WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - JACK VINEY

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Awesome news! I hope we can get this Hogan kid who sounds good.

[daisycutter 29,616]

don't understand the fuss - was always going to be a 2nd rounder

ye of little faith

[H_T 3,047]

I know you accidentally posted this twice H_T.... but if true, I have no problems with you posting it again! :D

I actually posted it three times in my excitement. Couldn't post it quick enough. Haven't been able to get on to D'Land til now. Experienced a meltdown since the news.

[H_T 3,047]

So we are going to use pick 4 on Caddy, hope not true!!!!!!!!!!!!

No way in the world pick 4.

[Norm Smith's Curse 2,602]

Having some computer trouble hence my late reply. But this is absolutely the best result! Well done dees - so much for 'overplaying' our hands - we got the job done and that is all I care about because he will be a gun!

Keep believing in the Neeld era Id say!!

May I suggest to the MFC they get a Truck load of whatever number Jack Viney will wear. They will sell quicker then cake at a fat camp.

[dee-luded 2,959]

YES YES YES

Thanks & Welcome

Thanks to GWS, Tim H, T V, & the Dees Footy dept' !

Welcome Jack Viney, Demon!

GoDees !

[GIRO 63]

What number for viney ??

And to take the Cowboy's point a step further - get a number allocated before Christmas.

[dee-luded 2,959]

What number for viney ??

? ?

Loved Mitch Clark's tweet to JV

"Get the left foot ready bud haha want it hitting me on the [censored] next yr"

and Frawley's tweet

"JV "at pick 26. What a steal. Welcome to the Club big man"

James is not going anywhere. Suddenly cant wait for 2013.

[Dee*ceiving 1,674]

Col has 12 so probably not the go.

31 maybe. Or a different number and he can build his own legacy.

Maybe 3, if Barts retires/gets delisted.

So many options, so excited

[Pates 9,660]

Possibly 22? That or give him a high number and make him earn a promotion in number. Too often recently we've gift low numbers with history to kids, I'd be happier with them having to earn the right to the numbers with clout.

That said JV appears to be a gun with a great attitude so we may be ok with him!

[EDIT] Also, welcome to the Dees! Excited for 2013!

[stinga81 210]

23 or 1...

[dee-luded 2,959]

I thought the club handled this impeccably from start to finish. Plenty of posters around here should apologise for the nonsense they've flung at the club during this entire saga. Claims that the club have been incompetent have been rife in this thread and only served to prove the ignorance of the fools that posted them.

And you had given our Pick 3 away.

I'm sure all Dees supporters are relieved & grateful that we haven't so far been shafted over the father son pick.

When all other clubs get the Father/Sons at a discount rate, you were ready to cave in on Pick 3.

Whether we had no effect, or some effect, in the end GWS came thru with a working option that suited.

And now we are on to the rest of the trade/draft period.

[Red N Blue Society 165]

So....Jack Viney,Jack Fitzpatrick,Jack Trengove,Jack Watts,Jack Grimes!

The Jack Son Five!

Who likes it cmon..

[pantaloons 2,019]

Once the number is revealed I'll be heading down to the club to pick up a guernsey for my son. Great stuff for the MFC today. Our best day since landing Clark.

Even better was JV's reply:

@MitchClark11 @melbournefc haha no worries mate, tell me where you want it and ill deliver. Thanks mate

[Jordie_tackles 354]

Even better was JV's reply:

like x 1000000

[QueensBirthday 186]

Welcome to Mr Jack Viney!!!

Just SO bloody excited about this. Extremely well done by the Footy Dept,, and clearly not worth second guessing our powers-that-be.

I've heard some 20/20-hindsight on the radio from the jackle's foaming at the mouth for bad news for the MFC and after their initial gob-smacked reaction, they tried to sniff out a conspiracy and then... saying that Melbourne isn't a preferred destination. Just love smacking those people with a reality check that were lining up to have a go at us!!!

I feel like going on BF and just gloating for a week... FLAT OUT... lol

LOL!

Over at the GWS shop the "father/son special" gets you a lifetime complimentary pass to Smorgies, and a degenerative knee.

And that [censored] costs 6 million dollars.
