    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!

    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.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
