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.

    2017 runner up in B&F.

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

    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."

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
