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.

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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 12

    Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
