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.

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had
