Can't specifically say to much but my information comes from someone employed by the club. I don't post everything i'm told, but this will be announced in due course so i'm coming forth now. 

Bloody great news!

    Would have thought the B&F would have been the perfect time to announce that he had signed on.

    Perhaps I'm wrong but I can't remember a single time a contract announcement has been done during the BnF. Doesn't seem like the appropriate forum to me, particularly with some players already shown the door and others most likely knowing they're up for trade. To me it doesn't seem very tactful.

    They never do that as they like to keep things separate. If he had signed though I'm sure we'd be hearing something about it very shortly.

    He doesn’t come across as the sort of person that would take the limelight at such an event

    Its actually laughable he finished ahead of Ed Langdon and as high as 3rd.

    Langdon had a much more productive and team orientated year then Viney.

    You don't know his instructions. What you, or any of us actually see is not the whole story, not by a long way.

    The guy has been locked up in Qld with a 2 week old baby with no support from parents etc. Played a hellish schedule and missed finals. Time he had a little space. It won't kill us to wait for the decision. It's our pastime it is his life. 

    Well said Old Dee, hopefully the Covid crisis has given us all a reality check on what is important in life.

    It aint money or material possessions that's for sure

    4 or 5 close enough.

    Good to see a couple of demonland contributors @Lord Nev, @Dannyzare on the money.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Great news

    In line with term I heard rumoured

    Flip side of those rumours was who was a likely exit from the midfield group. Will have to chase some more mail and revert

    I challenge anyone who’s had babies only a few months old to move them with a new mum to another state with no family support, the stresses would be enormous as Jack alluded they almost come back, not making excuses as many other afl clubs had similar challenges but they would all vary not knowing health & state of both baby, mum & dad

    Same. I really liked the look of the Roti Maker for $29.95. A late 2nd/3rd rounder should get it done, I reckon.

    This is a great post. ?

    Yes agree AF 

    Viney is all Melb and as with all players is a "work in progress".

    The Coaches  must be more Ruthless and train him on kicking Right Foot and the first option.

    His disposal improved since earlier in the season and ALL Demons MUST develop this aspect of their game for us to go to the next level or two.

    Well done Jack all The best with your 
    little one during the off season.

    Bring on 2021 

     

    Oh I really hope its true he's signed on. Such an important player. I was starting to sweat on him leaving.

    Came in this year sans captain role but:

    - Noticebly fitter. Ran out games much better and seems injury free finally.

    - As mentioned improved disposal. Less rushed more considered.

    I want this guy in the centre in the heat of a final next year. He and Max are our heart and soul.

    @Dannyz could you please remember to put the hyphen in...it's grammatically correct and VERY MFC.

    I'm happy to bundle up the ice cream maker my wife bought six years ago (which has yet to be used), the shorts she bought me yesterday and a half eaten jar of Spreewalder pickled gherkins.

     I would never put you, or many others, in the "vehemently opposed to everything Jack Viney does" category Redleg. I was aiming my comments at those who show total disrespect to, and constant underrating of Jack's role and worth to the team.

    Fair enough.


    If we have signed him for 4 or 5 years I believe this will come back to bite big time! As iterated limited player who won't improve.Will keep making the same errors time and time again. Before anyone wants to criticise then this is just my opinion.

    He's resigned for 4 years to be Nick Kyrgios' personal trainer mate.

    • 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.

      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?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      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?
