According to a tweet by a Melbourne player (deleted name as it doesn't appear to be public yet).

If so well done.

Long overdue.

    Well earned.

    Gotta feel for him having dreamed of playing for the MFC and walking into this third world [censored] storm. But he seems as well equipped as anyone to help steer the way out. It is both an indictment on the club and a credit to him that a first year player can easily be in the club's top 3-4 players, not just in terms of potential but contribution on the field as well.

    All those kids with number 4 on the back should be trading them in for a number 7. If there is any future to this club, he's it.

    Will be when confirmed, so many rumours involving the Dees just never pan out.

    I'm still convinced Brodie Grundy has/will get it this week, and will only believe it when I see it on afl.com.au.

    I said at the time he was the biggest steal of the draft, certainly looks the player.

    obviously WE got the biggest steal of the draft

    Hopefully two steals Viney and Hogan

    We need about 5-6 more.

    There is an article on the AFL site that puts together an All Austrslian u23 side. For a team that has attempted to rebuild through the draft with young players it is an tragedy that we did not have one player in there.

    Hopefully this years crop will start to turn it around. Viney is unlike anything we drafted under BP.

    Viney, Toumpas, Terlich and Matt Jones

    a pretty solid 2012 draft!

    kent will be a great onballer for us when he gets some endurance

    I'm glad. Hope its not perceived as charity because he earned it.

    Confirmed in a tweet from Patrick Keene this morning...

    @AFL_PKeane: Melbourne's jack Viney is the round 21 #nabaflrisingstar after a team-high 28 possessions in Sunday's loss to the Dockers,1 goal & 5 tackles

    @AFL_PKeane: Viney, recruited under the father-son rule, has played 11 games in his debut season, averaging 18 touches per game.

    Well done Jack.

    It was lovely to wake up to hear the Viney rising star nomination on this morning's radio news! This is the start of a stellar career for Viney and I predict a Brownlow Medal will follow in five years, as Ablett's star fades!

    This quote from Jack in that interview really stood out for me:

    "As the year goes on you can go one of two ways. You can either sook about it and give up, or you keep fighting. For me it's an obvious answer."

    I just wish it was such an "obvious answer" for many of your team mates Jack!

    Jack just continues to impress, impossible not to love this guy.

    Very well deserved nomination and well overdue.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
