And the amount of clanger kicks by Grimes.

If that's your concern I suggest you do a proper analysis of the demon backline disposal skills. Bartram, Garland Rivers? I suggest you add that extra column and go alphabetically with Bartram at the top. Call it efficient disposal. It will be a lot easier to count than clangers. He runs well, great courage, little football mind, close in handball is about his best skill, the rest are hardly worth it. Thinking to slow, to indecisive, to inaccurate.

I put a post up saying that Jack Viney has appeared at the training run on both the last two Saturday mornings, to have a run with the team, looks really sharp and fit already

Spoke to Todd at the Casey game, they are hoping to do a Liberatore, ie keep himm training and playing with a monitored program in place, so when he is drafted he is really ready to go from day one.

He is at 80kg at the moment and growing slightly taller.

Agree - now you are having a go at Grimes. The way you are going at him, I don't have to make a comment. You'll be soon agreeing with me that Garland is not a key defender after a shocker last week against Brisbane.

Are you unable to detect sarcasm? Seriously?

Your constant personal attacks are tiresome. Give it a rest.

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.

Yes he is working through a program which balances his Year 11 studies with his desire to play some footy with his schoolmates.

David King is Carey's senior coach - so even at school he is getting direct exposure to the AFL.

David King is all class when it comes to the modern game

Emma Quayle reveals how Melbourne can secure Jack Viney early in Clubs strike it rich on early calls.

Not boasting (much), but I'd like to award a prize to whoever finds my post from last year where I suggested that the club should avail itself of this rule to officially secure Jack Viney a year early and without having to give up a first round pick. :lol:

We can see from what's been happening at GC17 that new franchises need a balance of more mature bodies and experienced players to help the younger players out in their formative years and I think Sheedy is astute enough to be able to figure this out and, among other things, use this rule to help achieve that balance with his squad. It's all a matter of learning from the mistakes of others.

Incidentally, the VFL/TAC Cup Record list for the Oakleigh Chargers has Jack Viney (#20) down at 178cm 77kg. He turned 17 years of age two days ago, so from one Jack to another. Happy Birthday!

Personally I find some of the responses to that post more alarming than amusing.

Learn to read sarcasm people!!!!!!

Jaded, if the communicator wants to be understood, then it's the communicators responsibility to alter their methods to get the story across. If they care.

Why is sarcasm the lowest form of wit?

Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit since its aim is to belittle or hurt someone, and to laugh at their expense; we associate the word "cutting" with it. On the other hand, true wit associates with the word "levity", and boosts everyone's spirits, being aimed at an action, a happening or an attitude.

come come dee-luded, don't be so pedantic and victorian, its just a saying like many others and not always true

sarcasm is perfectly acceptable (and amusing) in the right context

other inaccurate truisms....

"the grass is always greener on the other side"

"a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush"

etc etc

Their are a number of equally high players available in this group, predicted top tens i believe who are able to be drafted by the four "lucky" clubs.

I would ask why not try to secure one of these other players who we have zero chance of accessing with our first pick the following year presuming we will be mid teens or so?

We already have access toJack who is supposedly a top ten draft pick who HAS committed and we will get with a similar mid teens pick at the most.

Get one of the 17y we can receive at a similar discount to jack then take jack the following year?

Some big packages will be offered to be one of the four clubs with access to these kids, all of them including such players as jack and daniher are huge prospects.

just my thought on it

Agreed, and we all use it to some degree.

I think the difference is in the 'Tone', whether the tone is well meaning and cheeky, or if it is just plane Mean and Nasty,,, malicious. Thats why we ban obsceneity, not for it's homour, but it's Hurt factor, or damage.

The 'Tone' is hugely important as it underpins the 'Ambience' of the whole site. How we getalong, or we can become like 'ology'.

Pretty sure Jack is off to Europe tomorrow for 12 days with the AIS AFL Academy.

Article

Here is the link saying that he was selected last year for the intake

Interestingly, the first article states that the Australian U17 team will play a match against the Geelong VFL side as a curtain raiser to tonights game at the MCG. Hopefully Jack gets a run and we can see how he has progressed somewhat since last year.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
