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.

    Seems not many fussed by this great news....

    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.

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
