Not sure if anyone knows of this yet but tomorrow at 10:20 before the Grand Final the SA under 16 side will be playing the VIC Country under 16 side coached by Nathan Buckley.1 player in SA side is Jack Viney son of former Melb great Todd.Here could be a future Father-Son pick for us so will be interesting to see how he goes.Jack is still eligible for the under 16s next year so it will be afew years yet but obviously he has some potential.Also just keep your eye on a young lad called Mitchell Grigg who plays at Nowood & ive seen him close up.He started the year in the under 16s then dominated & went to under 18s,got a B.O.G then went up to the reserves,after 2 games he went up to Norwoods League side & played the last few games there,thats pretty good for a kid to play at that level when only 16,Norwood also has a young Ruckman who did the same thing & replaced the injured ex Swans Ruckman Stephen Doyle,hes about 198 & 90+ kgs.Just a couple of youngsters to watch but id be keen on Father-son Viney

thanks dee-man, will be worth a look.

Will try to give a report on how he goes.

 

The two U/16 finals moved to Visy Park to protect the playing surface for the big one. Would get pretty cut up by the time StKilda and Geelong took to the field with the weather forecast. Disappointing for the players but meh...the good ones will get their chance eventually :lol:

Oh. Looks like I won't.


Oh. Looks like I won't.

You think with the huge coverage, starting really early that they'd have at least some highlights

of all the pre games.. you'd think..

On 2nd thought I wouldn't think so, based on extremely limited appeal.

I actually have a reason to want to watch it, and i'd still pass it up on a coin flip

Does anyone know whether he played .He did not feature in the best or goalkickers.If he played, your thoughts please?

 

I am good friends with Jack Viney's old coach. His coach of the last couple of seasons until he went back to Adelaide this season as his old man became assistant coach in Adelaide after a long stint at Hawthorn.

Anyway, his old coach (who is a die hard Melbourne supporter) is extremely excited about this kid. He said he had "never seen a player take apart a game like Jack Viney". He also said that he is fast, has all the skills on both sides of his body, is a superb kick and is very, very tough. He said he was the best u15 player (2008 season) he had ever seen and that if the draft for this group was today he would likely go number one.

Jack Viney is a Hawthorn supporter after being brought up at Hawthorn with his dad assistant coach. However, he has already excepted he is highly likely to become a Demon. Simply as a first round prospect he will have a choice of either signing to go to West Sydney or taking father son as a Demon. He chooses us. The MFC is in regular contact with Jack Viney, if his form continues over the next two seasons he will be picked up f/s and become a demon, further adding to a impressive list of midfielders.

It is my understanding that Jack just turned 15 in April this year therefore another 3 years of under age football. I therefore understand that West Sydney will not get a look in,as in the 2012 draft, they can sellect players but he will only qualify as a father/son. This is my interpretation as in http://www.foxsports.com.au/story/0,8659,2...8851,00.html.If I am wrong, please explain. Thanks


I thought he was a year older.

Is he not playing u16 again next year? Turning 16yo in April would allow him to play u16 next season and would make him eligible for the 2011 draft.

refer to article-http://messenger-news.whereilive.com.au/sport/story/roosters-sign-son-of-a-gun/ where he was only 14 at the time of story which was March 2009.

So we agree then. If he was 14yo in March 2009 with an April birthday he will be 16yo in April 2010 and eligible for the 2011 draft. This being the case if he is any good he will have to make a choice between MFC of West Sydney. My understanding is that he has already made his mind up to go to MFC if given the f/s opportunity.

I am friends with Jack Viney on facebook and he will turn 16 on April 13 2010. So should be eligible 2011 draft and will be a demon!!! Bring on 2012 we are set for some exciting times ahead....we are going to be a force in 3 or 4 years!!!

4 Jacks all superstars!!!

Watts

Grimes

Trengove

Viney

Bring it on!!!!

By the way just looking at photos on jack vineys fb page and theres photos of the premiership team he played in (i think for school footy) holding the cup with one Jack trengove in the team photos too. These two boys are already used to success with one another!!!!!!

Cant wait to see both of them in the red and blue!!!!!

Sounds like a skillful and pacy version of his old man (insert mental picture of homer drooling over tasty food here)

Ok so If Jack Is available In 2011 (the West Sydney draft) and is as decent as they say, we could be in a prime position. Say Jack Is rated a top 10 pick. By 2011 we could finish around 7th-10th Id say, after all the West Sydney picks that would mean our first pick would be something like pick 25-30. Meaning we could land a top 10 pick around pick 30 under the father son rule.

Obviously I have no idea how good Viney Is but here's hoping.

By the time he matures, he'll be our Selwood/Rioli...

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
