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

    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.

    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 05

      Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
