Pretty hard for them to shed light on the matter when the so called info is fake news, {as the trump would say}

Not fake, Jack told a senior member of the leadership group he was staying after seeing the contract. That person is taking Jack at his word. If Jack is sounding out other offers they would have to be much better as an RFA the club can match the offer and Geelong are not noted for over paying.

Who is the senior member of the leadership group. Since free agency began I don't think any club has matched an offer to keep  a player, why would you?

Didn’t Scully tell a dying Jim Stynes that he was staying?

But, I’m hearing you - JV has more character

Yeah, I am sure Scully indicated he would, and I agree that Viney would most likely be more honest in his indications.

How would one “keep them all” but some outside talent with very little money in the salary cap and no first round pick this year?

No idea ?


The big issue at the moment is club don't know what the TPP will be in 2021 and the list size.  No idea how clubs are approaching players from other clubs why this is a great unknown.

If I divulge my source then they will never speak to me again. You only have to look who is in the leadership group to narrow the field. Clubs don’t match the offer because the RFA gets offered overs so and more than the Existing club is prepared to offer, the Crows matched the offer for Danger and then Geelong had to trade but Danger had compelling reasons to return to Geelong.

I know it is a ruthless business but if a leader ask you if you are staying and how are you going and you say unequivocally Yes I am red & blue through and through, then you have to take them at their word, don’t you. If they stay they haven’t breached that trust if they have been untruthful then it doesn’t matter because they will be somewhere else. Do you think Scully ever had any remorse for lying to Jim?

Viney’ should manager is on record as saying the original offer was too low but he has a contract now to consider that is commensurate with being a former leader and 3rd in the B&F. The ball is in Viney’s court. I have only reported what I have been told from someone I trust and the club has so far done the right thing by the club. Viney will be well compensated with a long contract. The delay suggests he is still thinking about it which is his perogative.

Demons insiders are now supremely confident the hard-nosed midfielder will remain as negotiations continue between his agent Tom Petroro and the club.

You shouldn’t have to divulge your source, keep posting.

Jack has advised the club he will sign the 4 year contract in front of him. The formalities will follow. The delay is around AFL confirmations on 2021 caps and list sizes.

But yet you still find the need to reply,  and question their sources? If you didn't take it for granted, then why reply?

I mean its no different to you coming on here and rambling on how much insight you have into Paddy McCartin because you apparently you know the family well..

Up to the individual whether theu want to believe or not. Don't think they need to be criticised for it though DD.

If I took it for granted I wouldn't ask the question in the first place, I would just accept it.

Yeah I do know the family well, I have stated that before in some of the posts.

That's interesting considering we've been told he's signed a four year or five year deal already.

I don't really think he was ever going to leave, though.  I can understand his frustration at losing the captaincy, but he doesn't strike me as the type of bloke who would run off at the first sign of a challenge.

Four(?) years for Jack and another year for Jones....

I suppose it makes sense but I think both are a year too long.

When list sizes are reduced and salary caps are tight few players if any  IMO should get more than three years

Not quite sure how Jones managed that

On SEN about an hour ago:

The original offer for Viney was too low for the player and the counter offer to the club was too high.

Subsequent negotiations have arrived at an acceptable figure for both parties but they are waiting on cap sizes to be ratified by the AFL.

in further news Isaac Smith has expressed strong interest in the Dees’ offer and is weighing up his options

Wow ... there seem to be 2 camps.

One of my colleagues was in Jack's year level at Carey. Her comment was that he wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed. Which is perhaps consistent with the comments that he's difficult to coach.

His attempts to barge through tackles look totally clueless. He invariably gets caught. (A bit like Jonesy before he stopped doing it ... after about 10 seasons !!)

And his refusal to kick on his right foot when that is clearly the best option hurt the side. 

Actually there are 3 camps.I'm kinda in the middle. Don't really mind if he stays or goes. 

couldn't be too much dimmer than gawn. personally i reckon viney is a pretty nice guy, despite his footy persona. dare i say it, a sensitive new age guy..

The suggestion is a playing coach type role. Sounds like a contrived attempt to get him to 300.

In normal circumstances I can see the emotional merit but unfortunately not now.

He is not a coaches [censored]

He has already coached bad habits into  ten years of teams

He should go gracefully

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
