WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - JACK VINEY

Article Here.

Could be a real boost to see him in action at Casey next year ahead of being drafted. Especially if he manages to force his way into the senior side.

Hang on - he's a gun but give him a bit of time He's still only in Year 11

He'll be doing VCE next year - and Carey will be pretty keen to use him to help win a premiership

I wonder what number Jack will get... ? An early number or late?

If one can beleive what is said here and on other fora, #12 may well be available. Or, hopefully, #10.

Haha what a contrast in players that would be, Morton to Viney. I'd fall off my chair at least once a game thinking that Morton was playing instead of Jack.

He's an absolute nutter and I love it, just what we want in our club. A real [censored]-stirrer, who saw him in the Metro v country grand final? Was always the first in to all the fights, swinging people around and ripping guernseys. Also got reported twice though which may be a bit of a worry.

Just got back from watching Jack run around with Oakleigh in the TAC today. I thought he played an outstanding game today. For those who haven't seen Jack play as yet, think of Todd with a much better left foot. Of the players going around today, his playing style seems to remind me a lot of Sam Mitchell.

If Tapscott is referred to as The Bull, I think young Jack will be known as The Tank is years to come.

Not so much from his size (whilst he's still quite a solid teen), it is his attack on the footy and willingness to have a contest at every opportunity that is most pleasing to watch. Whilst Jack's not a quick player (like his old man), he never seems far away from the contest. He comes across as a very 'smart' footballer who reads the play incredibly well and seems to move to where the ball/contest will occur, rather than worrying about his opponent. I thought his attack on the footy today was top notch. A number of times today whilst he was 'resting' in the forward line he backed straight back into the contest with no second thought.

This may have been covered somewhere but I cant see it.

What are the rules in relation to what pick we must use for Viney in 2012?

For example if we trade away our first round draft picks for players then are we able to snare him with our 2nd round draft pick? Or if he is nominated by other clubs as a first rounder and we trade that pick does that mean we would no longer be allowed to get him?

I am also thinking if Scully does leave and we get extra draft picks that would most likely be held to next year what impact this would have.

F/S comes before trade so we can't do what you're saying - we have to use our next available pick after the best pick bid for him.

Not exactly. I believe how it works:

- Club nominates player as F/S

- Clubs much then nominate what pick they would use on him if he were to be available

- Club must then use their next available pick on him

Not exactly sure how it works if there are two F/S picks in the one year, though - although Billy Stretch is the year after isn't he?

Isn't that what old55 said?

If there's 2 in the same year, it works exactly the same - once the 1st round pick is used, the 2nd round pick would become the next available.

Obviously it depends on what other teams bid - you might get away with using lesser picks.

See Liberatore and Wallis in 2010 draft.

Compo picks would be exempt (fair assumption, I think).

And Stretch will be the year after.

It's more the exact working - you can have two clubs have vastly different values for a player. I don't know whether it averages out over 'round' or whether it is done off exact pick number.

Exact pick number.

If we were able to pick Viney this year, and another team offered pick 10, we'd need to use pick 12.

If the best offered by another team was pick 13, we'd be able to use our 2nd round pick (roughly pick 40).

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
