Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

    We reserve the right to delete posts that offend against our above policy & indeed, to ban posters who are repeat offenders or who breach our code of conduct.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.


Jack Viney on Re-Signing & Geelong Offer


Wiseblood

Recommended Posts

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. ??

Such as.........

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??

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.

so you dont know what the offers where then

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.

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
