Brayshaw and Harmes should feel like there spot is threatend. We need outside mids and neither Harmes or Brayshaw have strengths that are better than Oliver, Viney or Tracs strengths.

Harmes - HFF
Brayshaw - Trade

    As a 60-year supporter of the club, regardless of 'ultimate' (IS it, though?) success, I can't help but have special regard for players applying similar, unshakeable loyalty - with the bonus of a healthy income! - in the relatively small number of years that is their playing life. So I'm in the "Great news!" camp.

    36 goals in 135 games; that's something to work on though...

    It's weird... Would have been so disappointed if he left, but I feel like we need to make bit changes to our midfield for balance and for me he is the most one dimensional mid we have 

    Agree..five years is 2 years too long given his form. Viney is likely to be a 5-10 ranked player at best.

    Hope he proves me wrong but I just can't see much upside and his present best is okay without being much more.

    All the big guns are locked in .   Despite not making the finals it looks as if they want to be at Melbourne.  Lets hope there is some unfinished business to attend to.

    On record to say that 5 years is one too many. But clearly we were very keen to keep him so had to do what we had to do to make it happen.

    In a time of reduced lists five years should be reserved for the absolute elite. It's the equivalent of an 2018 seven year deal.

    I hope the money in the fourth and fifth years is highly conditional.

    Yep coz he is a Rugby player nothing more or less, Crazy decision for a limited player!

    Well, he's rated very highly by the club and by his teammates. I think I'd take their opinion over your's.

    Simply have to sign JV up for a further 4 years through to end 2024. 

    He has the heart of a lion. You just can’t replace players like Viney.

    Great news. Jack is a Demon for life. For all the reasons that I outlined.

    Jones Finished

    Nev almost the same

    Max excellent player. Mate heart and soul IS NOT going to deliver a flag, Classy players will

    Viney signing reeks of yet another "Panic" by our Footy admin that saw us do the same thing to sign Goody for an eternity!

    No wonder we are so bloody average 

    Viney 5 years FMD

    Dangerfield- still waiting for a flag. LOL.

    1 possibly 2 year deal with triggers. Bookmark this for same time next year and see if I'm mistaken!

    So you are saying this time next year we will all be wanting Jack to leave PF?

    Only your opinion but I admit we have to sort out his style of play and our mids link with and take proper advantage of Maxy's ruck work.

    Need new midfield coach to bring fresh approach.

    Going by some of the logic being thrown around here of late, the signing of Viney clearly points to Brayshaw being traded.

    Or he'd go okay in the ring too. Famechon, Rose, Viney. Not sure of the weight (bantam/welter etc) but I'd back him to last the distance. And that's what we've gone for.

    The pleasing thing so far is that there is little evidence that players want to leave the club. 

    The reverse. A good sign and shows a well managed process in place devoid of rumours and media talk.

    It's not logic it's just lazy approach 

    No mid needs to go to from Melb We just need better coaches with our players to utilise our talents .

    Don’t be ridiculous, l agree 5 years is to much, but you don’t offer a 1 year deal to a player that just finished 3rd in the b&f

    Not sure of Viney's weight but if he was around 79 kgs he would be light heavyweight class

    Clearly he does what the Coaches want and we don't see it DJ 

    We need a 25% lift from Jack Gus and Harmesy and Swallow given some extra opportunities to blend in fir our midfield to reach its capacity and flag potential ability.

    Great news. The most preferred outcome was to have him sign. In saying that it feels one year too long and if five was the difference between staying and going I would have rolled the dice and stood firm on 4. I cant see with the way he plays and his prior foot issues him being valuable in year 5.

    "Melbourne confirms Jack Viney will be a Demon until at least the end of 2025. Geelong have known for a couple of weeks he would stay. Goodwin relationship a huge factor."

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
