I must say that a small part of me will lol if Jack Viney turns out to be a dud AFL footballer. But most of me will just cry and become addicted to Valium.

It will finally all be over one way or the other. The bandwidth savings alone will be astronomical. Helleluljah. For the sanity of the vast majority of Demonlanders this time cannot come quick eno

Viney is a competitive beast in the Selwood, J.Lewis, Hodge mode. In fact I've heard some describe him as the most ferocious young player to ever come through the system. The kind of player that is fi

The AGE reporting that Port nomited both Daniher AND VIney with its pick 7 in order to force Ess and Melb to use their picks 10 and 26 to secure their F/S players.

I thought multiple bidding was outlawed to stop exactly this kind of thing?

ANYONE CONFIRM WHAT THE SITUATION IS?? (oops sorry bout the caps)

Bids are still done one at a time though. Port would have bid #7 for Daniher, followed immediately by Essendon's response to take him as F/S. Port are then able to re-bid #7 on Viney.

So Port effectively stymied each clubs chance of getting a F/S for the 3rd round. Doesn't seem right to me.

I suspect clubs will remember that.

I still think other football clubs wouldn't have let Viney slip for a third round pick

seems like a long time since we as a club have had something so fantastic happen. As I said a few days ago, this really could be a turning point for us - particularly if some other rumoured trades come up. We could be looking at 6 or 7 changes to our starting line up. Well done MFC for whatever you did to get this right. This, along with snaring Clark last year, are out of character for the 'loser' club - and I like it very much.

Talk of pick 3 for 2nd pick in mini draft... Who would trump us if we offered pick 4? Ourselves?

Yeah right.

So GWS get 1, 2 & 4

Melbourne get 3

So you reckon GWS will give up the supposed 3rd best player, so that their good mates at Melbourne can grab him.

YEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSS!

Viney with 26, awesome, Rivers may stay, awesome! This is one of the best days being a demons supporter recently, a little sad, but great nonetheless!!!!!!!!!!

If any deal was done Melbourne could easily deny it, after all what can GC do? Its outside the laws of the game if they did a deal, so there's no way they could claim it if Melbourne denied it. No-one would have been dumb enough to sign anything, so, it never happened, give GC nothing. Too risky for both clubs, either it didn't happen, or one or both clubs will claim it didn't happen, or nothing will come of it.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
