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.

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

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.

Can’t we just be happy he’s signed, might be one year to long but who cares.

Some supporters are a miserable lot

Just wait for the media boffins to start getting stuck into us about the length of the extension.

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.

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. 

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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #18 Jake Melksham

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.
