I'm confused about all this Viney trade talk.. can someone enlighten me on where it has come from?

The bloke basically grew out of the side of the building and bleeds red and blue. He's vice captain.. does anyone really think he'd go? I just can't believe it.

And from the perspective of the football department. He is again VC, he's one of the first picked each week.. why would they trade him?

The whole thing has me berfuddled.. Don't get it.

I think it's partly because of how much better our midfield has operated when he's not been in there attacking the pill like a mad man. They just look more organised without that chaos. Agree that he's heart and soul, and we all love his aggressive intent, but it is hard to argue that he upsets the balance of our midfield. 

I don't think we can play Viney, Oliver and Trac in there at the same time. Brayshaw actually positions himself well better than the others at the stoppages so I don't like the idea of him going.

    Because sometimes the player does what is best for the player and the club does what is best for the club.  In this case not sure if any truth behind this who would be driving this, but is strange he hasn't signed as yet.  Does he want out for success and less pressure or does club want him out as we have other options, can't meet his $$$$ and should get end of first rounder for him.

     

    Let Viney walk and trade Brayshaw to justify recruiting more inside mids is the master plan

    Resigning or re-signing?

    Re-signing sorry.

    He's an RFA, we'd most likely get band 2 compensation (end of 1st round pick) - in a highly compromised draft.

    I know he's got his limitations, but the simple fact is that he's among our top half-dozen players, no point pretending otherwise. He rarely plays a bad game and is one of the few players on our list who lifts when the going gets tough.

    I can't see how Viney leaving improves our side.

     

     

    fair enough viewpoint.

    If players like Viney and Brayshaw want to leave then look at the coaching staff.

    Despite what he’s been saying publicly, there’s no way he’s been happy this year.

    Stripped of captaincy, team going backwards and a coach that is very one dimensional. Doesn’t sound like I’d love my job in that scenario either.

    For me it's questionable/poor list management to have Viney in the 'surplus to needs' category anyway.

    I'm all for more skilled players but our game style has never been about that. 

    I have long said I want Viney to stay. 

    To think he would stay because he bleeds red and blue, well same could be said of Daniher.  Times have changed. 

    And Viney at Port doesn't mean they give up Wines.  They have some aging mid fielders and some young ones.  Jack (and Ollie) fits nicely into that age group.

    The closer we get to EOS without a contract announcement for Jack the more nervous I get about him staying.

    Fingers crossed.

    Moon-man, what you doing here? A bit of [censored]-teasing? Just drop a bit of a bomb and then nick off? Could you have at least put it in riddle form?

    Red tastes better with age as long as the grapes are picked from the Vine at the right time.

    I think you needed to work in the water (Port) factor into that a little better.

    I was going to drop in something about the grapes becoming fortified but thought it might have been a bit much.

    He is a restricted free agent so the club would have no say and little leverage. If he says I want out then the only thing they could do to keep him is match his offer. But would you want to do that if he wants to leave. The guy has lost the captaincy, the club pushed his old man out, the team is going nowhere fast and he may or not like the coach. It is not difficult to see why he would be looking around. He spent a good part of his early life in SA. Port seems an option to me. I have noticed that his conversations on field have dropped considerably and he is putting up good stats but if he was leaving he would want to keep putting in good performances to keep his value up. And why hasn’t he re signed. Looks like smoke and fire to me.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
