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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year.
