Fair point considering Lever, Baker and Maynard were there.

He’s non weight bearing for another 8 weeks or so according to the club. Hard to train when you can’t walk.

The mornings session was sharp and sweet. Blink and you would miss it. Plenty of media there. They seemed to be in a joyous mood. There was lots of talk and regularly they gathered in small group

Heard from a reliable source: Viney and Hannan in for Kent and JKH.  JKH stays if Tyson doesn’t get up.

If Fritsch stays back I expect Hannan to play. I watched him closely at the Eagles win and he is a very difficult match-up when he has the space to create multiple options in due to his speed and spri

Jack Viney leads the league in centre clearance average (yes he’s missed most the season and I’m cherry picking). You don’t leave number 2 (dusty) 3 (Cripps) 4 (Mitchell) or 5 (Fyfe) out of the centre square - Viney won’t be left out either. 

You make a good point. That said i'd prefer he play the defensive winger role than Tyson. Maybe brayshaw could play that role and Viney in the guts  - or the two alternate.

But as noted Gawny, Brayshaw, Oliver and Tyson have developed strong connection and i worry Viney may not immediately pick up where he left of in terms of connection and synergy with Max and the other mids.

All that said not a bad problem to have.

Yikes! Thought he might have been at walking level by now.

Let me put it this way Viney like Jones is a one trick pony yes he hard at it but lacks football awareness no opposite side of the body yes I am not a fan and I hope he plays well but being out of the game for two months is different to training has been proven in the past.

As I said If he plays well I will be the first to say so but I would have taken Wines before him.

The post you quoted is the first one I’ve ever seen that confuses Jack Viney with Jimmy Toumpas.

It is a very confused post. Memory has a way of changing over time and morph into the story we want to tell ourselves...

Much as I love Viney who's a contested brute am I the only one worried that he could upset the balance of our midfield which has looked absolutely spectacular the last 2 weeks? 

Don’t worry anymore.

Not to labour the point here but, honestly, how about now?

He has been our best midfielder, arguably our best player, in the finals. This is the real Jack Viney.

He wins you finals. He wins the ball. 

If win a granny in the next few years, who do you think will win the Norm Smith?

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

    Some veteran Demonland Trackwatchers ventured down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you the following observations from another Preseason Training Session. WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
