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.

    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

    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!

  • Quote

    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?

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
