    Wow. What a write up by Micky O loughlin. Viney is going to be a superstar. I'm excited.

    Read the article ladies and gentlemen.

    Enjoy

    ...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.

    I could stomach Harley Bennell for pick 4.

    I think everyone would!

    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!

    Who looked better when they were 18?

    Garry Ablett Junior or Viney?

    Just for the record guys & girls: -

    Emma Quayle ‏@emmasq Melbourne fans I believe your wildest dreams are about to come true. Gold Coast won't bid No. 2 for Viney

    I have a feeling a fringe player will be heading up to GC for not much today.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
