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.

    maybe it wasnt you?

    I wonder hiw he will go balancing being  ruthless and building relationships?

    The young bloke just told me that JV has removed all reference to the MFC off his Insta bio...is that serious??

    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...

    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.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
