Man of steel.  As Adzman said above, pound for pound he'd have to be up there with the toughest in the league over many seasons now.

When you get up close he's not a big fella by any means but the bod is all muscle and ripped.  The amount of work required to upkeep that... wow!

I'm sure he was duly lead by the Jones boy (among others) who laid down the foundations of what's required to play at the highest level... and consistently at that.

He constantly lets his footy do the talking.  A great leader by example.

I see traits of Viney coming through in the likes of Sparrow at times (when playing through the middle).

Hats off to you Vins.  I salute you...one of the all time greats of the mighty Demons 👏🏼💪🏼🍻

Congratulations to Jack Viney on 200 games bleeding Red & Blue for the Demons. From arriving at a club in crisis to raging like a bull to help lead us to a flag.   A true club champion &

Congratulations Jack. Had the great pleasure of attending games at the ‘G and seeing your Dad play and later captain the side. Not so much of your good self. Living in the periphery at Darwin. But l d

The true mark of Jack is how he took his captaincy demotion. Happy to lead the same way, continued as vice, never sooked and re-signed a year or so later long term. That is leadership.

Does anyone know what level Jack is at. I know he doesn't say anything about it. But i would expect he would be close to a Black Belt, but it could be more including being more than a Dan.

Can someone more tech savvy than me please post the awesome Jack moment from round 18 last year (that insane match vs the Lions at the ‘G) where Jack wrenches the ball from McInerney’s hands and goals narrowing the margin to five points. The match that many Dees fans left before it ended coz… who’da thunk???!!!😅

Please and thanks!

Even my phone gets excited remembering this moment, it starts to yell halfway through the post 😂

Viney is a genuine tough footballer. 

He is no sniper, nor is he a choose your moment hard man. He plays the same way all game, every game - see ball , get ball regardless of who is in the way.

He provides team lifting , match winning moments by example.

Every team needs a Jack Viney. Thankfully he is a red and blue blood.

Up there with the toughest Demons I have seen in 50 years. In fact I can't think of one tougher.

 

Thanks for your efforts Jack. You have almost single handedly dragged this club back from its darkest days to the powerhouse it is today.

My two favourite Viney moments - one is that tremendous goal after wrenching the ball off McInerny. But the other, which I only heard about, was from before he played AFL. He was playing under age in the VFL and, as we know, there are often some pretty seasoned older players in that comp. One of them - I think from Geelong- hit Jack, then aged 16 or 17, and broke his jaw. Was Jack intimidated? - no, he wanted to go on with it!!

His father was a great player. Jack is better.

I hope he has lots of kids!!

Todd was awesome. A Silver to Gold Version of Tom Sparrow. Kicking was always a worry.Jay was tougher than tough, Not sure why he left? Maybe too slow.

Robbie Flower met Todd at the Airport in 1986 wearing a full Safari Suit, as an ice breaker , and took him to Robbies joint for the day and night. Todd was A demon from then on and helped Robbie play in his first finals and the clubs first in 23 years.

Todd rebuilt us culturally before 21. Tod hated Neeld.

Premium Family royalty for the Dees. BArassi, Cordner and Vineys. Hard to split.

Some photos just sum things up so well.

This is Jack Viney. Wouldn't have been a sniper hit, just HARD.

One man has made a career of being a tough as nails competitor, the other has made a career of ducking his head. Just ask him.

Love that Jack has always been such a a clean skin. Never had any off field controversies, never needed some idiotic bogan haircut or a swathe of tough stickers either.

The point of this vid from Saturday is how Maysie got tangled up in banner tape. 😅But, just as Jack was about to run through the banner I yelled out, “Go Jack!” and he waved to me. A small thing, yes. But a big thing considering we all yell out to them and because they’re all pumped and focussed and raring to go they rarely acknowledge it. Jack is one of those players who never stops appreciating us, even in his 199th game. ❤️💙

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
