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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
