Ridiculous Jack Viney rumour

that's the BS part. 'Family reasons' is another example of this. Nobody is honest about it because it seems tasteless to openly state you are selling out.  It's money, always money, and it trumps everything. Which is why the notion of anybody leaving us is never 'ridiculous'

No doubt money was a big factor in his move.  Nobody would deny that.

But the circumstances of his move were much different.  Ablett had already won a flag and a Brownlow at Geelong.  He had already established himself as the best player in the competition.

Then GC came calling.  He felt that he had achieved plenty for Geelong and the opportunity to be the face of a brand new franchise, by being it's first captain, and make a truckload of cash was too good to turn down.  Money was a large part of the move, but not all of it, and his desire to move on from Geelong was very different as well.

For Viney, a lifelong Demon supporter, to move on now is 'ridiculous' to me and many other posters.  He bleeds for the jumper and wants to bring sustained success to the club he loves.  He won't go anywhere.

 

Damien Barrett comes with a lot of Bull about Melbourne Football Club every year. He clearly hates us he doesn't forgive us for the tanking fiasco even though we were not charged for tanking and even though other teams tanled worse than us in the bust. He clearly has bee bludging in the off season and needs a scoop to start the year off. Last year he came up with Heretier Lubumba incident from a few years earlier when he was at Collingwood where he asked if he could be excused if he tests positive to marijuana because he hang around friends who took it but he didn't. He clearly hates Melbourne Football Club.

Not only that, he moved up north to be the face of a brand new football club.

Not only ... he'd won two premierships and a Brownlow at Geelong.

There was also a rumour once, equally ridiculous, that Damien Barrett was a top journalist.  

Never heard that one.

 


Just to clarify. Barrett got the scoop from Judds grandma.......:rolleyes:

don't soil yourself :lol:

Trash rumour, as can be expected from The Purple Headed Warrior.

The only reason Jack Viney would head over to Port Adelaide would be to physically drag Ollie Wines back to Melbourne and force him into an MFC jumper.

A big part of Ablett leaving was his falling out with Bomber.

Just now, Roger Mellie said:

Yep, that too.

I guess the point I'm trying to make is that comparing Ablett leaving for GC was over vastly different circumstances than others, and is not a good comparison to be using for someone like Viney (who, for that matter, is going nowhere).

When did Purple say this? 

 

 

 

Must've been hard for purple to write this rubbish with only one hand free

You are correct.

The crux of it is here.

"...The funny thing is, that I have heard from a mate that would know - that Jack Vineys manager has been in close contact with the club about coming across as well!!

Apparently he is looking for the chance to play finals and to be a part of a club that can realistically provide that as Melbourne is not likely to for a very long time.

Watch this space..."

 

I think I've read similar things about Wines on this forum.

Ablett moved for money. I have no doubt our offer to Viney would be greater than what Port would offer.

The root of all evil.

From Jack's mother:

Ahggggghhg

He's going nowhere!!!!

I wanna see that purple headed monkey ask him that question face to face...

 

Yeah, I'm evil

Funny

I reckon there's some truth to this.

There's so many dismissive, arrogant and blasé comments - on Facebook posts from Fox Footy, AFL and the like - when Melbourne is mentioned in positive news stories (which they mostly are these days). "They're still a basket case", "They'll always be a rabble", "The most fight you'll see from Melbourne all year" (in relation to TMac and Viney stoush) and so on.

Fans of clubs like Essendon, Collingwood, Richmond still refuse to believe that we could be any good this year. The media are similar. So many journos have actually tipped us to finish lower this year than last (this makes absolutely no sense but whatever they're the experts). 

It doesn't bother me, because we know better. Maybe they have a right to be like that given how crap we've been in recent years. But I think many must know things have changed and I think it's fear and wishful thinking as much as anything. 

It's going to make it so much sweeter when we prove them wrong.

hahah this may be the most unrealistic rumour ever created


I am hoping that Barrett & Slobbo

are involved in some nasty Media Frenzy at some stage

the bile and absolute Filth both write as journalists is incredible. 

I wait...

I don't know why this thread hasn't already been closed, it's the most farcical thing I've read this year.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

  • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

    Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

  • PREGAME: Hawthorn

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
