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.

...Adding to the appeal, O'Loughlin lauded Viney as one of the most outstanding young leaders and most professional to come through the system.

"He is an unbelievable kid," he said. "He might put a few noses out of joint because he expects a lot from himself and from others, but so be it because he is just a quality individual."

and that right there, to me is the reason why Viney is our number 1 priority, at whatever number. That is the culture changing aspect of his personality right there. He is the kind of guy that if you were professional and got the job done- he'd love you. If you were a clown he'd want to bury you.

This is a prototype of the Neeld player. And tomorrow is just another step in the process of him putting on a dees jumper and it is about the only thing that's kept me going over the last year or so, so it's fair to say that I can't wait for all this to be over and him to be on the list and showing our men how it's done.

It's a stupid deal and we should be ashamed if we stoop that low for such a marginal advantage. I won't believe we would do it.

It's a deal involving a player or a later pick, but if they want 4 for Caddy I would dob them in for draft tampering myself! Pricks!

I find it funny though that everyone thought GC were going to be nice about this a few weeks ago and noone thought they would bid.

This is what would happen:

GC and GWS don't nominate Daniher or Viney, and then we nominate Daniher. Essendon then takes him with Pick 10ish.

It's very unlikely that GWS and GC won't nominate Daniher.

The process is done, not by kid, but by pick: GWS can reel off all the kids they want to with Pick 1 if the club with the rights decides to take them:

GWS: Daniher!

Ess: Pick 11!

GWS: Viney!

Melb: Pick 3!

GWS: McDonald!

NM: Pick 15!

etc.

I think GWS can only nominate one F/S per round. Happy to be corrected but thunking I read that somewhere.

As I understand teams can nominate more than once following a rule change this year.

My understanding is they get a bid. If unsuccessful that bid can't be used again.

This is an attempt to thwart ambit bidding.

I think the MFC slipped up. In an article regarding Wellingham and Dawes trade they said that they wanted at least 1 live pick out of 3 & 4.

This is them saying "We will use pick 3 on Viney regardless but if we do , we wont trade for Wellingham and Dawes"

But did the MFC actually say that, or did the journalist say that. I am pretty sure it was the latter.

Lol I'd much rather just take Jack at 3 if it were to come to that.

Emma Quayle tweeting that GC will NOT bid on Jack.

Wasn't it Quayle who was certain they would bid a couple of days ago? Something must have happened... a deal perhaps?

Cale Morton looked great at similar levels.

Wash your mouth out, using Morton and Viney in the same sentence!

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had
