i've read nothing to say that our offer was higher than the cats

where is that little tidbit from?

i'm ecstatic he stayed

you don't want to lose your best players, particularly not to that taxpayer funded mob

    Cats have a massive advantage over most Victorian teams:

    - Cheaper housing in Geelong and surrounding areas, looking at a 25% benefit, easy sell to players 

    - Beach and not being in city throng appeals to many players, many happy to accept less for this factor alone
    - Housing & beach etc gives them a 10-20% benefit in player negotiations
    - 8 games a year at Kardinia Park or whatever it’s called today

    - very profitable boutique stadium funded by govt
    - 8 games at MCG or Marvel so well used to both grounds

    So do you think Jacks manager came  back to us after talking to Geelong, and gave them Geelongs true offer and said, match Geelongs offer and he will stay. Wow. 

    I suspect it's entirely possible the contract ended up being less than Geelong's offer.

    There's more to Viney's decision than just money/years.

    I'm talking bushwalks. Also, the biggest no no is the ink on the paper. The bottom line, is that the Murdoch papers are the equivalent of POOOO.

     

    You'll get no argument from me regarding anything to do with that vile man. ??

    Did you read the article?

    “I love working with ‘Goody’"

    “I feel like if I was to head somewhere else and end my time at the club, then I would be hanging him out to dry a bit."

    “I thoroughly thought through both scenarios and came to my conclusion there is unfinished business with Melbourne Football Club."

    “It is something I have put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into and I do want to see it out."

    “Everything is about making the Melbourne Football Club great again and successful again and that is where my ultimate fulfilment is going to come from.”

    If that is all he was thinking he would not have even considered the Geelong offer. his comments on re-signing are the feel good part of the negotiations. What is it that you and others here are so scared of facing about players looking at contract offers and finding their value and team role may be less than what they thought. Good for Jack, I hope he got a good deal, I would not have given him five years. His comments on Goody are troubling, very troubling, or extremely niave.

    Happy Jack has recommitted but the desire id like to see for Jack is to add more strings to the bow.

    You know not getting caught in a tackle after going in headfirst, kicking and hand balling from both sides. Lastly less bleeding red and more bleeding blue, you know blue is the best chance of a flag. 

    Jack broke more tackles this year than any other player in the comp FWIW

    Jack put himself on the market with a top line Club. They put a value on him within their system of player payments. A system that has bought them premierships and long term finals participation. We put a higher $ valuation on Jack. Time will tell which Club had the better payment system and valuation.

    and what was the Geelong offer $$ and how did that compare to Melb??

    It has been well reported that we gave Jack an offer, he then listened to the Cats offer. We increased our offer and he took our increased offer that was more than the Cats.

    so you dont know what the offers where then

    I don't really understand what the bolded bit means.

    It remains the case that there's no report, rumour or any other evidence to suggest we ended up offering Viney more than what Geelong offered him, which is what you've claimed.

    I've already said I wasn't sure about a 5-year deal but I'm not at all fussed about the way the negotiations played out.

    Of course they don't, so they make it up to set their twisted beliefs. Not sure why some of them even support the club.

    You appear to be unaware that in almost all cases a player needs to be offered a higher amount by the other club to be enticed to leave his current club.

    If I come to you and say ‘my company has seen your work and we are interested in having you join us. Here is our offer’. Would you screw it up and throw it in the bin or say that’s interesting. I’ll think about it and get back to you?

    I know what I’d do. I’d go to my employer and tell them I was being headhunted but I’d rather stay here. 

    Of course it’s never about the $$$ but to not at least look and consider what is on offer would be silly. He looked. He talked. We counter offered. He signed. Everything else is bumf.

    Only read bits of the thread but FWIW, I'm glad he's staying.
    Be a sad day for the club if Viney ever pulled on another clubs jumper.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
