Fantastic news

There is obviously so much going on behind the scenes we punters just dont know about. and thats how it should be ... Now lets sign up a few more... Who's next?

Well done team on all the work that led to this signing

With Jack signing it makes me reflect on recent non signings frawley and Howe and wonder how hard we really tried to sign them 

Frawley just puts an x on the line I'm told.

So it was always going to be hard to get his signature.

Whilst the mercenaries will always exist there are also those for whom the jumper, the history and the chance to enjoy the resurgent era mean more. Viney is amongst these. More so Jack understands he's causal to this and meets destiny head on ..... with a smile.

The more such players do do the more likely it is to happen.

We didn't

There are plenty to thank for our turn around.

Jack Viney made his team mates change by showing them how to tackle. They all got on board.

We stopped being bruise free 2 years ago.

if you are too weak to hang around while the side develops and instead want to barnacle yourself onto a successful club, than you don't have the strength of character required to be at the MFC, and there's the door

I don't GAF how much they paid him. Loyalty or family connections have nothing to do with it. Jack Viney is now elite property and will be paid as such.

Could not agree more. My immediate reaction. Your first sentence sums it up. Its not always about the money. Also shows how well this club is now being managed. If you were going to sign up mid season one of your gun players who would it be. Jesse Hogan? No wrong, Jack Viney. Heart and Soul. Massive strategic move, A really powerful action that will impact on the club, its players and supporters. Jack Viney is Melbourne.

What happened to Damien Barretts pathetic claim that Jack Viney was going to Port Adelaide this was never going to happen as he is true Red & Blue his Father played here not to mention that we are on the way up. I can't stand him he is always taking cheap shots at our club

Is that the same Damien Barrett that criticised us trading for Dom Tyson and then admitted he has never seen him play? 

When this one re Viney came up, it reaffirmed my belief that he was a demon for life.

Just waiting for the hogan trade scoop from Barrett to know jesse will sign with us again a mega deal within a week!

How good would it be to see him holding up the premiership cup one day...? 

Haha, agreed, but let's be honest, we'd all be happy with anyone holding up the premiership cup, as long as they were wearing the red and blue jumper. :P

As far as $ are concerned, the Herald Sun are reporting it could be up to $2.5mil over 4 years, depending on bonuses for b&f and brownlow finishes

Was going to say the same. Whatever it is, it is well worth it. The guy is just such a leader, he has played 56 games?! Imagine how good he will be at 100+, frightening for opposition teams.

What a role model for Oliver, Brayshaw and Petracca. He's shown that if you live by the rule that you go harder than everyone around you, you can reach the heights of being an all-australian type performer in just your fourth year of footy. Let's hope the way he goes about things truly does rub off on his younger teammates (you'd think the effect of this will be stronger when he is named captain). Petracca in particular is scary concept - because if he plays with the intent and hardness that Viney does, he has the added  advantage of a very solid body that could make him very damaging indeed. Then think of the four of them in the middle all playing with Viney-like rage and toughness, who is going to stop them?

Bargain.

Viney is the beating heart of the MFC.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
