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

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

    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: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
