WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - JACK VINEY

Featured Replies

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 ,

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!


We need Viney/Toumpas, Viney/Wines, Viney/Hogan or similar

not Viney/ Dawes FFS

Edit: Pick 3 & 4 that is

I'm really happy with Viney/Dawes with Pick 26 & 30 something

Edited by Roger Mellie

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.

.......

Viney for 3 is fair, if we get him at 26 it is massive 'unders' for us.

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.

General, thats what its all going to come down to in the end, isnt it

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.

Liked and lol'd

No seriously Jaded, your thoughts ! Lmao

The dream

Pick 3 - Grundy

Pick 4 - wines

Pick 13 - garlett

Pick 26 - Viney

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

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?

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
