Not sure if there was a specific thread re the North speculation so will pop some news here.

On today's gettable episode they stated Jack is in talks to have a contract extension at the dees and won't leave melbourne. 

"He's melbourne through and through."

Bloody oath he is.

    Yep I heard the same that he turned down the offer.

    Contract extension though did raise an eyebrow. Doesn’t he already have 2 years to run ? He’ll be 33 by the end of that contract… do we really need to be jumping at shadows atm?

    OOC in 2025 I believe. Wouldn't surprise me if we added 1 year to 2026 with KPI's to trigger one more to 2027.

    Well played on the thread title Nascent 😀

    Alas wasn't my doing. I posted this in another Viney related thread and I presume an admin created this one and moved it here.

    needless to say this certainly won't be happening...

    A serious question thou, are we looking to cash in everyone over 28 or on long term deals to load up on draft picks to avoid bottoming out when the Tassie Compromised drafts take place?

    Gees, I’m shocked. I was sure he’s out the door together with Clarry and Trac 🙄

    Garry said, essentially, North asked, Jack went back to Melbourne and the conversation took less than 5 minutes. He's staying at Melbourne, and very happy to be staying at Melbourne

    Seeing Jack in anything other than red and blue would have been so weird. It probably exists in some twisted parallel universe somewhere. Happy to stay in this one.

    It's a classic media beat up to drive the story of the "Imploding Dees" 

    Roos asked Viney, he said no.  And now is in discussions of extending his current contract.

    But that's too boring a story

    Kane Cornes raised this last week on SEN. He just suggested that North needed a certain type of mature aged player who would set high standards. He then used Jack as an example only. He also mentioned our bringing in of Daniel Cross as an example of the type of person North requires. That’s all it was.

    No they are lining up the story that says we give out contracts too easily

    Crossy works at North now I think. Last time I saw him he looked unbelievably fit. He’d still get 20 possessions in the AFL. He was such a hard working player.

    Viney is a loyal warrior. Been through the dark days to a premiership. Can't see it ever happening. If Viney was forced to 'retire' and he wanted to keep going is the only scenario I could possibly see him playing for another club, but even then I'm not sure he would based on principle, that's the impression I get from JV7 - loyal.

    Jack Viney is under contract.

    Pick 2 as starters or forget it.

    We need Jack to teach our young mids and provide leadership.

    He is our Vice Captain.

    Got to laugh. Port wants 2 1st rounders for Houston and he is a very good player. But Jack gives so much more to a team than being a very good player.

    • 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?
