What was the question mark on him that made every club pass during the draft and rookie draft? Must be something significant for 18 clubs to think he wasn’t worth a rookie spot?

Were there off fields issues?

From what I can gather it was just did he want it enough. He was late to training quite a few times and was dropped. I guess they didn't think he was going to handle being a AFL player.

Unbelievable get for us. Getting a kid this talented for free.

I loved it. Wish there was way more of that. Legitimate tactic to line someone up an make em earn it

Fair play Viney, some trolls say he isn't tough but he did everything not to show his shoulder was blown out.

If that was Danger he would have gone off on a stretcher then come back 20m later to a standing ovation from the 7 commentators.

I’m not a fan of Viney, but definitely not weak. Was right near us at the ground.. huge hit. Comparisons to Pickett with his attack at the footy are accurate. SS, luckily for Richmond, can attack the footy like a cannonball without elbowing blokes in the head and cleaning them up.

Haha, that's some consolation.

Viney took it well and any player on the ground can be put on their arse by any other player on the ground, given the right circumstances. Doesn't make them soft. No need for a potshot at one of the true superstars of the game to make you feel better about yourself.

Was a good bump but if that's the best bump you've seen in a decade, I'm guessing you don't watch much footy.
I watch heaps, but it's the best I can remember live. Players don't bump, they are too scared. Hits like that and others are exceedingly rare these days.

What an amazing bump- completely fair.
And as someone said- Viney aint soft and he definitely felt it. Kudos to him for getting up and coming back on.

Loved Stack's game- huge bump, great mark, clean hands and a super torp out of the backline. He is a pure footballer.
