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 ;)

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!

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.

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.

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.

    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.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
