Jack Viney's last Melbourne Demons cards: collector's guide
Jack Viney was traded to West Coast Eagles on AFL Trade Deadline Day, 14 October 2026, ending a 238-game career at Melbourne. The two confirmed cards showing him in Demons colours for the last time are the 2026 Select AFL Footy Stars base #142 and the 2026 AFL Teamcoach base #99. Those pieces of cardboard now carry 14 seasons of red and blue, a drought-breaking premiership, and Melbourne's all-time tackle record.
Which cards show Viney as a Demon for the last time?
Both 2026 base cards were printed and distributed before the October trade deadline, so they show Viney in Melbourne colours throughout. They are the last cards in either major annual set to do so.
- 2026 Select AFL Footy Stars base #142 (confirmed via TCDB and Jaja's Collectables checklist)
- 2026 AFL Teamcoach base #99 (confirmed via TCDB checklist)
What made Viney's Melbourne career worth collecting?
238 games, 70 goals, and Melbourne's all-time record for career tackles. That is a résumé that belongs in any serious Demons collection.
- Co-captain alongside Nathan Jones from 2017 to 2019; vice-captain under Max Gawn after that
- 2021 premiership player, Melbourne's first flag in 57 years
- Keith 'Bluey' Truscott Medal (Melbourne Best and Fairest) in 2016 and 2024
- Life Member, awarded 2024
- 1,396 career tackles, the Melbourne all-time club record
Are there insert and parallel versions to chase?
The 2026 Footy Stars range includes inserts across the full checklist, including Luminous Base, Footy Heads, BOOM /510, and Octane Diecut variants. No specific insert card numbers have been confirmed for Viney in any of those sets, so hunt with an open mind rather than a fixed checklist.
In Teamcoach, the standard Silver and Pearl parallels of base #99 are the most accessible versions to chase. There is no 2026 Teamcoach Best and Fairest insert for Viney as that set honours the 2025 season winner, and Viney did not win Melbourne's B&F in 2025. If you find a parallel in the wild, snap a photo and value it in CardLoft.
The father-son story behind the card
Jack came to Melbourne via the father-son rule at Pick 26 in the 2012 national draft. His father Todd Viney played 233 games for Melbourne, captaining the club and winning the Bluey Truscott Medal twice himself. Two generations of the same family, the same club, the same award: that thread makes Jack's 2026 cards more than just a trade-period keepsake.
