Apparently the Cats are targeting Viney, or Crouch, during free agency.

There are no specific quotes as such, just some speculation that they are keen on him and that, if he were to go, he would command around 650k a season which would likely trigger a first round compo pick for us.

The article does go on to say that we are still talking to Viney about a new contract and that we could still easily lock him away to a new deal in the next month or so.

Seems obvious. It is a Geelong set play. They have seen Jack at his best against their three stars, especially in 2018. 

It is another tragedy. Jack may be tempted and some fans will be for it. All because we have not had adaquete coaching or team structures to individually improve Jacks game or help him achieve team success.

in general I’m getting to the point where I will have no favourite players or invest time into certain players as they will move when they want regardless of their current contract status. 
 

It’s just a business now more so than ever before and supporting the club rather than individual players along with the club seems to be the way to go then that way u won’t be as disappointed when a player leaves. 
 

This is a sad reality for me.

Geelong have asked the question, if Viney signs a contract he will end up there. #ETthetradebreaker. 

Even if the contract he signs is with us?

This season is just crazy :P

Well put half. 
 

You need a game plan that suits your list and works to their strengths. Unfortunately I don’t see any of that currently and that’s the problem.

And you kinda think he would be organised into a strict role at the Cats to bring about individual and team success. Added to that Geelong play an exciting brand of footy.

If he leaves its on the coaches and its another in a long line of players leaving that are disgruntled with the lack of success and professionalism at the club. Its really disappointing that we have such good players and they cant get it to work. i love Jack Viney. I love his competitiveness, his determination his toughness.. the club needs more of it not less. People are obsessed with Angus Brayshaw, he has teh entire footy world bluffed, hasnt strung 2 decent games together since 2018,  he is lazy, one way, disinterested and a smart alec. i know which one i would want to go.

All of the above can be true but Gus is still more talented...!

I have had a funny feeling since the day he said he and his brothers go to Sandy oval and do 100x100 runs on Christmas morning. Massively competitive within the family unit. The running bit just seemed odd and gee it must have been at a slow pace.

Maybe he is,  he has better skills, but Talent is only good if you use it.. attitude is really important IMO.

how do u know he wouldn’t choose to stay if goody remained? My own impression was that they had a strong connection, 

IF , and it’s a big if, he wanted out because of his relationship w goody then that’s a major factor and may change my current stand that i want goody to remain. but i do need to first know more about why jack hasn’t yet re signed.

The 26-year-old would command a deal worth over $650,000 per year, which could trigger a first-round compensation pick.

That in itself in a year we don't have any/many high draft picks.  Both parties would seriously need to consider, both MFC and Viney.

Ive seen Jack and his partner down at Ocean Grove a few times, smashing some burgers and chips at one of the local eateries. (2016-2019)

Could be a good fit for Viney.

Viney like many of the players at the club is someone who I feel has attributes that could make him a great player for us but is either not being used well or not being developed well. 

There’s this constant discussion of whether a midfield of Oliver, Brayshaw, and Viney can exist. I think it can if instructed and coached well. 

Given Jack’s history with his dad, and everything he’s gone through at the club himself it would be tough seeing him in any other colours. Especially seeing him at the cats! ?

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.
