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.

Are you sure?

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: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
