Ridiculous Jack Viney rumour

Not really sure how Damo got dragged into this and people are having a crack. He hasnt put anything on social media since jan and pretty sure he wouldnt believe a silly story someone put on big footy. He is a bit better than that. 

 

Speaking of rumours 

Anyone hear about Mr Senior Viney nominating for next years pre season draft. Goody reckons Todds physical presence in the midfield will help the young mids like Brayshaw,Oliver and co and is strongly considering redrafting him. Barrett all over this. About as much truth as the Jack one.

Every interview Jack does, he always refers to the club as 'we'. Even when referring to new players on our list. 

It's like in his brain he is the club. That's how locked in he is with the MFC.

It would take one big falling out for Jack to ever leave. 

 

Barrett isn't going for credibility here.

He's trolling, which he has done to the MFC for years.

And it generates hits and notoriety in its own way. I'm certain he wouldn't care at all if the vast majority hate-watches him on Footy Classified; he couldn't or else he'd have already chucked it in by now.

It's true.

 

A few people in the know assure me that Barrett is a fwit.

It's classic demonland, everyone lapping up a rumor of a rumor.   Barrett hasn't said [censored] and OP provided no links but nah purple must be talking [censored] again. I hate him as much as anyone but he is usually on the money regarding rumours and would know Viney barring a massive fallout will never leave us.

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.

I don't blame anybody for disrespecting us. We have been a disgrace for 9 years. No doubt we have improved plenty in the last 2 years but there is still a very long way to go before we have earned anybody's respect.

 

A pattern with these kind of rumours is that if they are still around after a couple of months then the chances dramatically increase that they may be true. We had seen that with Ablett, Scully, Buddy and Frawley for starters. The rumours just surge along and develop like a tsunami. Spurious rumours fizzle out quickly. I hope this one is forgotten come round one. At this stage I don't expect Viney to take any notice but if the talk persists I would expect him to debunk this rumour emphatically.

Another rumour going around (via the Port board on big footy ) is that Neal-Bullen is chronically home sick and that Port Adelaide will get him at the end of the year, in exchange for a token draft pick.

two things i'd add to this, there would be another SA team keen on him I reckon, and we certainly wouldn't accept a token pick.

I heard Angus Brayshaw has requested a trade to Brisbane because he likes the warm weather.

I've heard Wingard can't wait to get out of PA and is desperate for a trade to Carlton so he can play in premierships

Pick the name of an Adelaide boy and fill in the gaps ... Same rumour, different name

And why wouldn't they all be homesick for Adelaide? :huh:

ANB loves Melbourne. His parents are over here every other weekend. His younger brother, whom mum thinks has every bit of ability that Alex has if not more, follows the Dees closely and would love to join him in Melbourne.

Those details wouldn't be swimming around the bottom of a bottle of whiskey, would they?


Jack Viney is arguing with the FD over its spending?? All 4th year players have input and are consulted over such matters, aren't they?  I've heard everything now.

Do you really want to know?

No, because I'm not dumb enough to believe you.  Stop trying to stir up trouble.

Did Roosy knock back Todds attempt to come out of retirement?

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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?
