watching master chef. Need to be certain as the repucussions will be nasty.


On the panel, and they just showed a highlight reel straight out of the Jack Viney Made Me Cry Thread - all the best hits. 

Edit: and now Jack has just delivered the line of the night, during a discussion about rules that couples have around sex. Viney: "No rules, just an understanding that post-game I'm not the one doing most of the work."

:roos:

I was expecting him to be kinda nervous, but he was actually very relaxed and funny.

Must be in a good place.

Didn't see the show, but he's a very confident kid. Love him.

In this article Roos says how much Jones has deveoped as a captain.  For mine i loved the way he came out on Monday and settled everyone down after the "big' win to just focus on the next WB game.   

Roos also makes the point that JV and other young players now have great role models to learn from in Jones and Vince. 

So long since our players have had that...great role models to have!  

On the subject of Bernie hope he has a great 50th game for the Dees.  A real asset to our club.

Wouldn't expect any less from a Viney.

hopefully he has a son so the legacy keeps going for MFC.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
