Jack Viney?

Featured Replies

Oh.

Ta E25.

He's going to be our Selwood. In the sense that the team will be settled and he'll be given the perfect initiation.

He sounds like an effing good kid. Can't wait to see him in our Premiership team

 
 

I know he's a Hawthorn supporter - but very happy to see him start donning the Red and Blue.

Training himself!


Time to roll out the red and blue carpet for our future pick 10-16?

Here's hoping his development continues the way it's being talked up.

I have a feeling that was a digitally altered photo.

Ha that's what I was thinking. They've done an ok job (better than usual) if it is.

Had me convinced it was real... very good effort if it is altered. I was thinking he must have come to train with the team over his summer holidays or something.

Either way, it's a great sight.

Looks fairly built for a 15-yr-old as well (more so in the previous article).

Justhear he racked up 40 touches in the under-eighteens. CAN'T FRICKIN WAIT


I'm positive the photo has not been digitally altered.

For a start, the big story is the doggies boys, but they don't bother to do the same for their article..?

No way it's photoshopped.

Soon he'll be doing that in SANFL before he's even old enough to be drafted.

I've been keeping tabs on him since prior to the 2010 draft. All the info I had, has been posted,so cant add anything new. He rejected the chance to play with his old mans team,and went to where Jay Viney played.

He cant have Todds N0 12 unless Sylvia hands it over.

But he could be a chance for N0 26 Jay Vineys old jumper.

Currently worn by J.Meesen

Off topic. Is there another James coming our way?

J.Grinter - Rods kid.

From the limited sources I tracked down, might be an outside chance to make it.

He'll wear number 3 or 7.


As I understand if he is good enough for another club to want to use a first round pick on him, being he's the son part in the father son equation, all we have to do is offer up our first round pick for him and he is ours.

If he is any good, WS will offer one of their first rounders for him which will force our hand. But I suppose the plus side of that is it doesnt matter if our first pick after 15- he comes to us.

This is all of course assuming he is worthy of a first round pick, I haven't seen him play. Plus, i'm not actualy sure if what I have said is correct, so we will need clarification from someone who actualy knows facts. Cue- someone else..

My understading is yes you are right we can over rule other clubs selection of him PROVIDED he agrees. There have been a couple of examples of clubs wishing to draft under the father/son rule and the boy himself said he did not want to go to the club of his father. Therefore, if he is considered not the best kid in the draft and adelaide finished say 15th, Jack might decide he wants to play for the club where his father is assistant coach and stay in the city where his family has its roots and where they currently reside.

To my knowledge, neither Todd nor Jack have expressed a preference that he comes to Melbourne. Adelaide could well cazump us.

also carlton have lodged papers to get the buckley kid that is carving up atm so that WS cant get him as one of their 17 year olds.. so i cant see why we wouldnt be able to do the same thing if he was good enough

only if he agrees. It is significant that Jack has recently signed for North Adelaide even though his father played anumber of games for Sturt. The Vineys are very strong Adelaide people and Todd is an assistant coach at the Crows - I wouldn't say this is a done deal by any means particularly if the Crows spend a couple of years at or near the bottom which at the moment looks likely. Todd may well opt for Adelaide over the Demons

Justhear he racked up 40 touches in the under-eighteens. CAN'T FRICKIN WAIT

Apparently he's the youngest player in his league in decades too...

All sounds pretty good so far. Give him a couple of years though. If he does a Swift and gets hurt somehow (which given how hard he apparently is at it, might happen) then maybe things'll change? If a week is a long time in footy, 2 years is an ETERNITY!

My understanding is that the MFC have been in regular contact for years and that Jack has accepted that his career lies at Melbourne.

If the photo hasn't been altered it's just another reinforcement that that will be the case.


I'm sure Barry Prendegast would have gone along to watch Jack Trengove play in a few school games for PAC after the state championships last year. Would not surprise me if he had a little chat with Jack after one of those matches.

I reckon he wouldve stopped in for a chat with Viney every chance he got.

Gotta make him feel the love.

I cant wait until the herald sun comes out a with a graphic of a poker hand of our 4 jacks (Watts, Grimes, Trengove and Viney) with Scully as the ace in the hole!!!

My pick will be:

Watts: hearts

Trengove: Diamonds

Grimes: Clubs

Viney: Spades

Scully: Ace of spades.........

Book mark this, I reckon it will happen a week after we draft Viney (or when he gets is rising star nomination)

 

Cam Schwab on Twitter says the club sent Jack a Melbourne guernsey last year.

So that suggests to me its not a digitally enhanced photo...

Hang on...

Who would be the Joker?

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
