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.

    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."

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
