Apparently the Cats are targeting Viney, or Crouch, during free agency.

There are no specific quotes as such, just some speculation that they are keen on him and that, if he were to go, he would command around 650k a season which would likely trigger a first round compo pick for us.

The article does go on to say that we are still talking to Viney about a new contract and that we could still easily lock him away to a new deal in the next month or so.

    Paging Ethan the Trade Whispering Breaker

    Geelong have asked the question, if Viney signs a contract he will end up there. #ETthetradebreaker.

    Seems obvious. It is a Geelong set play. They have seen Jack at his best against their three stars, especially in 2018. 

    It is another tragedy. Jack may be tempted and some fans will be for it. All because we have not had adaquete coaching or team structures to individually improve Jacks game or help him achieve team success.

    in general I’m getting to the point where I will have no favourite players or invest time into certain players as they will move when they want regardless of their current contract status. 
     

    It’s just a business now more so than ever before and supporting the club rather than individual players along with the club seems to be the way to go then that way u won’t be as disappointed when a player leaves. 
     

    This is a sad reality for me.

    Even if the contract he signs is with us?

    This season is just crazy :P

    Well put half. 
     

    You need a game plan that suits your list and works to their strengths. Unfortunately I don’t see any of that currently and that’s the problem.

    And you kinda think he would be organised into a strict role at the Cats to bring about individual and team success. Added to that Geelong play an exciting brand of footy.

    If he leaves its on the coaches and its another in a long line of players leaving that are disgruntled with the lack of success and professionalism at the club. Its really disappointing that we have such good players and they cant get it to work. i love Jack Viney. I love his competitiveness, his determination his toughness.. the club needs more of it not less. People are obsessed with Angus Brayshaw, he has teh entire footy world bluffed, hasnt strung 2 decent games together since 2018,  he is lazy, one way, disinterested and a smart alec. i know which one i would want to go.

    All of the above can be true but Gus is still more talented...!

    I have had a funny feeling since the day he said he and his brothers go to Sandy oval and do 100x100 runs on Christmas morning. Massively competitive within the family unit. The running bit just seemed odd and gee it must have been at a slow pace.

    Maybe he is,  he has better skills, but Talent is only good if you use it.. attitude is really important IMO.

    fortunately he's restricted so if the offer isn't enough to get us back into the first round they'll have to trade for him; they have three first round picks i'll take two kthxbye

    i would expect even if the cats do make an offer for him we'd match and force a trade

    it would be very sad to see him go 

    It would be sad to see him go, but hypothetically, if we got a first round pick that we used to draft a Max/Ben King forward type, I could live with that.

    Would fair dinkum lose my merde with the club. 

    Has bled for the club, change Goodwin before this guy. My rage would be huge.

    how do u know he wouldn’t choose to stay if goody remained? My own impression was that they had a strong connection, 

    IF , and it’s a big if, he wanted out because of his relationship w goody then that’s a major factor and may change my current stand that i want goody to remain. but i do need to first know more about why jack hasn’t yet re signed. 

    The 26-year-old would command a deal worth over $650,000 per year, which could trigger a first-round compensation pick.

    That in itself in a year we don't have any/many high draft picks.  Both parties would seriously need to consider, both MFC and Viney.


    hmmm.... where in the first round?

    Ive seen Jack and his partner down at Ocean Grove a few times, smashing some burgers and chips at one of the local eateries. (2016-2019)

    Could be a good fit for Viney.

    Viney like many of the players at the club is someone who I feel has attributes that could make him a great player for us but is either not being used well or not being developed well. 

    There’s this constant discussion of whether a midfield of Oliver, Brayshaw, and Viney can exist. I think it can if instructed and coached well. 

    Given Jack’s history with his dad, and everything he’s gone through at the club himself it would be tough seeing him in any other colours. Especially seeing him at the cats! ? 

     

    If I was jack I would go to the cats to. 
     

    Would be nice to experience a good match day coach and tactician which he hasn’t had since Roos left.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
