He's certainly dropped down the rankings this year, he was looked at as being top 10 but now he will be speculative. "Deers" looks to have the reason why, he is a tall skinny kid. Viney will know a lot more about him and whether he is worth a later pick if available, certainly ticks boxes for us, speed and ball use but you do have to get it to use it.

I dont think he is that speculative, maybe somewhere in the second round, later second round ever

very talented athlete.

has been a very quick kid since day one, being very competitive in a state and national level in athletics in his younger years.

I don't know a lot about his footy, but I've been told he is good.

I think he would be worth it in the 2nd round and speculative is probably the wrong word, he has a lot of good attributes that could see him being a player. It's our history with tall skinny kids (apart from Flower) that muddies the waters.

At the start of season 2011 had someone told me we would pick up Viney, Toumpas and Haynes this draft I would have been happy with that.

BUMP

Matthew Haynes

Height: 189cm

Weight: 76kg

While personally I prefer Sam Colquhoun, on the chance that he's taken before our 1st rookie selection I reckon Haynes would be worth a look. Classy outside mid with line breaking ability. If he could commit to putting on some size in the gym he might be worth a punt in the rookie draft and after the 1st year we can make a call.

An incredible athlete but has been warned countlessly by his school coaches to harden up.

I think that's right - more an athlete than a footballer. But a good kid who'd pass on character. Can really run.

He goes to school with Jack Viney - so the club will know his strengths and weaknesses

I'd like to think the club would have an idea of his strengths and weaknesses, regardless of weather Viney went to school with him or not..... It would be a shame, if these decision were left to the opinion of new players.....

Does anybody know if the players not taken in the draft can be drafted in the psd? If they can then i hope he slips to us in the rookie draft.....

I would like to see us rookie him. Around this time last year I was wanting us to pick up Toumpas and Haynes in this draft. Haynes has slipped a bit this year but has a big upside. If he has the work ethic to go with his athleticism then he will make it.

We have Toumpas, lets get Haynes.

You are of course correct ......... but a father (Todd) watching a son and his mates play schoolboy footy over the years ( and attending a few B & Fs etc) should be in a better position to make an assessment of things like consistency and team orientation etc than a recruiter who's only seen him play a couple of representative games and interviewed him once...............

It certainly can't hurt 'hoopla'.

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    PREGAME: Rd 18 vs Essendon

    The Demons are back at the MCG once again and will once again be fighting for a spot in the Top 8 as they come face to face with Bombers on Saturday night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
