This poll is as useful as a dick with a knot in it.

We will take Viney, wherever we have to, and he is exactly what we need, whether some of you flogs realise it, or not.

What tree have you been living in ben?

Prophylactics with lots of "knots" in them have been doing a roaring trade for years LOL

    Only GWS and GC can force us to use Pick 3 on Viney.

    The team that nominates a father son selection has to use its next pick in the draft after the pick bid by another club.

    From what I've read GWS and GC are unlikely to do so.

    Thanks for the clarification.

    Yepp prettymuch what everyone's been talking about for six months now...

    Hellsgate reckons that he has heard that there is a possibility we wont take Viney. Not what ive heard from a club source and time will tell. But could you imagine us picking another player over him who fails while he rips it up for GWS - the embarrassment...

    No for two reasons.

    One being that I don't think we'll have to given I reckon that stuff will be sorted out behind closed doors between Melbourne, GC & GWS.

    And two and most importantly because it will send a huge message to the rest of the competition that MFC are not going to be dictated to by anyone. Everyone knows that Whitfield & Grundy are the two best players in the draft, so if GWS or GC wanted to play Russian Roulette and nominate Viney we should look them in the eye and simply say PASS. They are then left with a very good player, but not one who's rated in the top 3 in the draft when they have Picks 1 & 2. Those clubs would then have to answer for why a Whitfield, Gundy or a Toumpas has been let go purely to try and one up a battling club near the bottom of the ladder.

    As I've mentioned in another thread, I reckon a deal will be struck between the 3 clubs that will see a win, win, win.

    GWS to end up with picks 1,2 & 3 and take Whitfield, Grundy & Toumpas

    GC trade Pick 2 to GWS for MD Pick 1 (Jack Martin who will be an absolute jet!)

    Melbourne trade Pick 3 to GWS for MD Pick 2 (Jesse Hogan) allowing us to take Viney in the 2nd round and holding onto Pick 4.

    If we make this deal we should double cross GWS after the FS bidding process. Pick 4 should be the only pick on the table for the mini-draft.

    I think something will be worked out via the mini draft, its been suggested GC are into Martin and has

    been the whisper all year, so that opens things up for us if we'd like to go down the mini draft route.

    GWS will want our pick 3, they can exploit the situation we are in with Viney and we can benefit by them doing so.

    Its a win/win.

  • Quote

    I'm a Dees and Suns member and go to all the Suns home games and the Suns need and will select Grundy at pick 2,they need a ruckman that can go forward and kick goals rather than Martin,who they have a few of that type.Sam Day,Tom Lynch are still very slight and Grundy is ready made.

    Round 1 will also see the debut of Jaeger O'Meara who will complement Ablett,Bennell,Swallow,Harmichael,Caddy (who will stay)

    Pick 2 will be Brody Grundy.

    We could, but it may put a lot of clubs off dealing with us in the future if we were to do this.

    I'm still 50/50 on it. I wont be suprised either way. If we were to pass I reckon it would say a lot of the new regime.

    Mate, Jack Viney is the player that typifies this new regime and has exactly the kind of qualities Neeld is trying to instill into the rest of the list. It would be madness passing on Viney and they won't do it.

    Jimmy Toumpas is also that type of player, just faster and taller.

    Nowhere near as ferocious at the contest though, and is actually more of an outside runner than an inside wrecking ball. If we were to use pick 3 on Viney, Toumpas would be great at pick 4.

    Yes but Hogan is as ferocious, and taller and a KPF

    We are talking about the player we will miss out on if we take Viney at 3, whether it be Toumpas or Hogan

    What combo would you prefer

    Viney + Toumpas

    Viney + Hogan

    Toumpas + Hogan

    I rate the combo in this order

    1. Toumpas + Hogan

    2. Viney + Toumpas

    3. Viney + Hogan

  • Quote

    If we were to make a deal I'd like us to use pick 4 for MD pick 2. If it's going to cost pick 3 it's overs I think, especially seeing as we have to wait another year for Hogan to even debut. Seeing as our midfield is a pile of dog poop, my preferred would be Viney and Toumpas with Stringer/Kennedy at 13. If a move is made on Hogan I'd like Viney, Hogan (pick 4) and O'Rourke/Kennedy/Stringer at 13.

    I don't disagree with you in regards to the type of player Viney is and the fact we need those types of players.

    I reckon end of the day the question that the club will ask itself is who would we prefer, Viney or Grundy?

    And can we get a similar player to Viney later on in the draft? eg. Vlastuin at Pick 13.

    I'm not saying we will pass, I'm just saying I wouldn't be suprised if we did.

    Surely if GWS or GC wanted to play russian roulette we could say "Tampering" rather than "Pass".

    Could we ask AFL to investigate why either of these clubs would compromise their lists for a lower ranked player?

    As an attempt at humour why are they interested in Jamar anyway????

    No use having a kph if you can't even get it out of the centre

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
