WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - JACK VINEY

Featured Replies

So it is common knowledge we are going to take him, he already has a contract with us, by all reports he is ready for AFL now.. why the hell do we have to wait for next season to be over before he gets a game?

I mean he's on the payroll already.. what's with these stupid rules?

 

Interestingly in an article by Sam Landsberger in todays Sun, the last paragraph stated "Viney is not eligible to be drafted until next year, but has committed to a three year deal with the Dees under the father son rule from 2013.

Which perhaps could be correlated with the five year deal mentioned in the Age as being for this year and next in development and then three years on our main list.

Yeah, that's what we assumed.

I would say the two 'lead-up' years would involve us paying for sessions with bio-mechanic experts (money we wasted on he-who-cannot-be-named) and physio work etc.

Really looking forward to Rd 1, 2013.

They changed the rules for the year after Jack Watts was drafted to say that players had to be older. Think they have to turn 18 the year they are drafted now (previously was only 17 I believe)

They pushed the draft age forward by 4 months, which allowed a bigger pool for GC last year.

Just saw a 20 second grab of Jack on Talking Footy!

WOW!!

He does look like a more aggressive Mitchell... I am so looking forward to this guy!!

How quick and hard was he?!


Yes we were and no you shouldn't.

I am, however, waiting for all those like RR who seem to have a policy of not recruiting ready made players who will be as good as they will ever be in their first year and preferring to recruit players that have a minimum of 4 years before they produce what other kids do in their first game, to provide some comment.

Although i am very much in the RR corner when it comes to recruiting RF, in that i want the best player regardless of how they are now blah blah,

i do really like how much you play people with the ready made lines, seems to always catch someone, wish i had this type of bait when i went fishing this arvo

If you have an opinion that differs from the clique on here you get hammered, so I like to return the ball over the net at times. Jack Viney is a classic example of a player that some on here would say we don't need because he's as good as he will ever be, and if he wasn't already ours they would be calling him another Darling, Rich or Palmer.

I'm over the moon, he's ours and I reckon he will be a beauty.

Enjoy your fishing? Jordie Tackles; interesting name for a fisherman.

The clique?

A think there are a few of those...

Are you in one of them?

 

I'm over the moon, he's ours and I reckon he will be a beauty.

As am I.

Love to know something about this clique you speak of.

It's a secret, only those in it know it exists. You and rpcf obviously aren't members.


You know .... 'them'.

Those people that don't agree with him.

Those people that will argue against him when he says something that they don't agree with.

You know .... 'the clique'.

Tha's it Bob, you finally got something right.

Did they make Steve Guttenberg a star?

Do they keep the martians under wraps?

Do they keep the metric system down?

Ah right.... Those that have an alternate view to someone's view. So this is the 'clique'.

When I disagree with my wife, me, myself and I am the 'clique'. And so is she, herself and her. Fascinating.

Paranoia gone mad.


Can't wait for Viney to arrive but tell me this. Does anyone see a problem with Jones, Mckenzie, Moloney and Viney all playing In the side? A little one dimensional? All of them love the hard ball but how many of those sorts can a team play In the one side.. Maybe add Gysberts also.

Thats like saying Joel Corey, Cameron Ling, Joel Sellwood, James Kelly cant all play in the same side...Maybe add Jimmy Bartel in too

Exactly. Bunch of hacks.

Did you see Hodge, Lewis, Mitchell and Sewell going around for the Hawks the other night? Honestly don't think it's a problem at all. In fact, bring it on!

This thread should be on the main page. Because he is already a Demon. Just a thought..


Be that as it may, the chances of Viney coming to us are as sure as the Sun rising in the morning. The drafting process for him is merely a formality..

I'm ust thinking ease of access for the Demonland members.

Hmmn, Tiny Tim Watson was playing @ 16 Yrs.

  • 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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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.
