Of course he's good enough Todd, just sign him up already.

I believe Jack's with the AIS squad who are traveling as a group to Europe in April next year.

Meanwhile, Todd is showing the right attitude as a parent. His son is still only 16 and there's really no need to add extra pressure on his son's shoulders. Let's all demonstrate the same patience and let him develop into the club's third Viney in the fullness of time.

Yes I know.

Good on Todd for having that attitude and not talking about him like he's already there.

It'll make for a much quieter post season round here in 2012. Imagine the bulldogs boards now, "who,ll we get with pick 50 something" or whatever their first live pick is.

.....another Jack. We don't have enough.......

Just been doing a bit of reading and thinking on the Jack Viney topic...

He is eligible for the draft in 2012...

But we may be able to get him in 2011.

I've not checked the dates and his DOB so it might be all moot, but...

The way Adelaide was hoping to snaffle Jack may be an option for us.

GWS can select 4 x 17 year olds next year, and then must trade them to other clubs.

If Viney was able to stipulate that he only accepts provided he comes to us, we may be able to get him a year early and, depending on what GWS want in return, we may be able to get him cheaper, as with the F/S rule we will certainly have to use our 1st round pick in the first non-compromised draft in 2 years (meaning a pick at 16 or earlier).

Obviously they can only do it with 4 kids, so it depends on what designs other clubs have, but we will likely have later draft picks to offer (due to the Giants' picks).

We may end up being able to get Viney for a player who is still good but has become surplus to needs like (just an example) Bate, instead of giving up an early pick the next year.

There's also the possibility that we may (probably will) have a compensation pick.

It's bound to happen at some stage.

Depending on what other clubs offer, we may be able to do it cheap because the GWS would accept less as they are essentially getting something for nothing.

Sorry about the long rambling post, it's late at night & I'm exhausted from a big run earlier.

But does this all sound plausible?

Or am I horribly confused on this one?

That's not bad thinking E25. But look a little further, I reckon it depends on where Viney is rated. Let's say we end up something like 8th next season. We'd end up with a pick in the late teens as our first... Getting a kid that's rated in the top 5 or 10 in place of a pick around the late teens is still a steal. Also, when you consider what we'd have to give up to GET a a kid rated in the top ten... it'd have to be a good/great player with some years left, plus probably a pick somewhere, it may end up working out against us.

Interesting post though. Clearly you have too much time on your hands. :D

I would like to see the dees trade their first round pick next year for an up and coming player. For example, move our first pick to a gold coast for a Lynch type, then the earliest pick we can be forced to use for Jack Viney will be a second rounder. We then come out with 2 very nice quality players. The aim would be to find a young and talented enough target worth giving up a first rounder for, and of course a trading partner who is willing to give up a kid for a first rounder.

Not sure on the trading rules, but we could perhaps even look into a trade that sends our 1st and 6th rounder, a player for another teams 2 and 3 rounder, which then gives us more picks in the top 50 to play with.

I may be wrong on this, but I am pretty certain Father/Son Selections are decided before trade week..probably to avoid teams doing this sort of thing.

Don't think that would be possible as father son picks are announced before any trading is done on day 1.....

E25, I think in theory this would work (JV is in the correct 4 month period)

However you claim two benefits

1. Get him for a cheaper draft pick. e.g. 2nd round versus 1st round. GWS might go for this cos if he is F/Sed they get nothing. But it depends what other clubs might offer for GWS to prebook a 17YO.

2. Get him a year earlier. I don't think this works. GWS prebook him in 2011 but I think only hand him over for MFC drafting in 2012. If you just mean we get him "wrapped" up a year earlier then we can still do this if JW is prepared to pre-nomonate for F/S in 2011 (before GWS 17yo prenomination) but again he doesn't get officially drafted till 2012.

So, assuming JW, MFC and GWS can all come to agreement (big if) we could get JW wrapped up for a lower pick sacrifice only.

I think!!

Any ideas - obviously its new player show off time, its also profit/loss reporting time. I don't think there is anything to report in regard to football department signings. Would love a nice juicy sponsorship deal!

I certainly hope it goes along those lines, and not that Jim has had another setback :S

No, I think we'd get him a year early, as a 17 year old, just as GC have Weller, Russell & McKenzie, and GWS have Shiels, Bugg and Treloar.

I concede that the chances of getting him "cheap" are entirely dependent on what other clubs offer, and considering there would likely be other players on offer rated similarly to the above names, that is unlikely.

The whole thing centres around the fact that what we have to pay through F/S is a relatively known quantity (a 1st round pick) and through negotiation we may be able to get a better deal. This could mean a pick that is 8 spots later, or it could mean instead giving up a decent player who cannot squeeze into our side, as I anticipate there will be a couple.

I just think it's worth seriously considering as an option, but as Blistering pointed out, it already has been.

I just missed it.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los
