WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - JACK VINEY

Featured Replies

So if he can't play (only train and be around the club)why waste a highish pick or player to get him. He will be able to be around the club running around with his u18 side anyway....

We could throw Bate and Dunn at them for him and it saves us a first round draft pick at the end of 2012 (which he probably will cost us regardless of father-son right now)

Hence we could actually trade for one of those picks under the guise of taking Viney, then pinch another gun like O'Meara (seeing as we could still secure Viney F/S).

I imagine if we operated unde the premise of taking Viney and not weakening the following draft pool, GWS would trade a pick to us more cheaply (Bate, Dunn - who are both under contract for 2012, so can't be taken by GWS as an uncontracted player until next year).

Possibly.

We have to nominate to GWS who we're taking with it. Only issue with that is O'Meara has said he wants to stay in WA.

 

Do we though?

I don't think we do.

If we did then we'd be trading for the rights to a player, not for a pick in a 'mini-draft'.

The process is still vague and inconclusive.

Although, immediately after posting I realised a flaw in that plan, assuming it is a pick you trade for, not the player.

The players would presumably have to make themselves available for the mini-draft prior to the trading of picks in trade week.

Presumably there'd also be penalties for players nominating for the mini-draft then not going to that team, just as with the National Draft.

So for that ploy to work, you'd need to have Jack Viney nominate, making himself vulnerable to poaching, and then pray to god another team with a similar pick doesn't take him.

In fact, even if we were to aim to take him, we'd have to be sure another team wouldn't have a pick before us, and wouldn't then snaffle him as he was exposed by the system.

Much safer to just wait it out & secure him via the F/S route.

That's the thing. The whole situation is so vague. It's probably going to work best on certain players in my opinion. Guys who want to stay in their state for example, such as O'Meara, or guys like Viney who will simply be a F/S anyway. Remember, GWS are almost certainly going to have the #1 pick for the 2013 Draft as well (although I'm not sure whether the priority pick rule comes back in for 2013, and if so Gold Coast could be eligible?) and will thus be lining up the top talent for THAT draft as well. They'll be looking at those that they can genuinely get, rather than those (such as Viney) who won't be going their way.

I'm anticipating Freo trading with GWS for one of those picks for O'Meara.

Easy win to Metro. Jack had just the 12 possessions and kicked 1.2.

A reasonable effort but the star was Jonathon Patton the big key forward who kicked 5.2 and took some strong marks.

If we lose you know who, we should make an all out effort for the first pick in the draft as compensation which would only be fair.

 

Finished with 12 possessions, 4 tackles, Kicked 1.2

6 contested possessions (6 uncontested)

2 clearances

1 i50

1 R50

67% disposal efficiency

Patton ended up with 5 goals.

Did Chad Wingard get injured?

I've seen him talked about as one of the top 3 picks in the draft, but he only had 3 touches.


From what I read yesterday the mini draft works by the AFL sending out a list of kids that are eligible who then nominate whether or not they want the chance to go into this mioni draft. Once the list is finalised the clubs are given the list. The picks are obviously 1,2,3,4 which is then up to us to sort out a deal with GWS to get one of those picks and it is up to them to decide what pick we get for our offer. Not all four picks have to be used this year as long as all four are gone by the end of the same period next year

They might say he's top 3 because he only gets 3 touches...but their all tops...

Any idea what his Time-on-Ground was Jack?

Maybe he didn't play much time


Did Chad Wingard get injured?

I've seen him talked about as one of the top 3 picks in the draft, but he only had 3 touches.

They just spoke to Peter Rhode (PAFC) on FiveAA and were talking about Chad... Our man Jack tackled him in the first qtr and he never recovered... Apparently Jack tackled him, pack developed, all got up except Chad.

Yes he did. Happened before quarter time - seemed concussed. Didn't return. When Jack hits them, they do not get up. Viney will make the All Australian Under 18 team IMO.

So he will miss 3 weeks after every game for tackling :)

Don't worry about missing a ew matches..just look forward to a little tank coming our way...


Dont speak to soon guys. Jack has been reported for the tackle your talking about. Fronts the U18 tribunal on Monday. Would be a shame if we didn't get to see him on Foxtel Wednesday!

Roost it reported hearing the same information that Tom was looking at possibly moving to a Melbourne based Club. I would rather see him go to GWS than to Collingwood.

Hmmmn, & where did the Scully to GWS rumour start, I seem to have forgotten who started it.

 

Correct. On Emma Quayle's Twitter:

Aarrrgh! I was hoping to see him in E'd's hat, on Wednesday.

Good luck JV.

I've got a sponsor for him already lined up, any sailors out there?

JVMARINE

I've tweeted Emma Quayle to find out if there's a result on Jack Viney's tribunal appearance (result to be posted when available).

All I can say is that these Prince Alfred College boys had a big weekend.

• Jack Trengove one of our best v Bulldogs but his tackle on Ward created controversy;

• Luke Tapscott one of Casey's best v Werribee and KO's their captain in a clash of heads (accidental) a minute into the game. Gets up rubbing his head but goes on to play a fine game;

• Jack Viney one of Vic Metro's best v SA and KO's their captain as a result of a tackle. Fronts tribunal; and

• Luke Saville wins junior boys title at Wimbledon. Nobody hurt physically at all.

Not bad.

  • 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.
