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

They were never part of tomorrow's  picture

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
