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

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:

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

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

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.

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.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
