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?

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

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.


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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
