Just wondering If anybody knows If Jack got the OK to play VFL this year? There are practice games for Casey and his TAC Cup side Oakleigh coming up and was wondering who he's actually playing for?

Yes I was told by Neeld that he will play a maximum of 16 games this year, being a combination of senior games with Casey, Oakleigh Chargers, U18 Champs and i think he said 2 games with Carey Grammar.

The MFC have organised a very strict schedule of trainning and games for him this year to develop him and to protect him against burn out.

Thanks Haydo

Will be interesting to see the break down of games, Hopefully he can play 6-8 games at Casey.

A close friend of mine (whom is connected to the MFC) has told me Jack Viney will be given the number #31 jumper next year. Its fair to say Jack will wear it with alot more respect than that "other guy"

Hahahaha.

As long as he is happy I dont care what number he gets.

It would be good for the kids with 31 for it to be going around as soon as possible

Don't give him that number. It's to be left vacant for at least a decade.

I am not going to run away from a number because some simpleton ran away from the club.

Give it to Viney or give it Tynan or give it to Comp pick number 2, but don't mothball it because of HWFUA.

I think we need to leave 31 alone for awhile..but que sera sera...

I agree WYL. It has gone from a superstition to a Claustrophobia for me.

Reckon 6, 14 and 28 will also be available for Jack next year.

I'd like to see the club introducing a tradition whereby the number 31 guernsey every year is awarded to our first draft pick. That way it would be rotated annually and once again come to be an honour associated with our greatest player and not the last holder of the guernsey.

Sylvia should step aside and give him #12. Like David Williams did for Jack's old man.

agree totally with that

if I was in Sylvia's position I would insist

Sylvia shouldn't feel any pressure whatsoever. Twelve is HIS number and should/can finish his career with the same distinction Todd left his. I feel and hope Jack has same attitude towards numbers as Gary Ablett jr did.

Really hope this is true.

Would love to see someone as red-and-blue as young Jack in #31.

That number has been a curse since Barrassi walked out on the club.

give him 23!!

Geez well let's hope jack doesn't walk out on the club like barassi and $cumbag

Unless he wants his Dad's number, then yeah, 31 it is... please...

Give him number 3, since Lyon finished no one with any cred has worn this number

Don't give him that number. It's to be left vacant for at least a decade.

Mothballs won't get rid of the skunks stench. But a ceremonial Burning may. Followed by a resurrecting of a fresh No 31, presented to the young Big 'V', Jack V.

I like the Idea For Todds son to get it. the skunk never had the heart to fill that jumper. I said Trengove was more like Barassi @ the Time. and is proving of the right stuff.

Let the young JV create his own number.

I like it. JV will be a loyal Demon and it would be great to rid ourselves of the recent bad connotations associated with #31.

That's a pretty disrespectful thing to say to the guy who currently wears it. I'd also say Clint Biz had cred.

Agreed, especially since he has recently been promoted to the leadership group. I'm a Bartram fan and think he's an undeserving whipping boy.

Ok, I stupidly thought it would be a positive omen to get #31 on the fantastic new jumpers brought out at the beginning of the 2011 season.

For reasons of pride, economy, and sheer want to wear the jumper - I definitely hope this report is accurate!
