Minor Procedure For Viney (Foot)


Demonland

Recommended Posts

if you class trac as more inside-outside, viney is a miles better footballer than any other inside mid option we have other than oliver, and his defensive tendencies are better than clarry

the amount of opprobrium for a former captain and multiple b&f top 5 placegetter on this site is baffling

we are a much better side when viney is up and going than when he's sitting on the sidelines; here's hoping for a quick and full recovery

No intention of stepping on anyone's toes but the backwash is almost palpable...

I'm not a huge Viney fan . . . so last year I thought I'd go and have a look at where he ranks in the league on all the important KPIs that the league measures for its players. Here's the news: Viney is in the top 200 players in the league on 80 percent of performance indicators. He's got his deficiencies and drives many of us mad at times, but there's not a club in the comp that wouldn't have him in their best 18. And he'd be in the best six players at at least six clubs, based on his KPIs, IMHO.

Is the 'top 200 players' a typo and you mean top 20?

Top 200 is not much to right home about...

No, it's not a typo LH. After scrutinising exactly what I wrote, and if one analyzes the data mathematically, it makes him a pretty good player. At a bear minimum, it puts him in the best 25 percent of players in the comp. And I suspect if one undertook further analysis of the raw data (e.g. the precise ranking of all his KPIs), he would probably be in the top 15-20 percent of players running around.

I try not to get MFCSS if I can help it but even if he is back running in two weeks that would likely be putting him behind anyway on conditioning and as many have alluded to with his history of foot issues and our history with foot related injuries not being great I'm not expecting him to be back super fast. Whatever the case may be let's take things slow with him.

I thought seeing Jack in one of the training clips today doing the rope exercise in the gym a couple of days after surgery was a positive in terms of a quick recovery. That’s the way I’ll look at it until otherwise.

Jack Viney is inside the top 60... ahead of Joel Selwood, Daniel Rich, Mark Blicavs, Andrew Gaff, Lachie Whitfield, Jack Gunston, Cameron Guthrie, Darcy Moore... to name but a few!

He is never in the top 50 players reviewed each year fwiw.  Not exactly comparing onballers with wingers/half back flankers.  I would think the areas he would definitely be in front are turnovers and clangers.  He has large heart but plays with very little brains imo.  I think top 200 would be accurate.  To get an accurate picture of where he lies he should be compared with on ballers only.  I doubt he would be in the top 30% of all onballers, would be surprised if he was!

Just looked up clangers count from last season.  

We have 3 players within the top 20 which is not a good stat to have.

3. Clayton Oliver    69 total clangers.

12. Christian Petracca   60 clangers.

18 Jack Viney   55 clangers.

Looking at previous years appears to be much the same in terms of clangers.  Need to find ways to be much cleaner from what is supposedly a very good midfield.

Adding turnover counts....

Equal 4th.  Christian Petracca   84 turnovers for 2020

8. Jack Viney   80 turnovers

19 Clayton Oliver    77 turnovers

Harmes/Brayshaw right up on these lists when they play onball too.  We basically have bunch of onballers that undo a lot of their good work with careless skill errors and turnovers.  Until we clean these areas up i don't think we will go far.

My analysis figures are directly from AFL rating points which are established from a formula that covers a wide range of indicators. In a counter argument to yours, these ratings include goals (which advantages forwards over most mid-fielders). Obviously, this approach enables a data based comparison across player positions.

So where does he rate amongst all onballers for last year?   I am looking currently at footywire and can't seem to make that filter/comparison.  Realistically i have him as our 3rd best onballer....doubt he would be the number one at any of the other teams.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
