VIney  three years ago oooozed passion for the club and tried his guts out. Second efforts, tackling, etc. tonight he was deplorable. I don’t think he is respected by teammate And I am led to believe it’s because many players see him as being protected and promoted due to family connections. He needs to relinquish captaincy immediately. His heart isn’t in it. Gawn must Captain the side in 2020

If we’re hanging our club’s future on an 18 year old kid saving our midfield structure we may as well go back to the days of Dean Bailey throwing Jack Watts under an enormous bus

But we won’t as there’s another 4 that we’ve seen when firing can more than handle the load themselves. Anderson up forward can be his release. Either way I don’t see us getting him as GC are more than likely to get gifted one of the best 1-2 combo this draft

Is 'led to believe' a fancy way of saying I'm going to throw an idea out there and see if it gains traction?

Shitty spelling

The question to answer there is,

Is it true he was promoted due to family name and backing? And that is a yes for me.

Big difference between the opinions of unknowing supporters believing an 18 year old can suddenly transform the midfield than experienced football personal who I have no doubt would already have  worked out the solution for the future

If your not prepared to name your so called sources yes it is just garbage.

Maybe some players think it but I doubt it is the reality.

I just think handing him the captaincy was very poor judgement on Goodwin's behalf.

My opinion here from observation & 2nd hand information is that he is extremely focussed & a lot of players don't relate to that. He may not have the emotional IQ that good leaders need.

Well, he calls his wife the missus on radio so I doubt he speaks with human emotion to all the players.

Regardless of what you think about them they still no more about the game than the supporters do.

Extremely hard to see that given some of the team selections in recent weeks, and thats fact.

Have heard similar things tbh.

Might seem like a silly example, but if you want some kind of external 'proof' of this then look at the player interviews from the last few years where they ask "Who is the coaches pet?" The answer every time has been Viney. Now obviously that's meant as lighthearted entertainment, but without installing nanny cams in the locker rooms it's as close as you're going to get to an actual insight.

If you or any other supporter thinks they know more than the football dept. you are delusional and that is a fact

YOu are on the money. He doesn’t relate to many of his teammates. That was the word I was given. Jones did, but is also a different age bracket to a lot of the younger guys and is becoming less focussed on football. We need a change. It’s simple

I think we will see a change 'Leoncelli'...I just hope they don't take the easy way and make it a Gawn/Viney co captain situation.

It's Max time...sole captain. Make the hard call club...

The stats don't support that view.  If you take Pressure Acts, Contested Possessions and Tackles as the measure then it's easy to see which Captain has dropped their bundle this year in terms of work rate:

   Avgs:                   Pressure Acts,                      Contested Possessions                 Tackles

Career                   Viney 20.4, Jones 11.1       Viney 10.9, Jones 8.5                       Viney 5.8, Jones 3.7

2019                       Viney 21.5, Jones 11.0       Viney 9.3, Jones 6.8                       Viney 5.3, Jones 2.2

2018                       Viney 21.0, Jones 15.4       Viney 13.5, Jones 9.0                     Viney 5.9, Jones 3.7

2017                       Viney 21.5, Jones 16.3       Viney 11.8, Jones 9.4                     Viney 7.0, Jones 5.4

2016                       Viney 21.0, Jones 17.1       Viney 12.8, Jones 10.5                   Viney 7.0, Jones 5.4

2015                       Viney 18.4, Jones 14.9      Viney 12.1, Jones 9.9                      Viney 6.6, Jones 4.3

2014                       Viney 19.6, Jones 16.4      Viney 8.7, Jones 11.6                      Viney 4.4, Jones 5.2

2013                       Viney 18.8, Jones 13.4      Viney 9.2, Jones 10.9                      Viney 4.2, Jones 3.5

Viney is rated elite for Pressure Acts and tackles and above average in contested Possessions.  Jones is rated as below average for Pressure acts and average for Contested Possessions and tackles (below average for all three this year).

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
