He may not sneak an AA, but is well on his way to his second Bluey

I'd say Trac has Bluey in his sights, but I'd say just about every other MFC award linked to tenacity, the coaches and leadership award Jack has sealed up.

Agree that he's been huge when we most need him this year.  Absolutely love the bloke and I also think his leadership has gone to the next level.  He seems a little less overtly critical of others in his approach than perhaps he may have been in the past and more of just "get behind me boys, because we're going to fight this one to the death!"

The footy/war analogy has always been a bit tenuous, but I know if I ever did need to fight in the trenches in one, blokes like Jack are absolutely the kind you'd want to be in it with.

Plenty on here wanted to trade him a couple of years ago.

Career best season.

 

Been my favourite player for years

an amazing leader on and off field. 

his desire and will to win are critical

come finals he is our most important player

Playing like a captain whilst Max picks and chooses, should probably make it official 

Agree with all of the above, absolutely love Vines, however, he did go at 48% disposal efficiency today. His disposal at times is the only thing holding him back from becoming an A grader. But his will to win is unmatched.

Jack Viney needs to be in the conversation as the toughest and most courageous player in the AFL.

He is as tough as nails and probably eats broken glass for breakfast.

Loved the commentary on Ch7, he is a wildebeest! 😄

Has had a career best year, especially given Clarry's absence 

Watched vs Brisbane final 7+ minutes a few times, the goal he kicked was unbelievable. In that kind of situation, probably only he or Kozzie could be able to do it by their own. He wasn't waiting for an opportunity, he was searching for and even creating an opportunity for himself. What a man he is! 

He is cooked now. Been insanely good all year. I hope he has a rest when Clarry is back. 

He was phenomenal today, he is brutal! 

Inspiring game - enormous

Having a great year, I won’t be surprised if he wins the B&F.

You are A LOT DC!! You like to to ANTAGONISE!! Even you should have a line in the sand DS

Apologies to the board for giving DS my air time. The best way to deal with this man is to ‘Ghost him’ and I took his bait.

Agree, would surely be leading the Bluey right now.

You can really see how the BJJ training he does with his brother pays off 

He is playing Clarrys role. He is one that has sacrificed his individual game for the team. Hopefully when clarry gets a hard tag in future we can come back to this. 

The guy could not be more stellar, think his tenacity won it for us.

JV is all that is good with MFC.

I wonder where he will sit in the coaches votes leader board tomorrow night, as he’ll be receiving high end votes in this game.

Did you see the big grin on Goody's face in the presser when somone asked him about Jack Viney? Says it all for me ...

Yep, I was one of them. Bad call. He's been great the last 3 years.

Jeepers, you're a bizarre poster mate.

You have have some hits, but a lot of misses. If you were a footballer, I'd say you wouldn't make it.

Maybe my language was harsh but if you watched Gawn live today you’d see a guy who managed his way around the ground, often content to man O’Brien away from the play rather than sprinting back to plug the backline or making sure he’s the long down the line target.

Can argue it’s smart as a veteran ruck doing it alone but do you want a captain having to manage his work load? Even playing with Grundy has been about managing him through the season. 

Viney is busting it for every minute he’s out there
