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.

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.

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!!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Even better was JV's reply:

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

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

Very clever - already got JV shop offers! https://shopdesq.img...7953&OrgID=1749

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.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    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
