Let me first say I don't want him to leave but where is the proof he has signed?

If he had re signed surely the club would be crowing about it.

No proof, OD, just reading the tea leaves.

Sorry binman, I don't remember the specific post.  If you could quote it I'd be happy to respond.

Wasn't having a shot or anything. Apologies if it came across a bit combative.

On the back of what i thought was a number of strange selections (not dropping melk being one) wondering by goody I was wondering if his focus on relationships clouded his judgement sometimes. And iirc you said that was unlikely

I must have been off with the fairies!  I do think his relationships can cloud his judgement.  Some selection decisions are otherwise inexplicable.

Probably as good as any other method AF.

His display picture is him in a Melbourne jumper and his most recent photo is him and Petracca.

So, no.

If he is off it will make one the awards he won tonight look rather silly.

Ruthless with those he doesn't value, perhaps...

@dazzledavey36 mentioned earlier that he removed references at the start of the year.

Picture 4 of 16 in the 'gallery pics' from the Blue.  The old adage:  "if looks could kill..." comes to mind.

I can't seem to reproduce that one pic but Jack looks very desolate.

I hope he gets bloody ruthless with melksham. Played every game of the season. Probably in our top 5 paid players. Or close. A senior player. And comes 13th in the bluey.

Without wanting to diminish his cooments, I wonder if the shout out by viney to the players who were on the fringe were influenced at all by Ayers not deserving if a spot being selected?

I know in that photo he stands out whilst everyone else is smiling, but I think it's very dangerous to read into photos like that. Who knows what was going through his mind or of the context.

No smiling issues in his photo with his trophy or with the top 5.


Body language of Viney from the B&F suggests to me that his heart’s not with the club.

Agreed!  13th.  He should be embarrassed. 

A better season from him may have got us well into the finals.

It was left to Sam and a few small fwds to carry the fwd line for the season.

It wasn't the lack of a smile the 'adage' was referring to...

Felt emo, may delete later.

But seriously way to pick a narrative.

In fairness they all looked that way. 

I would say they are exhausted and probably had a couple of days on the turps

 

I will be [censored] gutted if Viney leaves. How do we turn away people who bleed red and blue?

Viney wasn't a problem in our final series 2 years ago, but now he is a problem because Goodwin is playing Brayshaw on a wing. 

It's all Jacks fault to this mob in here.

We should never be in the business of trading our best players.

We cannot afford to lose good players

Jack can always play forward if nesded

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
