Adam The God 30,706 Posted September 20, 2020 Posted September 20, 2020 We need balance in our forwardline. I wouldn't be going for Fogarty. We need ground level pressure and speed. He offers neither. If you're going to play Fritsch as the third tall, we needs speedy smalls to compliment the three talls. 2
Adam The God 30,706 Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 (edited) Nah. I reckon he's re-signed. Edited September 21, 2020 by A F Ah, turns out it's an extremely misleading headline. 1

Thehardtackler 785 Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 (edited) If Jack Viney goes it will probably hurt our Membership Numbers. He is a key player, whose number is on many supporters backs! Edited September 21, 2020 by Thehardtackler
Lucifers Hero 40,706 Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 (edited) From an article on Foxfooty: VINEY’S FUTURE ON A KNIFE-EDGE Carlton and Geelong both believe Jack Viney is up for grabs for the right price. There is conjecture about how much Melbourne actually wants to keep its former captain, although Simon Goodwin is a huge fan of the 26-year-old. Would love to be a fly on the wall when Goodwin and the List Management Team meet! Goodwin being a fan of Viney was obvious when he made the 'captain's call' to make Viney co-capt blindsiding our existing captain in the process. A decision the players over turned just 3 years later. Goodwin may be too emotionally invested in Jack to make a 'best for the club' type decision. Edited September 21, 2020 by Lucifer's Hero 1
Lord Travis 10,817 Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 Have heard Viney is likely to stay, but other players such as TMac may be on the move. TMac unhappy with the way the club has handled his body the past few years, both from injury management and changing body shape to add bulk which caused further issues. 1

Ridiculously overrated. 4 disposals to half time.. I've said it all along, he is a seriously limited, selfish footballer. Tries time and time again to break tackle after tackle, refuses to dish it of to first option. He would be a magnificent rugby player, but he is not a footballer. Can go to Geelong or wherever and we will just take a first round pick and hopefully use it on a FOOTBALLER. Edited September 21, 2020 by picket fence 1
Garbo 1,566 Posted September 22, 2020 Posted September 22, 2020 If its between Viney and Brayshaw id Trade Viney, has more value but, has probably peaked as a player and our midfield performs better without him imo. 1
Cheap Seats 3,310 Posted September 22, 2020 Posted September 22, 2020 (edited) Actually dont worry abut it LH. I remember the promotion and it doesn't really matter. Player lead or Goowin lead its not a big issue. Edited September 22, 2020 by Unleash Hell

If i recall correctly you said, in response to my concerns that his close relationships with players could potentially cloud Goody's judgment, that you didn't think that is likely.

It’s not a matter of trading for him though is it? He is a Restricted Free Agent. We can match whatever Geelong offers him and then get picks as compensation, which is a real lottery, so don’t expect a first rounder. We will get a 2nd rounder and be bent over. That’s how I understand the RFA, but happy to be corrected. Geelong won’t be giving us anything in return. 1

Most likely is after our second rounder. If we do match we either keep him or trade him to Geelong. In which case we can ask for a deal involving one of their 3 first round picks. Currently 11, 15 and 16. Of course the risk there is that they’d probably be a lot less interested if they had to trade. 1

Comprimised draft but if Geelong could get him and still have those 3 picks they could be in good future shape. Kinda think they are planning on not using, 11, 15 and 16.

Brayshaw said on the Captains run that there is a ligament in his foot that isn’t working creating issues for his other ligaments. He also said he would be back ready for the 1st day of pre-season.

Rossmillan 589 Posted September 22, 2020 Posted September 22, 2020 On Viney, You just can’t replace heart and soul players. I don’t think anyone thinks for a second he isn’t busting his guts every time he runs out. It’s very frustrating watching him get caught holding the ball after trying to break tackles. On reflection I wonder if he is going through a transition and trying to get the balance right. After the “red mist” bang it on the boot was the in vogue game style, I think Viney is looking to not do that and is finding his feet with the don’t waste the ball game plan. Clarry seems to be using his feet more to explode out of contests to use the ball better, I think we need to give Viney the chance to find the balance of when to bang it forward and when to hold the ball for better options. Id like to see the structure allow someone to be moving to offer Viney some handball options when he’s likely to be tackled. Still a very valuable player in my opinion, we shouldn’t be letting him go anywhere.

Geelong offers a good lifestyle living in those Coastal towns and playing to adoring fans. I think it is a matter of how much that lifestyle appeals to the young Viney family. i will respect any decision he makes.
