Hi All

Just read this article on the bulldogs about father/son picks but it also talks about a development programme they run to involve future father/son picks in the club and identify areas that need development. Much like how Barrassi Jnr was involved in the club and its culture from a very early age.

Good idea as with our drought of father/sons picks coming through the system for us.

Todd Viney and Steven Stretch both have sons who can really play ...

My son's a great footballer. Now we've just got to figure how to get his father into the side... :D

Get Jimmy to adopt him. No I am only serious.

Viney's son is playing for North Adelaide juniors, U16s or 18s. Heard good things. Have to keep filthy Cows and Powa away.

Any more info on him or any other potential Father & Son picks would be great - would be very handy to have a few coming through over the next few years when we won't be able to rely on the draft (and when we're near the top of the ladder as well of course!)

They are young and dont need desperate fools like you putting pressure on them. In fact i find this whole thread just a bit unsavoury.

I'm a desperate fool who hasn't seen a flag in my lifetime and wondering if I ever will. I will put all the pressure I like !!!! I'd take take Jamie duursma's son if he could play. If you don't like the thread read something else.

An article on Jack Viney

Thanks for that...at least sounds like he has some potential

Ease up...who is putting pressure on him? We're not following him around or calling his house...we're discussing potential father son picks ffs!!!

WTF? If u don't like the post, don't read it and if u haven't anything constructive to say, then [censored] off. The only embarrassment here is u mate.

Spent months putting tossers in their place for pissing all over my team and fellow supporters in the h-sun footy but to see it here when we're all supposed 2 b on the same side, is a disgrace. Try an tell other people what to talk about- who the [censored] do u think u are?...

ANYWAY, back to topic... The young VINEY is built like a brick poophouse already, geezus! Good to know that while the gold coast are skimming the cream off the draft brew in a couple of years that we may have a good, young player waiting in the wings that they can't touch.

Very timely if it works out that way.

I highly doubt Jack Viney is reading demonland, and even if he is, I'm sure he's not saying to himself I better become a superstar and play for the Melbourne football club... people here speculating about future father son picks puts no pressure on these kids what so ever... the most pressure they will have will be that placed by themselves, in their quest to become a professional footballer...

Demon3, that was not the point of the article. It was how another club was being pro-active in developing talented youngsters that the club can recruit. Much like the old days with zones. With the draft its hard to take that long term look but father/son picjs gives us that opportunity. It also gives the chance of potential players to get involved with the club and build a stronger link and hopefully benefit from a our "strong" culture in getting the best of of themselves.

I understand that demon3 knows the Viney family? Which would explain why he's so passionate about the topic, but I seriously doubt that a thread on a site like this would add any further pressure on a young kid. I would have thought that having a father who competed at the highest level and the fact he's currently coaching an AFL would put more pressure on a kid to perform.

Like most boys growing up I'm sure something that drives him would be to at least equal his fathers achievements.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
