What doesthat really accomplish. He's just about too good for the Sa u18 comp and had he stayed would be starting in the Roosters ressies in 11 so why not bring him along in the Scorps ? TAC is for boys. Viney will outgrow that very quickly

This is very good news. Jack Viney from my contacts in SA would have all likelihood have gone at no 1 in 2012 draft. For us to get yet another no.1 pick when IMO we will be well into the eight next year is quite remarkable. It makes 2014 even more likely, and you just wait for the other clubs sceaming about the unfair drafting rules (watch EFC and the Pies). Particularly the Pies - they seem to think there is an endless run of premierships for the next ten years.

The Dees will be their nemisis.

You have something to say ? I said I doubt it, didn't say it wouldn't be. Comes to me as no great surprise tbh.

Maybe not a surprise to you to have it announced at a press conference, but the timing of the announcement by the club is a great initiative, both in terms of marketing and membership drive. I was merely stating a fact at the time.

Just hope this kid continues to develop now and carry on his under 16 form through to the under 18's and beyond.

It's great to finally see a top quality father/son coming to Melbourne. You can't help but be a little bit excited by this propsect seeing how our first pick in the 2012 draft could well be in the mid-late teens if we keep improving and moving up the ladder like we all hope.

So anyone know what the rules are here?

What happens if Jack Viney has some severe injury which either prevents him from playing or doesn't make him as desirable a draft pick? What if he "goes off the rails" or some other unlikely event means either we don't want him anymore or he doesn't want to play for us?

I obviously hope none of that happens, but surely nothing is signed that can't be undone?

Well the decision has come and he's ours!!!!!

Great work MFC and JV.

Now all that is required is hard work........

Jack Grimes kicks long from full back, Jack Fitzpatrick takes a towering pack mark, handballs off to Jack Viney streaming along the MCG wing, Whack.....Jack Trengove lays out Dale Thomas with a wonderful hip and shoulder as Viney keeps running. A spearing pass down the throat of a hard leading Jack Watts who immediately turns onto his trusty right foot and goes BANG from 50..................Goal.

Sorry, just a little day dreaming...think i'm a little excited!

He could play for the Scorps next year if they wanted him to.

Red that's what I thought . HeraldSun suggests not til 012. I don't see why not. I can see no reason he can't transfer from sanfl to vfl.

The reason the clun announced it, is because he is eligble to be taken by GWS under there draft concessions. It is similar to the libba/wallis situation at western which was announced a year out otherwise GC could of taken them but father/son override these selections.

And if something happens like injury and no other club nominates we get him as the last pick in the draft which is doubtful we still have teh ability to not slect him if he is nominated by a club at a pick that we don't want to match

The only real benefit would be the fact that he can be in a professional environment in the summer before he gets drafted which might mean he will rip it up in the u/18s but also be ready to go Rd 1, 2013.

Benefit of two summers in a professional environment ? 2010/2011 & 2011/2012.... ?

He'll rip it up regardless. Wonder what height he'll get to...

I wouldn't think he will be seen on the track this summer but who knows?

It said in his video interview he wouldn't be moving 'until January'...one would think to align with his schooling. and not club training commitments.

    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

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
