    I think most of us are aware that most of your really vicious posts are when you have had a few sherberts but seriously, your anti Jack and gobsmackingly anti Max posts have made me want to break my phone at times. Perhaps in the future you could count to ten before posting?

    Picket Fence.  You might be at odds with the views of many but we all should remember that you are a fellow Dees fanatic and just (hopefully) want the best for the Melbourne Footy Club and bring us premiership glory.  Time to wrap our arms around each other and march on  !!!

    Delete thread and rename it to ‘The never trade Jack Viney thread’

    Ditto, his name should never be spoken in vein ever again.

    Made for finals footy.

    ...that's normal, right?

    Everyone has their right to an opinion but if someone took the time to list all the players that have had a " Never wear Red and Blue again" or " We should trade now " comment about them we would not have a side for the GF.

    Ah the was waiting for you, yes he played very well give him that, but did not see a different game style from him.

    1. Instead of see ball get ball he actually spread when he did not have the ball.

    2. The first instinct of trying to break tackles he gave off handballs nearly performed Olivers role of the past and it has allowed Oliver and co to be able to be more outside runners.

    3. His depth of kicking is still a problem but can go past that if he keeps playing that way.

     

    Wow. Just show some humility and so you were wrong. For your own good and your demon soul.

    You are acting in an 'olisik' type fashion and you don't want that d3165, you don't want that.

    Jack Viney played a magnificent game. No if or buts about it

  • Quote

    I never wanted to trade or lose him, but I genuinely believed that Jordon or Sparrow would overtake him by finals time. Very glad I am wrong. He was brilliant.

    There is no way a team is going to tag all 3 of Trac, Clarry and Viney. 2 of them always emerge as match winners. With so much attention on Clarry (who still got 27 touches by the way), Viney was able to play his game the way he wanted to. His kicking has improved (Chocco?) and he has stopped trying to break every first tackle. 

    Can't wait to see him with a fire in his belly come GF.

    Jack isn't perfect but he is physically relentless.

    A crucial part of the best midfield in the game.

    Is this gonna be one of those "To all of you who wrote Jack Viney off, are you going to show some guts and apologise?" thread bumps?

    Hope so ... we can also start the Fritsch vs Watts thread again if you like

    Well you should thank me for helping him, it seems he has read what I have said about him and he has taken that in the way he played because he went from a selfish, see ball get ball, butcherd ball and turnover king to one of a team player, so I will take your thanks in good spirit and hope he plays the same in the grand final.

    The anti-Jackers tend to see what he doesn't do rather that what we does do. he is unconditional, that's a trait I would have in my team every week rather than some that pick and choose. He has his limitations and they can be frustrating but he will keep getting better. 

    Trade Brayshaw, I swear he has regressed as a footballer and is nothing but run of the mill. Can't have AVB either, he is tough but slow. 

    🙄😮

    I agree that I thought he could be bypassed by Sparrow in particular (and probably will in due course)  but as others have said he is a finals (or other big game) player, and had a ripper particularly early on when the scene was being set last night.   An integral cog ⚙️ in the midfield.

    Would walk through a brick wall for a hard ball get. That’s the player you want in a hotly contested final… or in an 83 point demolition.

    When my nerves have flared over the past few weeks I've pictured Jack Viney standing in front of the Cup. Anyone else who wants it has to get past him - he won't let it happen.

    Fun fact.

    Jack Viney plays his 150th game on grand final day.

    Is there not a better stage for him to completely rise to the occasion in your 150th game!

    It would be a great result if Jack won the Norm Smith Medal and won a Premiership this year his Father and Uncle would be over the moon.

    The players like Gawn, Petracca and Oliver would be very happy for him and the Team.

    Jack has been a great player but injury has made his journey to 150 games a very long process the last player who lost lots of games due to injury and was an exceptional player was Glen Lovett who played over 100 games in the same period as Jimmy Stynes  but never seemed to string games together.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
