Emma is quite a reliable source, it is a worry that he has a 2nd interview, means that the first one wasn't a right off :-(

Refer to my post again.

It's nothing personal against you it's just getting tiresome to sift through the [censored] here, making Demonland almost impossible to read.

Not just "almost".

speculate - to believe especially on uncertain or tentative grounds

What am I believing here? This is more of suggesting an example....not speculation.

Sorry, that definition doesn't change anything. (and is one of many definitions btw) You are speculating when you say "For all we know we could be offering...." Tell me how is it that this isn't a speculative comment.

If i were speculating I would have worded it as 'Apparently we are in talks to trade Petterd for GC's 5th round pick'

Grow up and read things properly before making such a hypocritical post.

Thats not speculation either. Thats rumour mongering, trolling etc if you worded it that way. Speculation is about conjectural thought. i.e your opinion.

... and before you go off half cocked again, I am not accusing you of trolling either. *sigh*

I still think its more of an example but I am happy to agree to disagree to the meaning of the word. Lets keep this thread about Viney.

That said my point was that yes we will probably take him at #3 though I wouldn't say it is 100% chance. If we take him at #3 I will have the confidence that he was worth it. If we don't then their would be an obvious reason why and I am sure we will find out that reason come draft day.

You have heard that or that's what you think? As I am pretty sure MFC released a statement saying we will take the best available players at #3 be it Viney or not.

Source?

I have heard from TWO club sources, one who is involved in recruiting and who said he could bet his house on it - We will take Viney at pick 3 if we have to - Even Cam Schwab has unofficially said so.

Did any one Just Hear Tim Harrington on trade week radio??

Almost certain if GC bid for Viney we will let him go to the suns.

Yep i just heard that too, also suggested that when it comes to it Viney would want to walk straight back after 2 years. no questions.

Hutchy, Wallcae ect everyone suggested we would not take him if push came to shove, Viney snr saying Jack is not top 3 in this draft previously.

Interesting

I did hear that although I truly believe we are just saying that as to make it look like we won't be panicked into making a decision. We are calling their bluff however if it does come down to it we will select Viney. Simple as that, GC are bluffing us and we are bluffing them right back.

Mark Neeld said so in an interview, was from Melbournefc.com.au

Still interesting that so many neutral sources believe he is not top 3 and that we will pick best available.

Knowing he is 99% likely to come home, for a pick combination better than 3 even if we mus trade for him.

I hope GC believed that as well, then it would have worked.

I would love to know what a tough club like Collingwood would do in our situation? I think they would play hard ball and do exactly what we are doing. Unlike some on here that think we should just declare our hand now, madness!!!

This is the real world, we gotta be tough and be pricks to make sure we set ourselves up. Its life!!! We would be laughing stock otherwise...

I heard that interview too.

What do you want us to say?

You would want him to say exactly what he said.

from that interview i got the feeling we have him in the bag....Suns won't go for him

anyway from TAnning Terry...

  Do the Suns risk pick 2 & call the Demons bluff on Viney ? I think not.

I think the more important point is that everyone else on the radio suggested we would not pursue Viney as there are better players to pick. that points was very solid.

STFU

stfu ? anything else to add or did you have a fit whilst using the keyboard ?

I've listened to the interview and he said nothing of the sort. He said we'd take him if we thought he was the best available at pick 3 and it depended what would be available at the first live pick, which would be pick 2.

Report what you hear, not what you think someone means.

And fwiw, I have zero doubt we'll take him.

Melbourne's "we won't over-rate Jack Viney" has a hint of West Coast's "Jack Darling is a liability" about it.

Yeah I liked that, hopefully we make a stand.

If you get a chance there is an interview with Kevin sheanan on dee tv, there is no question viney will be at Melbourne, he is the exact player we want

GC will bid for viney, cause they are still [censored] at us in letting go of Scully.

Doh meant GWS [censored] at us for letting them have scully...
