Jack Viney

Does anyone know where Jack Viney is playing football this year and how he has been going in the early games or practice matches? Haven't heard much about him till we signed him? Do we get him this years draft or is it the year after? I'm assuming we will be using our first round pick, not unhappy about this I hope he's a good as a first rounder

Would be great if Viney could start off the same way Tom Liberatore has. Has anyone has seen him play? Is he the same type of player as Libba? Love the way he tackles and attacks the footy or are we hoping for more?

 

The interesting thing will be what pick we have to use to get him. Until I know that, he is not part of my immediate plans for premiership core.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but we are governed by the other Clubs in regards to what round we have to pick him? Isn't the rule something like if other clubs rate him as a first round player, then we have to use our first round selection on him? If we have to use our first rounder on him, then obviously other clubs think he has some potential too.

I'm only making that statement because I have never seen him play, and in no way am I questioning his ability!

Basically, yeah.

 

It is a bidding system to stop teams getting a potential top ten pick in the 40's (Hawkins)

For instance if Melbourne say that they will use pick 50 for Viney and Richmond come along and say well if he was in the Draft we would use our first round pick if he was available then Melbourne can either use their first round pick (Or next pick after Richmond?) to secure Viney or Richmond is obligated to take Viney if he is available at their selection.

Pretty sure thats how it works.

I think we have to use our first pick after the highest opposing bid. If we decline to do so then the club who bid is obliged to honour their bid and take him at that position. Since all early reports suggest he's a potential number 1 I think we'll be happy to use our first round pick on him.

Spot on.

So does anyone know how's he's tracking, where he's playing this year, how he has been going in pre season or early round matches, what year we get him and does he play like young Tom Libeartore?

According to the VFL Footy Record from round one last week, he is on the list for the Oakley Cargers TAC team this year.

I hadn't realised you were in such a position of power ;)

Didn't you get the memo? :P

You just never know who lurks on online forums! Just kidding!

I just get nervous when posters include young Jack V in their midfield plans for 2013+. The poor kid hasn't even been drafted yet and already people are placing expectations on him!


WIll the GWS draft concessions be up by the time he's old enough to draft? THat would be handy because our first pick may not even be the late teens which would pretty much be using a 2nd round pick to pick up a potential top 3.

They put him on a 5-year contract to the club late last year, with the playing part of said contract from 2013-2015. That's a signal of intent from the club if ever I've seen one. It'd be nice to see the club try to take the Tom Liberatore-Mitch Wallis approach to Jack, where those two have been actively training with the Bulldogs for the last two years and thus at this point have basically been ready to go and challenge for a slot in the side from the word go.

I've been to the last two open training sessions at aami and jack viney has been training with the senior side.

That'll make 5 Jacks at the MFC, all we need is a bouncing ball !

Who's the fifth?

Watts, Viney, Trengove, Grimes...

I spotted him in the change rooms before yesterday's game, having a chat to Jordie McKenzie... good to see.

As for where he's playing, I believe Oakleigh and Carey Grammar in the APS... and Vic Metro no doubt.

Does anyone know if he's grown at all?, I think he was ~175cm around the time our father son intentions were announced...

Clearly the Melbourne website should add a column next to the membership tally so that we can keep track of Viney's height.

And the amount of clanger kicks by Grimes.

If I'd been drinking something when I read that I think it would have ended up on the monitor.

From what I was told the other day he has grown a bit and it look as if he will have his father's height and build, he has got a great physique.

BTW i was talking to Jordie and he hopes to be back the first week after the break but I think he may be a bit optimistic, Robbie campbell was also hoping to be back then but I think he was being double optimistic.

 

It's just great to have a father son at the club :wub:

lets just hope and prey it ends up nothing like our last father son selection.. love the fact that the club have faith in him already to put up the $$$

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
