Viney has been assessed as 8th best buy professional analysts.

If u think he is better - that’s a separate argument.

A hard negotiator would make the Suns aware that the MFC won’t be using #3 to recover Viney, if they select him at #2.

The Suns would then know that they would be using their valuable No 2 pick on an 8th ranked player.

The Suns hierarchy later would go ballistic if they find their recruiters have taken an 8th best player at No 2. The net result would be that they pass on the 2nd best ranked player & we probably pick him up. Then the late 2014 threat that Viney goes to the draft after 2 years. The Suns are facing a lose/lose option IF WE HAVE THE FORTITUDE TO PLAY HARD BALL(?).

And if the Suns genuinely believe we won’t activate the F&S rule they CAN NOT SELECT Viney unless they really want him over however is No 2..

Our recruiter/selectors are duty bound to pick the best available player by taking a hard cold approach.

Football is way too serious for heart to rule head on this one. Take the small risk.

Speaking of...

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.

Whatever the price, we must pay it. We are in the midst of an era whereby players will jump ship. Scully & Goddard have set the scene. How many times did Goddard fist his St.Kilda heart? Players won't tolerate playing for chronic basketcases anymore. Money and success will mean more to most.

Even if Viney is considered a pick 6, the MFC must get him at any cost. Viney is an extremely rare commodity. Hard, tough, no-nonsense and WANTS to play for the MFC. Who has wanted to come here in the past few decades? Don't give me that fringe ageing superannuant we signed a few days ago either.

This club already has the Naitanui egg on its face. It won't double-dip by missing out on a young Lenny Hayes who will lead the red'n'blue.

Is the Naitanui egg anything like the Casowary.

Large Collectors items to some.

It's funny how many usually talk tough when the heat is on, but then turn to water with gooey sentiment.

The club is right, 'We will choose the best player available with our pick 3.

Only IF MFC think he's number 3 choose him. The Sun's play games and choose Viney to try and get us to bid. Stuff 'em, have him. He's said he'll go, he's a big boy, he'll be fine.

Having said that, I'd love Viney in the 2nd round. Bloody awesome!!

It's Viney at pick 3,DONE!

Only the MFC could [censored] this up.

Cale Morton won the Larke Medal and he's been $hitting himself ever since at AFL level.

We need Viney at ANY cost to show our peaheart mids (bar Jones) what tough contested footy is.

This is a very important point that some naysayers are missing. the rest of the top rounder potentials might look good at the under 18 level kjust like Cale and a few others did but couldnt make the next step. We know Viney CAN make the next step as he scored 29 disposals twice at VFL level.

Neeld said that he thinks the club knows where they rate Viney and all the other clubs do as well - then why the snakes and mirrors? if they stuff this up and it backfires this will be regarded as the worst decision since Norm Smith's sacking or Woewodin's trading LOL

so how did viney go at draft combine he wasnt in the top of any results did he compete surely GC are taking the [censored] saying they will take him

Hey smart guy, how did Whitfield go in the test results ? You know, the stand out pick one. He doesn't feature either.

They're just great footballers, which DC can't measure.

Whitfield came off thw flu just before the combine and going in was expected to break records such as the beep test and 3km time trail.

Viney wasn't

Just saying...

Yes, I saw that, but I was still surprised by his time of 3.15 seconds for the 20 metre sprint.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    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
