Jack Viney signs huge new 4 year deal.

Featured Replies

In my mind, Jack is the best player we've had in a Melbourne jumper in a very long time. If anything, he's still somewhat underrated because his career with us has been almost a given and his personal trajectory steady and predictable. There was something so Brownlow about him from the moment he arrived (the biggest issue now is he'll be competing with Oliver). If he had done so with a different name through proper draft channels or a trade we wouldn't stop talking him up. He's already the driving force of this club - just watch him leading from the front every time the game is on the line or we need a lift - digging in deeper for the crucial clearances. I'm certain we got him for an absolute bargain - his loyalty keeping his price down without being tested on the open market.

BUMP!

Edit: Sorry if bumping this thread has you thinking Jack has signed a new contract.  Almost better. 

Nathan Jones anoints Jack as our next Captain!  http://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/nathan-jones-says-jack-viney-will-be-the-next-melbourne-captain/news-story/b552d255ab4f756475f02935733d0921  Tho I doubt it will be anytime soon: “I don’t think there is any real doubt about that (next captain) ... he plays the game exactly how you’d want a leader to play the game,” Jones said.

Glad Jones will hold on to captaincy for now and let Jack grow.

On track to following in his father's footsteps.  Then hopefully exceed them with a Premiership:cool:

Following in his father's footsteps...but not yet:cool:

Nothing is surer.   Born to lead the Melbourne Football Club.

Jonesy will skipper for another couple of years before JV takes over -   yesterday might have been the best captains game he has ever played.

Sorry, didn't know where to put it or to start a new thread.  Maybe the mods can move it.


The young man nominated by Joel Selwood as the hardest and most relentless he has ever played against.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

  • CASEY: Footscray

    At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

  • PREGAME: Brisbane

    The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
