Is Jack Viney an automatic inclusion?

Featured Replies

 
 

No!


Needs match fitness. If there's no VFL, then maybe. If the VFL is back after the bye, then he needs a week

 

No, the mids are working as a unit, he needs to get his touch and match fitness at Casey


Viney would have been but given Sparrow and Jordon are performing he may need a run at VFL.

Not even a question.

The only question is who makes way.

I don’t think anyone is an automatic inclusion.

 

Except when it’s Jack Viney. 

After re-watching the '87 elimination final last night I'd also bring in Todd, but as a medical sub.

I hope they can map out a program that has him ready to run through brick walls in the prelim. What that looks like with his foot I'm not sure but it looks like he might struggle to play all games so give him the Clark Keating (triple premiership player for the Lions who only played about 10 home and away games) treatment.

While Harmes is doing his job he possibly isn't needed and it's also good to get games into Sparrow, but of course Jack Viney makes us a better side.

Without a doubt he is. He’s our vice captain. 
However he will surely need some match fitness. How he gets that with no VFL I am not too sure. 

You mean is the player who has for years been in the top 20 percent of players in the comp across 80 percent of the vital statistics get a game with us? Obviously not.

Typo

Of course he is. I love what sparrow is starting to do though 


Think Harmes would be furiously sticking pins into his Viney voodoo doll. Not sure what roll James would have once Jack is back. 

No free passes.

Make em earn it

As well as Gawny, Clarry, Trac, Lingers, Maysie, Lever, TMac, 

 

If it was 2 or 3 weeks then yes an automatic selection. He has missed a few more than that so I would bring him back via Casey.

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.
