Can someone explain "the Jack Viney" situation to me? How would we be in a position to announce anything with regards to him playing for Melbourne?

Not 'Cool'

Unfortunately, what the CEO thinks is a cool announcement for the organisation he works for is not necessarily everyone else's idea of cool.

I still don't get how this can be announced already - not that I'm complaining. Surely neither player not club are "locked" into this until he is actually drafted?

Damn. I thought it was going to be unisex shower rooms at the new docklands facility.

Still, good news. And up you GWS.

Does that mean he can now play with the Scorps in 2011 ?

Other clubs have stated they will pick up Father and Son players before they can be drafted. It just means the other teams now know and they can now save time in trying to get him. I also think it locks in the fact thhat we will have to use a 1st round pick for him, as other clubs will say they wanted him, knowing they cant, just to make us use the earliest pick.

Looks like we added a new midfielder to our list after all ;)

no wonder we opted to load up on talls at the draft. Assuming he reaches his potential, its a great move by the club because as they said in the article by Matt that it allows them to commence his preparations now for round 1 2013 ;) Still can't believe its more than two years away though...

I'd prefer him playing TAC Cup next year, rather than in the VFL.

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

Really, this is just a formality.

I'm a bit surprised, considering the timing, that we have not also presented our new draftees.

Maximizing the exposure, I guess.

Agreed, far better for development. Stoked to have him at Melbourne, bring on the future.

no reason why they couldn't put him in for a handful of games...good experience getting to play with gawn and fitzpatrick?

With all this talk about TAC Cup and VFL, keep in mind that he'll probably be required to play a fair bit of footy with his school - which I'm guessing will be Carey Grammar, given he's already been a student there.

Presuming that's on the money, he'll be zoned to the Oakleigh Chargers and will play the remainder of the games with them. In the TAC Cup, he will likely be playing against opponents with greater relative talent than he would in the VFL seconds. Best he develops his game among his peers at the moment.

And if his progress continues at the same rate, he'll be in the top two per cent of player in that comp. Confidence can go a very long way when you're 16.

No doubt Melbourne will be keeping an eye on his development but he's also got to be afforded the chance to be a regular kid, too.

    TRAINING: Monday 20th January 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training. GATOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS There were 5 in the main rehab group, namely Gawn, Petracca, Fullarton, Woewodin and Lever.  Laurie was running laps by himself, as was Jefferson.  Chandler, as has been reported, had his arm in a sling.  Lindsay did a bit of lap running later on. Some of the ''rehab 5'' participated in non contact drills and b

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
