Jack Viney interview, Hamish McLachlan. This is great stuff.

That was great.
I didn’t appreciate how hard it would have been to come back from the drubbings in his early career. At the elite level, that would shatter your confidence so to overcome that, end up captain, b&f and premiership player is amazing.

    Great interview. His old man was one of my favourites when i was younger and Jack is one of my favourites now. He is having a stand out year.

    We watched it last night great interview by Hamish, Jack set his sights on AFL footy and always wanted to be at the elite level like his dad. Great footage of him running out with Todd as a little Demon with his blonde hair wearing the number 12. Jack has achieved the ultimate in footy and is playing career best footy May it long continue, love what Jack brings to our club.💕

    That scene with the crowd of boofheads at the race (10:30) enrages me every time. A bunch of them where smiling and enjoying themselves - genuinely just revelling in the chance to form a pack to be abusive to a stranger.

    In contrast, it is interesting and a little bit beautiful to see genuine hard-nut Viney at this level of also being a genuine clear thinker about the importance of managing your emotional balance.

    A terrific interview, Jack comes across as a thoughtful and articulate young man, who provides an intelligent insight about the struggle for success in football and life. Hard work and determination you can't beat it.

    • 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 return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      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.
