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.

    • Demonland changed the title to Viney Signs Until 2025

    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. 

    2016 B&F winner.
    2017 runner up in B&F.
    Had foot issues which impacted his 2018.

    Heart and soul of the club.  

     

     

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

    Viney Limited just check his seasons stats

    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."

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
