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?

    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.

    Then put him on ignore and everyone will be happy.  The perfect Christmas win win.

    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 Viney looked pretty relaxed at training so far this year especially from the stills and videos i saw

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • 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.
