What Essendon would do to have a player like Jack Viney in their team to fly the flag, has never taken a backward step & would do anything to help his team mates

And a bloody good leader & footballer too

Knowing the Bummers trading history, they will try to sell Dylan Sheil as a like for like swap for OUR JV 🤯

 

Jack Viney 27 and 12 tackles 🍆 

 

I know it has already been mentioned but anyone reading this thread who hasn't seen his interview on the Gus & Gawny podcast needs to watch it.

He speaks about how he used to be an endurance beast but due to his injuries he has never been able to get it together for an AFL season. This season, finally fully fit and showing his full capabilities.

They'll also think getting Viney would solve all their problems. In reality, they're already well served with smaller bodied midfielders. Viney would give them much needed grunt...but they'd still have a very small midfield group.

That kick to #31 in the goal square in the final quarter was elite!


Its kind of like he had a footballing epiphany after his suspension late last season. Been a different player since.

Jack is having a great year. Plus, he’s now our games record holder for #7, having passed Brian Wilson when he played his 155th game. He’s now on 158, I think. (God Only Knows when @Demonstonewill make a Good Vibrations comment.)

 

I am amazed that Jack Viney is the games record holder of a number that low at the MFC, well done and long may it go on.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
