Would love to see him on the track in red and blue next year, and on the paddock the next :)

I'd love to see him playing for Casey next Year. In the VFL seniors. Let alone this Year?

    I can't believe he was born in April 1994. My first semester at Uni. Geez I am starting to feel old. Wonder who we beat in July 1993 to get Todd up??

    Perhaps it was Round 17 Sat 24 Jul-Melbourne 110 Defeated Western Bulldogs 97 T. Viney 32 possessions.

    From the bigfooty boards discussing the under 18 champs trials, these guys generally know some good stuff about the juniors so heres the small part on viney:

    "Viney worth a mention too, for the dees supporters. Good little hard nut, nice skills by foot when he gets outside. Slightly outmuscled a time or two, to be expected considering he's playing against bigger and older blokes, but tracking really well for an underager."

    reply:

    "Outmuscled? I believe he nearly killed a kid with one of the best blocks I have ever seen at a level under the elite.."

    Jack didn't play in the Vic Metro Vs. NSW/ACT game on Saturday at BOP due to a rotation policy for the Division 2 matches.

    Pretty sure he will be lining up at Visy on Saturday Vs. Qld.

    I just hope he can build a good relationship with young Patton & can develop a habit of hitting him on the chest with 40-50m bullet passes and keep that relationship going for 10-12 years. :):rolleyes:

    Yep, if we lose anyone of Importance to GWS, lets hope we get their No1 pick + some!!!

    Is he eligible for drafting this year?

    No. Next year.

    GWS can trade 4 underage players. We might offer our first round pick this year to get him a year early. He wouldn't be able to play for us, but we would be able to get him to train with us and hopefully get him to play with Casey.

    Also would allow us to keep our first round pick next year when the draft isn't compromised.

    Hope he can hit a target when he gets it .

    Bailey was good on SEN this morning. Was perhaps a little more animated than usual. Suggested to Dermie that some of the forwards had made good use of the ice bath after the game and when questioned about game plans and pressing, came up with a few examples of times where we'd pressed effectively.

    I wonder, and hope, if Bailey and co. are looking to the 'post-press' era and trying to think of the next game plan? I'd welcome any thoughts on what that might be. I think we might have seen glimpses of something that could beat a good press last night - move the ball quickly and preferably by foot, to one-on-one's if necessary, backing our player to be better than his opponent (like Watts' mark in the goal square), and always playing the percentages - punching from behind whether forward or back, kicking long to the boundary line when options have dried up, hard running for four quarters...

    The more I think about it, the more I wonder whether or not I have seen a better footy team than the Essendon 2000 team. They were rough bastards, they led and ran like maniacs, and their position kicking and marking in front of their faces at speed was great.

    Clean up the skills, get some games into the younger players and we'll squash the press.

    That would be a monumental waste of a high value pick, when we can wait a year and get him as a father-son for a pick worth a lot less.

    It's not like we'd be missing out on having him for a year in his prime.

    Depends on where you think our first round pick will fall this year and next.

    Say we finish 9-10 this year. With all the GWS draft concessions this year that would equate roughly to pick 15-16 at the earliest.

    In an uncompromised draft the following year, banking on finishing somewhere around 6-8 that would equate to the first pick being somewhere around 11-13.

    A few positions can be a big difference in a draft.

    So not a monumental waste at all, given that GWS will have already severley drained this years talent pool of both 17 year olds and the glut of early picks. It is more likely that the talent pool will be larger in 2012 thus making it a smarter decision to offload this years first round pick rather than next years...

    Lets look at it from a GWS point of view. This year they get something .... next year the get nothing.

    Think we are in the driving seat here. Suggest we should start much, much lower than our first round pick.

    I'm thinking more like a 3rd rounder ... :)

    A week or two ago the Herald Sun reported we would get around pick 17 on current ladder position for scully if he was to go, not exactly No 1 pick.

    I'd trade our 1st round pick this year for an underage pick, and then still select Jack Viney next year.

    The underage pick is worth more than our 1st round pick in either year, just as Viney will be (if reports are accurate).

    That's why I wouldn't use it on him.

    Schwab and Bails orchestrated next years draft from the time the tigers kicked the goal gave us another no1. We've got a full deck and Newton , Dunn etc need to fight to stay.Any player worth having wants to win a flag so we are sweet .

    Viney will be our Joel Selwood. Gun kid who comes straight into a premiership winning side. B)

    Lets not get carried away. He didnt even play for SA in their first game. Rotation schmotation, if you were in the top dozen players you'd be playing. Give him time

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      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?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
