So it is common knowledge we are going to take him, he already has a contract with us, by all reports he is ready for AFL now.. why the hell do we have to wait for next season to be over before he gets a game?

I mean he's on the payroll already.. what's with these stupid rules?

It seems to me that some Melbourne supporters have kind of slipped into a welfare mentality where we think we haven't been afforded enough by the system. We want it all but don't want to have to pay f

Read between the lines folks. Effectively the club through Viney is telling both Gold Coast and GWS that they will call their bluff on pick 3. If either choose to take Viney at one or two then the MFC

If that is the case it's pretty simple we take him at 3. No drama at all.

Interestingly in an article by Sam Landsberger in todays Sun, the last paragraph stated "Viney is not eligible to be drafted until next year, but has committed to a three year deal with the Dees under the father son rule from 2013.

Which perhaps could be correlated with the five year deal mentioned in the Age as being for this year and next in development and then three years on our main list.

Yeah, that's what we assumed.

I would say the two 'lead-up' years would involve us paying for sessions with bio-mechanic experts (money we wasted on he-who-cannot-be-named) and physio work etc.

Really looking forward to Rd 1, 2013.

They changed the rules for the year after Jack Watts was drafted to say that players had to be older. Think they have to turn 18 the year they are drafted now (previously was only 17 I believe)

They pushed the draft age forward by 4 months, which allowed a bigger pool for GC last year.

Yes we were and no you shouldn't.

I am, however, waiting for all those like RR who seem to have a policy of not recruiting ready made players who will be as good as they will ever be in their first year and preferring to recruit players that have a minimum of 4 years before they produce what other kids do in their first game, to provide some comment.

Although i am very much in the RR corner when it comes to recruiting RF, in that i want the best player regardless of how they are now blah blah,

i do really like how much you play people with the ready made lines, seems to always catch someone, wish i had this type of bait when i went fishing this arvo

If you have an opinion that differs from the clique on here you get hammered, so I like to return the ball over the net at times. Jack Viney is a classic example of a player that some on here would say we don't need because he's as good as he will ever be, and if he wasn't already ours they would be calling him another Darling, Rich or Palmer.

I'm over the moon, he's ours and I reckon he will be a beauty.

Enjoy your fishing? Jordie Tackles; interesting name for a fisherman.

The clique?

A think there are a few of those...

Are you in one of them?

You know .... 'them'.

Those people that don't agree with him.

Those people that will argue against him when he says something that they don't agree with.

You know .... 'the clique'.

Ah right.... Those that have an alternate view to someone's view. So this is the 'clique'.

When I disagree with my wife, me, myself and I am the 'clique'. And so is she, herself and her. Fascinating.

Paranoia gone mad.

Can't wait for Viney to arrive but tell me this. Does anyone see a problem with Jones, Mckenzie, Moloney and Viney all playing In the side? A little one dimensional? All of them love the hard ball but how many of those sorts can a team play In the one side.. Maybe add Gysberts also.

Did you see Hodge, Lewis, Mitchell and Sewell going around for the Hawks the other night? Honestly don't think it's a problem at all. In fact, bring it on!

Be that as it may, the chances of Viney coming to us are as sure as the Sun rising in the morning. The drafting process for him is merely a formality..

I'm ust thinking ease of access for the Demonland members.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    POSTGAME: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    The Demons almost blew a six goal lead and ultimately hung on to win by three points over the North Melbourne Kangaroos at the MCG and have temporarily jumped back into the Top 8.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.
