Jack Viney 200 Games

Featured Replies

Heart & Soul red and blue demon for life, the kind of club man that comes along rarely (and we have had two with Viney & Brayshaw). The great thing about our game is having to execute finesse-touch skills under immense physical pressure. JV7 plays the tough footy we all love to see. And his best footy has been in the last 4 years. 

Best 2 JV7 moments?

  1. When we got annihilated in his first season (can't recall the opponent), and at 18 yo gave the team a spray after the game. Speaks volumes about his natural character and leadership credentials even from a young age.
  2. In the 2021 GF, when he flew at Jack McCrae at the centre bounce and absolutely flattened him. The tone of the game weas set and he played in beast mode for the rest of the game. 

Congratulations Jack, and thankyou.

    The spiritual leader of the group and the toughest player in the entire league. What a club changer Jack has been. From his first game he set the tone for a new tougher more competitive Melbourne, and years later that's exactly what we became. Our midfield became the toughest in the league and has been for 4-5 years straight now. He's getting better with age too. Was unlucky not to be All Australian last year. 

    Best of luck in your 200th Jack. A true lifelong Demon who we all love and admire!

    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. 

    And he's a special comments clown on channel 7 now. So. Still ducking his head into a bag of footy cliches

    Legend has it, that spray was after his first game, Round 1 vs Port Adelaide.

    That debut is my go-to memory of Jack Viney.  A kid standing tall when all around him were wilting under pressure.  22 disposals and a goal whilst on the receiving end of a flogging.

    Deserved the flag as much as anyone.

    Congratulations on 200 games Jack!

    A champion of the Melbourne Football Club. Just like his Father.

    Both tough as nails!

    Let's hope Jack Viney plays another 150+ games for the Melbourne Demons and wins a few more Premierships too!

    On ya Jack! A true Demon! 😎👍🔴🔵👹

    Like many, I can't get to the 200 in Adelaide so I will have to wait for the 300.

    Considering he appears to be climbing back to career-best form and consistency, I feel confident. It is only 4 seasons. :laugh:

    Jack is the epitome of the tough, loyal and fair footballer. A perfect club man, and I don’t doubt the standard for fitness, dedication and sheer uncompromising game day approach that every player across the AFL tries to attain. He’s easy to undervalue of course because he’s just ‘there’, every game. And his footy now is the best it’s ever been. Taken with Max (and I don’t really separate them) as leaders of the team, it also makes all this questioning of culture seem frankly ridiculous. Well done JV7. You’re the total MFC package.

    The Jackster may have been on the quiet side in the first half but really brought the Easter eggs in the second. 

    And that goal, he's good for one of those a game now!

    Thought Jack played a decent game for 200, probably wasn't at his absolute best, but I'm sure he did alot of hard in and under stuff that didn't really show through on TV. 

    One of the posters mentioned how Jack keeps improving - an area of his game that I think he has really improved from early in his career is his ability to navigate or burst through traffic.  Remember he had a stage where it seemed he was often trying to do too much an got caught holding the ball a fair bit.  Over time, he's really corrected this, I think through a combination of knowing when to release the ball to a team mate, but also sharper evasive skills and getting stronger and perhaps better technique to stand up in tackles and barge his way through (wounder if the Judo helps with this).  Put on a great example of his step and composure and disposal under pressure with his very handy goal in the third quarter in last night's game.

    On another note, I've been looking at some of the post game stuff with Jack and it's mentioned how he had alot of family, uncles etc come over and watch him for the game.  One of the guys hovering around Todd in the background has a considerable likeness to Todd and I've been woundering if it is 'uncle Jay Viney' (a fairly handy player who made it into the red and blue for the MFC on a few occations.  When I talk footy with a professional connection I have over in Adelaide often tells me one of his claims to fame is that he played local or school footy with Jay and recalls him as being about the stongests, hardest guys he's every played with.

    Also, looking a the photo of Todd with Jack after the game on the MFC socials - please someone buy the guy a hair brush and an iron!  Personal grooming not befitting of the great man, warrior and servant of the MFC.

    So many threads and posts after a game like that, so sorry if this has already been observed:

    Jacks goal, being from an apparent force field at the centre of a compass of 4 Port players, was pleasantly reminiscent of Tom Sparrow's 'Bang' 😋

    (Could someone isolate and post Jack's?)

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
