People laugh when I say all I want for Xmas is "No Injuries".

With Jack and Tom back and May and Lever firing, and some Pickett/Bennell smooth moves, what more could you ask?

“Look at the ‘runners’ I have to train in!”

Oh no!!! wearing runnners in the warm up exercises

He changes into boots for any match sim

Good management I"d call it

Round 14 2017.

The night he played a game the likes of Fyfe, Dangerfield and Martin dominate, as we had one of the all time great wins of this club.

Would be amazing if he can return to that kind of form after a (touchwood) finally strong pre season.

Whilst the rest of the team are wearing footy boots. 
 

Good observation I’d call it. Something you struggle with.

You mean when i observe him changing into boots at the many training sessions I have been to

You need to say hello when you are the next training, observing first hand what happens

I asked him about the runners and got a satisfactory answer

You’re the bloke who told everyone that this time last year the team was going just fine. 
Just because you attend training means nothing to me. 
I’m extremely grateful for the terrific insights of the other track watchers - just not yours. 
Don’t be upset by that, I’m only being pragmatic.

Geez mate. Not need to pot the bloke just because he disagreed with you. Try playing the ball and not the man next time.

I thought being priggish, but that's me being pragmatic

How hurtful, not and me valuing your insights so highly, that's if you ever post any meaningful that is

All teams look a million dollars in pre season, it doesn't necessarily translate into the season

I thought you as an astute observer of footy would know that

Any reporting in pre season means nothing except the teporting of injury and rehabbing

I watched all the rehabbers work hard to get back in main group and 2 of them finish top 5 in the B&F

There is absolutely no alarm about a picture of Viney in runners, he has completed every session and in the last couple of match sims, it was the Viney of old

It's just a shame you need to find something negative in what has been a good pre season so far

But then again they always are

What if the season turns to [censored] again, we going to say an average of 38 players each session of pre season was the reason

Didn't notice you saying that to the other chap when he started with the 'playing the man' tactic.

Whatever the differences are we have on this forum, have a wonderful Christmas celebration with your family tomorrow.

2019 was a pretty average season from Viney despite him playing the most games in a season yet. He barely had an impact in any games and had his worst statical season in 5-6 years. 

Hopefully with more time on the park over the coming years we can see a return of the 2016-2017 Viney that won more ball, laid more tackles, kicked a few more goals and made all his teammates walk taller. He was pushing towards elite across those seasons and was having a huge impact on games. The game away against West Coast in 2017 was a prime example of him bringing full intensity, notching up 39 disposals (despite missing a quarter with injury) and laying out their captain with a huge hit. Same in the Hawthorn game where he got 30+ disposals, but more importantly 15 tackles to set the tone and setup the win.

If we see more of that 2017 Viney, it'll help immensely with our poor infield leadership and to help our midfield become dominant again.

    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.

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
