    What sort of complete [censored] writes this about Viney whose leadership is not in question at all?

    I love Viney but I don't understand why we needed to do such a long deal given he had one year left.

    Similar to Max, the club must be preparing for the future.

    Both in terms of cap space and handing over the reign to the next generation.

    They will help develop the young guns coming through.

    I am confident Max will still be a top liner in three years but less confident in Jack will be in four. Would love to be proven wrong.

    We're following the Geelong model.

    Great to have Jack re-signed until 2028.

    Except that Geelong don't hand out 4 years to guys in their 30s.

    I love Jack Viney and never thought he'd leave, but a 4 year deal is insane.

    Fantastic! Barring a catastrophe, he should get to 300 games.

    A bit disappointed Lamby didn't consult with DeeSpencer prior to this, but I'll take it.

    Huh? Jack wrote it. It's clearly a thinly veiled swipe at the media who think the culture is [censored] cos if it was he wouldn't be bringing his daughters into the club?!?

    What are you talking about? Jack is 30. Tom Hawkins is 36... Dangerfield 34, Duncan 33 and Selwood played until he was 35.

    It's not beyond the realm of possibility that Jack will get another deal after this one...

    Such a poor show of reactionary-ism from this terrible club to snap-sign Gawn and Viney on long term contracts just to try in vain to present the image of a functioning footy club.

    Love Viney but is this the right move, he would be 35 by the end of that contact, not many make it that long let alone smallish inside mids.

    4 years for a beat up one dimensional mid who has to nurse a cooked shoulder through half the game. 

    Look I agree that 4 years is a stretch but there is such a thing as shoulder surgery and I've long believed Jack could be very effective in the forward 50.  With Gus and ANB leaving we're desperately short of off-field leadership - Max, Jack, Lever (who you don't rate) and then daylight, to steward a lot of young players on the rise.  IMO we've paid a premium for what Jack can deliver in this area.

    I would think in 2025 his contract will be front loaded and then will gently taper. He may still be worth 1 year contracts after 35. He is Jack Viney

    He is just as big a Legend of the Club as Max, Tracc or Gus

    Happy to be proven wrong but can you find any of them signing a 4 year deal?

    Or even a 3 year deal over 30?

    Wheres the faith between the club and player that they’ll keep playing at the right pay rate for as long as needed.

    4 is bonkers.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
