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".

Is Petterd going over the border to meet him??? Bad feeling that Ricky's going to be traded to Adelaide now...

a) No one knows who went where; and

b ) I hope that was sarcasm.

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.

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.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
