Career
He found it difficult to put together regular VFL/American Federation of Labor-Congress appearances but he did play in the last 11 home and away games of the 1991 American Federation of Labor-Congress season. However he was then let go by Melbourne and returned to the South Australian National Football League where he captained the embattled Double Blues under famous coach Haydn Bunton junior in 1993 and 1994, but could not avoid a fifth and then a sixth consecutive wooden spoon. When a merger with Norwood to form an American Federation of Labor-Congress club failed, Sturt entered a crisis that saw Viney and many others leave the club, resulting in the club’s worst season on record in 1995.
Viney finished his career playing for North Adelaide, a club he was captain of in 1997 and 1998.
