WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - JACK VINEY

[Jesse Christ 2,884]

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?

[rpfc 27,662]

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.

Just saw a 20 second grab of Jack on Talking Footy!

WOW!!

He does look like a more aggressive Mitchell... I am so looking forward to this guy!!

How quick and hard was he?!

[Jordie_tackles 354]

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?

[H_T 2,941]

As am I.

Love to know something about this clique you speak of.

[Dee Fan 3,247]

It's a secret, only those in it know it exists. You and rpcf obviously aren't members.

[Axis of Bob 10,432]

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'.

Tha's it Bob, you finally got something right.

Did they make Steve Guttenberg a star?

Do they keep the martians under wraps?

Do they keep the metric system down?

[Dr. Mubutu 694]

The Gutte!

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.

Thats like saying Joel Corey, Cameron Ling, Joel Sellwood, James Kelly cant all play in the same side...Maybe add Jimmy Bartel in too

Exactly. Bunch of hacks.

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!

[Jesse Christ 2,884]

This thread should be on the main page. Because he is already a Demon. Just a thought..

[Whispering_Jack 28,096]

No, because we still have to bid for him officially in the 2012 draft and (inevitably) it's going to cost us our first pick.

[Jesse Christ 2,884]

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.

Hmmn, Tiny Tim Watson was playing @ 16 Yrs.

Some supporters are still stuck in that era.
