WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - JACK VINEY

Featured Replies

I havnt seen this posted but havnt seen every post.

MELBOURNE has confirmed it would have used pick No.3 to secure outstanding young midfielder Jack Viney - if the Giants or Suns had have made a bid for him in Mondayโ€™s father/son meeting.

Awesome news re JV, and what made it sweet were the tweets as mentioned by others, leave spud Dawes at Collingwood, I don't want Collingwood discards and as if they would let the cream go. But back on topic, the next season for me will give the MFC a chance to draw a line under the 'tanking' years and become a fair dinkum club again.

Sounds like we are keeping picks 4 and 13 so we will end up with something like

In:

Mids - Wines, Kennedy, Viney

Forwards - Hogan, Dawes, Byrnes

Out:

Mids : Moloney, Bate, Martin

Forwards: Green, Lawrence, Petterd

Pretty good looking inclusions into the team.

Ten thousand times better line ups Ins vs Outs


Is Viney allowed to start training at the start of pre-season or does he actually need to wait until after he is drafted at the national draft?

Can't wait to see Viney run straight through old $cully bag$, and make him earn his coin for the day!

Viney on SEN 20 minutes time, roughly 530

Shwarta opening with he is Harder than his Dad,

MArk Allen nearly chokes, you must be kidding

Been training with us for a year or 2 already. Will still be on a slightly more restricted program than the senior players, as the young guys often over-train.

I was fortunate to cross paths with Lachlan Hunter's old man a few weeks ago and he indicated what is really the general consensus in the football industry, that is, that Jack is a tough as they come, hard at it and approximately another dozen adjectives (some of them colourful) along those lines describing how determined and hard he is on the field.

I have heard similar, mainly that he is the Hardest player to play U18's since Hodge or ever

Yeah, Harrington did confirm this afterwards.

(Would have used pick 3.)

I see no need to reveal this. Something along the lines of "we know where we ranked Jack, and he knows, so there is no need to go there" would have done.

Have a look at that. Jack and Jones in the middle next year will be great. I think Jones would be rapt to have another big body in there helping him.

The thing is I couldnt give 2 hoots scully left now. Look what we have got. I reckon Viney could sit him on his backside next year. Dont even care Moloney has quit. There is a much younger ready made replacement for him who can get the ball and isnt afraid of hard work. I reckon neeldy would love coaching him.


GOING TO SIGN MYSELF AND THE MISSUS UP FOR OUR FIRST MEMBERSHIPS AFTER THIS GREAT NEWS, HER FAVOURITE PLAYER IS TRENGOVE BECAUSE HE HAS 2 MOLES ON HIS FACE, MY FAVOURITE PLAYER IS VINEY BECAUSE HE IS MADE OF STEEL.

I'M ON CLOUD 9 RIGHT NOW.

Welcome aboard. Outstanding post.

2012 Draft will be everything 2009 wasn't.

This is one of those days when you're really happy to be a Melbourne supporter. We haven't had many the last few years, so I plan on enjoying it while it lasts. Welcome to the club Jack Viney and may you enjoy a long and successful career with us.

Hello fellow MFC tragics - long time reader of Demonland over the years - however as you can see my contributions have been sparse. Thought I might add my two bobs worth to the JV discussion - thought I might as well. This thread appears to be petering out somewhat don't you think??

If you can all indulge me for just one minute and please excuse what some might call the hyperbole that is going to follow here - make no mistake, today is a truly magnificent day in the life of our much beloved MFC. MFC supporters one and all should rejoice at how events transpired today. In my humble and certainly uneducated view, JV was worth every bit of Pick 3 - to grab him for Pick 26 is a steal. Will be viewed down the track as crime of the century I reckon - particularly if we use our 3 first rounders wisely and strike some gold there too.

All in all a great outcome for all of us (poor, long suffering, desperate for even a flicker of hope, light at the end of the tunnel, etc) who have been agonising over the JV matter (for years I suspect for some!!) and now we can all sit back, relax in the knowledge that we have JV in the bag - and 3 first round picks to play with in the upcoming trade/draft.

Yep - life is good today. Not that often we can feel this way as MFC supporters so we should all kick back and dream about what might be for next year and beyond - and perhaps some of us might even be tempted by a one or two of the activities mentioned in the attached link - hope it works ok, first attempt at linking!

The lyrics pretty much sum up how I've been feeling after hearing the glorious news as I was driving out to Cranbourne this morning to watch a horse I have a small interest in have his first official trial. Horse ran well and we snagged Jack for a second round pick - doesn't get much better than that!!

Enjoy!!

PS. How remiss of me - welcome to the MFC Jack Viney!!

Life Is Good Today.html

And you had given our Pick 3 away.

I would have done exactly what the club did and what it would have done had Jack been nominated, but you think I'm Todd Viney so I guess it was my call anyway, moron.

This is a very happy household. Welcome to Jack, thrilled to have him on board. Can't wait to see him next year....

ย 

It says something how many people have come out of the wood work to post about the JV recruitment, the club has obviously ticked a big box with it's supporters. I pay my membership every year thick or thin, in the knowledge I might only see one game every second year, but I have to admit, it will give me more pleasure paying for the family for 2013.

  • 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 Deearmyโ€™s inclusive bannerโ€”"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 Collingwoodโ€™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.ย

  • 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 forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” 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 Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™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 isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™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.
