    Nah, he walked with Crawford. B)

    How else would he get to Melbourne ?

    Btw, they are allowed to travel.

    It's definitely still there.

    I wonder who else is meeting him and in what context. Would be kinda weird if the club said to Ricky, "young man, go stalk Jack Viney, buy him a kids meal at Maccas and bring him to us".

    Wrong again-- he was being taken to Hungry Jack's--

    Really. B) If we had a emoticon to represent a jocular expression, I would have used it DeezMan.

    a) No one knows who went where; and

    b ) I hope that was sarcasm.

    Ricky Petterd's tweet: "2 answer few same questions, lunch with young jack viney went well, very informal and just had normal chat! Hopefully he becomes a Dee 1day!"

    Good piece in the Sun today about Chris Connolly and Jack Viney at the Freo Cats game last week. It said that Chris put the "hard tag" on young Jack all afternoon.

    We apparently brought his family over for the game.

    It is clear how important we view this boy and there is no doubt we are putting in the big effort to get him.

    Given all of the circumstances I feel confident he will become a Demon in a couple of years.

    PS. He was also pictured in a red and blue jumper as well.

    Nice pic, but I didn't know he was a Hawthorn supporter. Last paragraph:

    Viney, who picked up 40 possessions in May as a bottom-age player for North Adelaide's U-18s, is a Hawthorn supporter.

    His father was an assistant coach at Hawthorn while he was growing up here hence he followed the Hawks.

    Yeah, I knew that. But Jack being a Hawthorn fan kind of complicates all the blarney about Jack getting around in a Demons jumper.

    I believe that he's also said that he has had a "soft spot" for Melb and Adelaide. Also, I believe he's been pretty comfortable with the fact that he's been going to become a Demon for some time, hence the readiness to be photgraphed in a Dees guernsey. I see that as quite a positive.

    Well, I imagine he supported the hawks in his younger days as much as Scully supported the tigers.

    When it comes to playing in the AFL, often these allegiances are discarded, and when there's a realistic chance of being an AFL player, the kids don't allow themselves to get too attached in the first place.

    And I also think that would be a fact garnered a long time ago that is still used.

    I doubt they asked him about it just recently - his views may have changed on the matter.

    Non- factor.

    I dont think we have much to worry about.

    His dads a legend of the club

    He already has mates that play at the club

    He's meeting our officals and players

    He's allowing pictures of him posing In a Dees jumper

    The clubs on the way up on and off the feild..

    It's just a matter of time guys.

    I said it before and I will say it agian.

    No need for concern with JV. According to the Connors camp who he has either signed with or is poised to sign with, he will become a Dee. They have met with him and this is the feedback.

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.
