Yeh, MFC would be in disaster mode, imagine Smooth trying to sell us some other bloke instead of Todd's boy, who may have joined Gold Coast, if they rated him as number two, will never happen, if it does, well I will walk after 60 years, and would never look back, unlike Lot's wife with no regrets.

The whole intent of the father/son rule is to enable sons to get to the clubs where their fathers played without costing that club 'overs' to get them there.

you were corrected in that the new FS system is actually designed to make it so clubs don't get 'unders' with their FS. IN the old system we would have him in round 3 which is the absurd outcome the rule was changed for. Viney for 3 is fair, if we get him at 26 it is massive 'unders' for us.

We need Viney and Toumpas together.

mmmm well 1 more sleep eh ! im pretty sure it will all go good for us , they wont bid is what im saying ,

Posted

No we need Viney and Wines together. Wines is a friend of Viney's, a Melbourne supporter and a very talented footballer. Toumpas can go to a SA club where he will be happy!

Would GC not think that, should Viney go in the second round, one of our other early picks will be available for trade. Given they are probably going to need multiple clubs involved in the Caddy deal, perhaps it would benefit them to leave those pick active. They may end up trading for one of those picks.

Eg. McIntosh and Gysberts to Geelong

Caddy to North

Pick 13 and North 1st round pick to GC

Pederson and something from GC to Melbourne

Example only. But if we use 3 on Viney surely we're less likely to trade with picks before the second round.

I guess what I am asking is what do GC get from bidding on Viney, unless they genuinely want him. The winner if we take him at three is the other clubs with selections directly behind us. They effectively move up one place.

Daniher to the dons for pick 10 is massive unders; Tom Mitchell to swans last year for pick 21 is massive unders. Viney is a mid/lower-mid round one pick; getting him at pick 26 is no more unders than these 2. The new system was to stop an Ablett going to the cats for a round 3 pick. So be it. :unsure:

Ed: spelling

Sorry, it's hard to keep up with these threads much of the time.

If Viney's rated top 5 to 7 in the draft (which he appears to be), and we are forced to use pick 3 on him in circumstances where the club before us doesn't actually rate him the pick 2 but nonetheless nominates him at that pick essentially to stuff us up, I don't think that is paying 'unders' for a father/son selection.

That said, I sincerely hope we do use pick 3 on him if that occurs. However, there is no way we're paying 'unders' in using pick 3 on a father/son selection here.

If GC have a top ten pick lined up in exchange for Caddy, North Melbourne perhaps, then they will surely nominate Viney. If not, then perhaps they are better off letting him go for the possibility of getting the Dees involved in the Caddy deal.

Its been noted in a few places that Caddy won't consider the MFC.

Ed: don't know how true this is. And North only have pick 14 at the moment.

How the **** has this got to 108 pages??? I gave up at 23 pages this morning it was around 43 pages now it's at 108??? I don't even want to imagine how much back and forth there has been over something that is a non-issue. Crazy way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

Pretty sure its been merged with other long Viney threads. Such as 'Viney a sun?' thread.

I think The Jack Viney thread and Jack Viney a Sun? thread got merged into a Demonland super merged extravaganza multi funzone super time thread.

Just read all 108 pages, and I think, correct me if I'm wrong here, GC may bid pick 2 on Viney, if they do, we'll have to use pick 3 to draft him. Well worth the 108 page read.

Ahh OK that makes more sense, thought Demonland had gone crazy...

GC are a bunch of pricks if they bid for JV tomorrow, and I hope that he spend his entire career smashing their players each and every time we play them.

Talk about going against the spirit in which the Father-Son rule is intended. It's not as if we are such a great team that another gun player will bring us an immediate premiership.

The dream

Pick 3 - Grundy

Dawes for Martin

3rd round - Peterson

Morton - Stevens

Petterd - weller (GC)

Remaining draft picks to cover small forward/defenders

With pace, bit of magic would be nice

I have heard from impeccable sources exactly how GWS and GCS's will bid on JT

I'll double check my sources and get back to y'all late tomorrow morning

Posted

JT?

Can we get someone in the trading department call the suns and see if we can interview a couple of their star midfield players, maybe ask how long Garry has on his contract, just in case they consider nominating viney as their first pick?

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo.
