Viney moved toAdelaide,South Australiain 2009 after his father became an assistant coach at theAdelaide Football Cluband he attendedPrince Alfred Collegefor years nine and ten.[5]In his first year at Prince Alfred, he was invited to train with the first XVIII football team and he became only the second year-nine student to play with the first XVIII in the school's 147-year history.[9]He received state-honours in the 2010 under-16 championships by representing South Australia and captained the side to the winning title, he was also named the state'smost valuable player.[10]Through the AFL elite talent junior pathways, he received a scholarship with theAustralian Institute of Sport(AIS) as part of the AIS-AFL Academy in the 2010 intake[11]and travelled to Europe in April 2011 as part of 30-man squad.[12]In November 2010, he signed a five-year contract with Melbourne ensuring he would be drafted by them in the2012 AFL draftunder thefather–son rule.[5]

AFL career
[edit]2013 season
[edit]He's a tenacious, fearless, hard player...He's going to bring a lot of people a lot of joy at this footy club
Neil Craig,formerMelbournecaretaker coach[21]
Viney was rated by recruiters as the "sixth to eight best player" heading into the2012 AFL draft,[22]however, under thefather–son bidding system,speculation grew that theGold Coast Football Clubwould bid their first round pick in the draft, the second overall, forcingMelbourneto match the bid with the third overall selection.[23][24]Gold Coast ultimately chose not to bid pick two on Viney,[25]and after thePort Adelaide Football Clubbid their first round selection on him,[26]Melbourne matched the bid with their second round pick, and recruited him with their second selection and twenty-sixth overall in the2012 national draft.[27]Viney made his debut in the first round of 2013 against Port Adelaide at theMelbourne Cricket Ground,[28]despite losing the match by seventy-nine points and the team being labelled as "embarrassing", Viney was praised by the media for his performance in the match and his leadership on and off the field.[29][30][31]After the ninety-five point loss againstFremantlein round twenty-one at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, he received the round nomination for theRising Starwhere he recorded twenty-eight disposals, five tackles, five marks, four clearances and a goal.[32]He was praised by then-Melbourne caretaker coach,Neil Craig,for his competitive mindset and Craig drew comparisons between Viney's mindset and 2016Brownlow Medallist,Patrick Dangerfield's.[33]He managed thirteen matches in his debut season after missing eight matches in the middle of the season through a toe injury.[34]His season was rewarded with theHarold Ball Memorial Trophyas Melbourne's best young player and he finished fourteenth overall in thebest and fairestcount.[35]
2014 season
[edit]Viney had a delayed start to the 2014 season after having an injury-interrupted pre-season due to foot and hip issues.[36]He played his first match for the season in the thirty-two point loss againstGreater Western Sydneyin round three atSpotless Stadium.[37]He received widespread news coverage during the season after an incident in round seven where he collided with Adelaide player,Tom Lynch,resulting in a broken jaw to Lynch.[38]Viney was referred directly to theAFL Tribunal,bypassing the match review panel and the opportunity of an early plea.[39]He was initially suspended for two-weeks with the rationale given by AFL legal counsel, Jeff Gleeson, that he could have "spun out" of the impending collision, rather than brace for contact.[40]The outcome sparked backlash among past and present players and fans,[40][41]includingAustralian Football Hall of Famemember,Dermott Brereton,who protested he would boycott the Hall of Fame events that year due to the "fundamentally wrong" direction the game was taking.[42]The AFL chief executive officer at the time,Andrew Demetriou,weighed into the debate by stating Viney was very unlucky to be suspended.[43]Melbourne announced their intention to appeal the ban[44]and successfully had the suspension overturned,[45][46]becoming only the second time an appeal was successful under the 2005–2014 AFL Tribunal system.[43]The AFL released a statement two-weeks after the appeal stating the reason behind the overturned suspension was "because he didn’t bump Adelaide’s Tom Lynch but instead braced for contact."[47]He played twenty matches for the season and finished eleventh in Melbourne's best and fairest count.[48]
2015 season
[edit]He's a good little player...tough to play on. To be honest he's a real competitor. I've played with a few of them and he's the sort of player you want to play with.
Joel Selwood,Geelongcaptain[9]
Viney played in the first two matches for 2015 before fracturing hisfibulain the round two loss to Greater Western Sydney atStarTrack Oval.[49]He returned in round nine against Port Adelaide atTIO Traeger Park[50]and played the remainder of the season. The season saw him move into a loose-tagging role and he was lauded for restricting the impact ofGary Ablettin the round one win against Gold Coast,[51]andJoel Selwoodin the round twelve win againstGeelong,[52]with the latter drawing praise fromGerard Healywho labelled Viney as the "newBrett Kirk".[53]His season was rewarded with a second-place finish in theKeith 'Bluey' Truscott Medal,finishing one vote behind the winner,Bernie Vince,despite playing six less matches,[54]he also received the Norm Smith Memorial Trophy (coaches award) and James McDonald Trophy (heart and spirit award)[55]and it was labelled as his breakout season byFox Sports Australiajournalist, Adam Baldwin.[56]
2016 season
[edit]Heading into the 2016 season, Viney was added into Melbourne's leadership group[57]and he stated his leadership style was to "lead by actions".[58]In the opening round match against Greater Western Sydney, he played his fiftieth AFL match, in which he was named the best player on the ground by then-Melbourne coachPaul Roos,AFL Mediaand theHerald Sun,and recorded thirty-two disposals (fourteen contested), six tackles, five marks and four clearances in a two-point win.[59][60][61]His first half of the season saw him in strong form, whereby he was placed fourth in theAFL Coaches Association champion player of the yearleader board after round eight,[62]he had featured in theAFL Media'steam of the week in three out of four weeks between rounds four and seven,[63][64][65]he had one of the largest rises in the league in the official AFL player ratings,[66]he was named inThe AgejournalistRohan Connolly's unofficial mid yearAll-Australian team,[67]and was highly praised within the industry for his form.[68][69][70][71][72][73][74]His performances in the first half of the season saw him sign a contract extension in May, linking him to the club until the end of 2020.[75]
In the forty-five point loss in round ten against Port Adelaide at Traeger Park, Viney was suspended for one match for striking Port Adelaide midfielder,Brad Ebert,[76]and in a separate incident, he fractured a knuckle bone which initially ruled him out for one month.[77]After missing just the one week, he returned to the team in the forty-six point win againstCollingwoodin the annualQueen's Birthday clashin round twelve,[78]in which he recorded thirty disposals, six marks, four tackles and a goal.[79]He finished the season playing in twenty-one out of a possible twenty-two matches and averaged a career high 26.1 disposals, six clearances and seven tackles and ranked fourth in the AFL for tackles, sixth in centre clearances and eleventh in overall clearances.[80]His season was rewarded with the Keith 'Bluey' Truscott Medal as the clubbest and fairest,finishing eight votes ahead of club captain,Nathan Jones[81]and he was the recipient of theRon BarassiJnr Trophy (leadership award).[82]In addition, he was named as one of the ruck rovers in the22under22 team,[83]he was selected inAFL Media'steam of the week five times,[84][85]he was labelled as a "premium midfielder" byESPNjournalists, Niall Seewang and Jake Michaels,[86]and Nathan Jones, noted he was the "obvious choice" to be his successor as Melbourne captain.[87]
2017 season
[edit]Jack certainly plays in the same vein [as Joel Selwood]. You could argue his leadership credentials are probably stronger than Selwood's at the same age.
Brad Sewell,two-timeHawthornpremiership player[88]
Viney had a delayed start to the 2017 pre-season after requiring surgery on his hip at the end of the 2016 home and away season.[89]On the eve of theJLT Community Series,he was announced as the co-captain of Melbourne alongside Nathan Jones with senior coach,Simon Goodwin,noting he is "a very talented player who role models exactly the core values we want in our playing group."[90]With his father, Todd Viney, captaining the club in 1998 and 1999, it was the first time in club history a father and son have held the position on a permanent basis.[91]The move to elevate Viney to co-captain was questioned by the media and public considering Viney's young age and the only other time Melbourne had co-captains was during very poor performed years from 2012 to 2014.[92]

Following his strong 2016 season,AFL Medianamed him inside the top fifty players in the league[93]andFox Sports Australiajournalist, Anna Harrington, predicted he would continue his linear improvement and is "the gun player" of Melbourne.[94]Despite the positive expectation on him, he struggled for form early in the season and was criticised by former player and media personality,David King,for his performance in the thirteen point loss toRichmondat the Melbourne Cricket Ground in the Anzac Day eve match due to wasting energy with his aggression towards opposition players off the ball.[95]Soon after, he found form and was named inAFL Media'steam of the week in rounds seven, eight and twelve.[96][97][98]He was praised in particular for his match against Collingwood in the Queen's Birthday clash, in which he recorded twenty disposals, ten contested possessions, three clearances and seven tackles to be named one of Melbourne's best players by Anna Harrington.[99]
Two weeks later, he was the sole captain of Melbourne for the first time after Nathan Jones injured himself the week before and Viney helped the club defeatWest CoastinPerthfor the first time in fifteen seasons with a three point win.[100]His performance in the match was labelled "the stuff of legend" byAFL Media's,David Reed.[101]Despite injuring his shoulder in the third term and missing most of the quarter, he finished the match with thirty-eight disposals, twenty six contested possessions, nine clearances and a goal.[102]His leadership drew high praise, with Simon Goodwin saying "he's just an incredible player around the contest and he was unbelievable as our skipper"[103]and Viney drew comparisons to Joel Selwood andMichael VossbyGarry Lyon,[104]Dennis Cometti[105]andBrad Sewell.[88]He received the maximum three Brownlow Medal votes in the match, meaning he was adjudged the best player on the ground by thefield umpires[106]and was named inAFL Media'steam of the week.[107]The next week in the thirty-five point loss toSydneyat the Melbourne Cricket Ground, he injured his foot which required surgery to hisplantar fasciaand he was ruled out of playing football for four to six weeks.[108]
Viney missed just two matches and returned in the twenty-three point win against Port Adelaide at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in round eighteen, recording a game-high ten clearances, in addition to twenty-five disposals, seven tackles and six inside 50s which led to teammate,Dom Tyson,saying "he's just so important, he's our captain and you just walk that little bit taller when he's on the field with you"[109]and he was named inAFL Media'steam of the week for the fifth time in the season.[110]He played the next three matches before pulling up sore in his foot during the twenty-four point win againstSt Kildaat the Melbourne Cricket Ground in round twenty-one.[111]He was forced to miss the remaining two games of the season after the club missed finals by 0.5 percentage points.[112][113]Playing eighteen matches for the season, he finished second in the club best and fairest[114]and received the Ron Barassi Jnr Trophy (leadership award) for the second consecutive year.[115]Despite the early season criticisms of Viney becoming co-captain, he received continual praise throughout the season for his leadership withCameron Mooneypredicting he could become one of the Melbourne's greatest captains[116]andAFL Mediajournalist, Damien Barrett, said the choice to appoint co-captains was paying off.[117]
