I attended the Casey Demons breakfast yesterday where the MC was Chris Connolly and David Neitz was also one of the speakers. Chris gave an overview of where other clubs were at and also talked about recruiting. He mentioned that Jack Viney was starring in SA and that the demons were planning on recruiting him under the father & son even though he is 2 years away. He went on to say that the club was meeting with Todd Viney this weekend when he is in Melbourne to start making the necessary arrangements. Sounds like good news!!!

Chris also talked about other club stars who had recently had boys and asked David Neitz when we can expect a few boys from him. David said that at this stage, he and his girlfriend are just practising...

Sorry Enforcer to add to the thread but it would be great news for us if Jack Viney picked the Dees. He is apparently a potential Number 1 pick and we won't be any where near that pick in the near future. A few clubs have done very well with father/son players while we have been quiet in that area. With a few choices coming up including Stretch and Grinter sons in the coming years we can end that imbalance and further build on our stocks of young talent. This is great news as we won't be getting anywhere near the early picks in the next few years, I hope.

Can't believe our luck with this kid.

Not just in getting a good player via father-son, but getting an absolute gun touted as a number 1 pick.

Just Immediately after the drafts pillaged by the 2 new teams.

Just as we're about to really hit our stride and will get late draft picks. (you might say it'd have been better to get him in the GC17/GWS years, but by 2012 I think our pick will be quite a bit later.)

This will be akin to adding Selwood to Geelong's midifeld - the finishing touch.

Slightly off topic but doesn't GWS have two years of draft concessions? I seem to remember reading that, if so, Viney will fall into the 2nd year for GWS, and that would be a great result for Melbourne. H is confident that he's accepted us btw.

On Grinter, don't be too excited. I've heard that he's not quite there yet. If he comes on then great but probably best not to expect it.

ive got a bad feeling we are going to lose an untouchable to either GC or GWS and then have to use our compensation pick (which will be our best in that draft) on Viney

i dont think the compensation pick will come into play, we have to nominate if we're going to use it at the start of the year, so it would be just our normal first round pick if some other team nominates they would pick him before our first pick. hope that makes sense

edit spelling

My gut tells me:

Petterd to GC17

Maric to GWS18

Not to bad, could of been a lot worse!

That was the original plan, but once the teams started to realise how good the GC17 had it and started to grumble, there was no way they were going to take 2 years of GWS pillaging.

Around mid-late last year the AFL officially changed their stance to only 1 year of a tampered draft for GWS.

I know that Jack Viney's credentials have been highlighted before on this forum but I can't control myself. I live in SA and have heard excellent reports about Jack Viney. He played U16 as an U15 player. He could easily play U18 as an U16 this year but isn't permitted. That's how good he is at his age. Great skills but the exceptional thing is his attack on the ball. He just frightens oppositions! Apparently a level-headed kid too.

Should fit nicely into our Premiership midfield in his rookie year?

Where has he been touted as a potential number 1 pick??

Haven't seen him touted as a number 1, but the SA coach (I think, or guy who has coached all 3 of them at a high level) reckons he is as good as, if not better than Gibbs and Trengove at the same stage

This bit excites me the most, despite 2 years away from anything remotely coming to fruition.

And Gary Lyon's eldest must be also close.

I remember an article years and years ago about Geelong's 2 Coreys when they were starting out - they both needed decent nicknames to tell them apart so Joel Corey became 'Smithy' and Corey Enright became 'Boris'.

This will be a gargantuan task in comparison.

Be prepared for some terrible nicknames.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    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
