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 know you accidentally posted this twice H_T.... but if true, I have no problems with you posting it again! :D

Done a deal?

Ohh shhiiiiit get the tissues

Hutchy saying Melbourne have done a deal to get Viney at 26

Any details of the the deal may be or is he just talking out of his a$$

Big allegation to make - draft tampering...

woooooooooo

JACK VINEY IS OFFICIALLY A MELBOURNE PLAYERR!!!!!!!!!!!

WOOOOOOOO

source: Melbournefc.com.au

We have him as per the Melbourne Website but at what pick?

26

Pick 26 robbieF

The words epic win have never been more appropriate.

And I take back my hatred for GC. Carry on.

Welcome Jack! In the words of one infamous poster, we have been KOTD!

Thank God

Now the kid will never have to wear

" he has never lived up to a no.3 pick, look who we could have got with 3"

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.

Pick 26 robbieF

I hope you make many more posts Wilbur!

Excellent result. Well played MFC. Now we can resume wringing our hand in desperation over the Dawes Wellingham "NOT SO SUPER TRADE".

I came.

It seems to me that MFC deliberately left out the pick they used for Viney in their press release because they were going to take him pick 3 if they had to.

Fair play. Will be interesting to see if anything happens via trades with GC over the next couple of weeks. If it was simply a case of doubt cast over whether we would take him or not, then you have to take your hats off to the club for handling it so well. Wasn't 100% sure where those comments by Jack a couple of days back fitted in with the plan, but hey, who gives a [censored] now. A huge win, unless there is some sort of ridiculous trade to GC in the next 2 weeks.

So we are going to use pick 4 on Caddy, hope not true!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can you copy and paste the actual article for the people who don't have an account?

Copy and past e the header into google. You can usually get the article for free there..

Just remember: he's not the messiah.

But I won't mind if he does a very good impersonation.

Agree with you. Let him make his own mark.

Welcome Jack and well done MFC! Best news in a very dismal year, and hopefully signifies the start of a long term change of luck for the Dees.

That right, but wouldn't it have been easier just to write two versions each with the different pick we got him for

The club said in one of the articles after the picks that they would have taken Viney at 3 if required. Great to have him at the club and he'll become part of the heart of the club in the near future if all the reports are true. PLus he'll be first picked in my dreamteam for 2013...

Yeah, Harrington did confirm this afterwards. Should have just waited for that article! Good to know though

Great outcome Dees.

Firmly believed all along that GCS wouldn't take him at pick 2.

There are others there that appeal better pick 2 to 7

Just think of Toumpas, Grundy, O'Rourke, Wines

I'm salivating already.

I'll have to log off and take a nice nap.
