Far from a certainty, but I see the Suns have applied for Jaeger O'Meara to be allowed to play in the NAB Cup and NAB Challenge.

If he is allowed, surely the same would go for Viney.

The Suns are confident after the league set a precedent last year by allowing GWS to field players in the same situation.

From the sounds of things, he's managing some OP anyway, so could not be included even if eligible...

Sorry, don't have a link, but the article was in the Sunday mail.

i think viney is being managed carefully with OP so i doubt they will rush him on

True, but a brief taste at this stage could be invaluable for his development.

Then again, I'm not sure he needs a taste so he can adjust to the physicality...

But hypothetically, if he was fit would he be able to play?

I doubt it. Unlike GWS and GC we aren't going to see that level of generosity.

I don't know why you'd make such a comment.

What is the difference between O'Meara with the Suns, and Viney with us?

Also Crouch at Adelaide and Daniher at Essendon for that matter?

If one is allowed, it would be mind boggling to deny another in the same situation.

Hypothetically .....

... if O'Meara is allowed, it doesn't necessarily mean Viney should. O'Meara and Crouch have already been selected through trades. We haven't selected Viney, we just said that we will. We haven't spent anything on him yet, just like GC with Swallow last year.

Edit- Exactly the same as what SM said. Sorry, I'm blind!

Mis-leading heading. Change it. There is nothing to see here, move along!

Please explain how it is you find it misleading?

Not sure it could have been much clearer...

Difference is they've already drafted JOM and we've only committed to drafting J.V so it couldn't happen.

I see the point of difference, but I wouldn't go as far as to say it couldn't happen.

Even if we were allowed, why would we want to? The kid's 17(?) we've got enough young players (and older ones) who need to use the NAB to get miles in their legs.

Yep, I thought that too, but I'd think the same of the Suns.

I really think the football dept would agree with you on this.

But it's a faint possibility!

Is O'Meara technically on Gold Coast's list?

They hold the rights to him, but I'd have thought if he were on their list, he could be selected.

Oh Lutz

O'Meara was drafted by GC, as was Crouch to the AFC. Viney has a contract with the MFC and will be drafted. Its a big difference. Viney is not allowed to play the NAB as your heading implies. Fix it pls.

I can't imagine a NAB cup game would do anything outstanding for Viney's development. I'm glad he gets to play VFL which is just as good as a crappy Nab Challenge game. Let's have a look at the list an pick the best side so we can win round 1.

Even if he was on our list, your forgetting about the Judd Rule...

I'd say no. He isn't even on our list. So there may be insurance issues should he get injured.

Also, not sure we would want him to play. I'm fairly sure we'd want as many players to get as much match fitness for the upcoming season as opposed to Viney who can't pull on the jumper this season.

But thats only my opinion.

Crazy idea imo. Why risk anything to gain nothing? JV's time will come soon enough, when his body is better prepared.

Maybe he'll play in the intra club match?

There ya go, if he's not managing injury, and covered for insurance which I reckon the club would have for all.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.
