If Viney goes it's because he wants to leave; not because the club doesn't want him.

    You mean like pushing Watts and Hogan out the door and playing Frawley forward after letting him explore his options, ensuring we could train up a new key back and still get maximum compensation, which led to Brayshaw's pick?

    We've shown plenty of ruthlessness. There's a difference between being ruthless and careless with knee-jerk decision making.

    Further, Zac Williams is a FA, we don't need to trade for him...

    Who was the key back we trained up.

    We played a defensive system with players who we knew would be there the following season...

    Well, you said we trained up a key back. Who was he? Even who were they if you cant as is obvious name the one who replaced Frawley.

    It would have been Garland and Tom McDonald in those years.

    And furthermore, why would a club that chronically lacks physical presence, mongrel, bruising footballers surrender a competitive beast like Jack Viney.

    I agree with G Lyon. You know what you're getting with Jack. A first round draft pick? Huh, this is supposed to be the most compromised draft for a decade. A first round pick ain't worth as much this year. And who's to say we don't end up with another Jimmy Toumpas?

    Finally, the fact that a mob like Geelong is considering him is confirmation enough that we should keep him. The forwards need to connect better and play to his strengths as much as he tries to play to theirs.

    Don't agree with the Geelong point.

    Good clubs make poor drafting/trading decisions all the time.

    I think this is what is being missed in the current discussion.

    Right now, the only suggestion is that Viney's considering his options. Not that the club is shopping him around or not offering him a contract.

    Yet many on here are arguing the club is making a bad decision.

    A RUTHLESS club would!! J.V for a first rounder?? Yes please!

    Compensation pick would be 19. From last 2 drafts, Sam de Koning and Liam Stocker. Would you like to reconsider?

    If Viney goes and we then manged to land Williams would our compensation be erased or diluted?

    We are not going to the draft with any potential first rounder though, it will be to land a readymade player who improves our balance.

    Viney out and Williams in is a win-win for us.

    Rubbish and you know it. 

    What are you talking about? And what are you even arguing?

    My point was we let Frawley explore his free agency and set up our defence without him. How is that rubbish?

    How many times does he have to realise he ain't the only player on the field. Gets caught constantly, never uses the first option.

    What a strange way of putting it. It's very rare a quote sounds awkward and avoidant, but he's nailed it with that one.

    He's gone I'd say. Question is are we pushing him or has he made his own decision?

    Jack almost seemed to deliberately avoid giving it off to certain people in the game. Maybe I’m just reading too much into it! 

    First play of the final quarter, season on the line, Viney tries to take on the whole world and gets pinged holding the ball as is his trademark.

    And Rivers was pick 32. Another like him would be a win imv.

    It’s probably extremely harsh, but that wasn’t a finals like performance from Jack with our season on the line.

    He tries out do too much and it’s often to the detriment of our team.

    Wish him well in the future and hope we get something useful from the transaction

    Viney has been a great player losing captaincy was a kick in the guts. I think that has never sat well with him. To me losing him confirm a cultural problem at the club. Beyond football has given his all for the club.

    • 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      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.
