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.

Will he stay?

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? 

Garry Lyon said on radio this morning that his understanding was that North asked the question and Viney said "no thanks".

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

One less thing to worry about

Correct. They asked the question. He's happy.

Must rate our culture 😁

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.

@Demonland can we change this title of the Thread. It’s too confronting.  Maybe change to Viney looking to stay at Dees … in order to save my blood pressure 

Clarkson confirms interest in Viney as North attempt to “extract” experienced players from rival clubs

Clarkson is still gunning for Viney.

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.
