Dee Viney Intervention

It’s a great story. A kid getting a second opportunity playing for the team that he grew up supporting. Already suffered an ACL injury in his young career. Got himself a running coach in the off season. Resilient and hungry and doing whatever he can to get the best out of himself. Love it. Go get em Jai!!!

Agree, are we getting too top heavy off field. What’s he going to do that should be covered by Guerra, Richardson and Lamb?????

All good questions DeeZone. Be interesting to know the job description and is it a match day “strategy” role or more an off field direction of the club “ strategy” role. I was hoping for a Craig Jennings type role.

Couldn’t agree more, even a sit down casual q & a. I think our socials have been pretty good but have missed an opportunity here. Kingy has had his feet under the desk for a bit now so you’d love to get his thoughts on how things are going so far, how was the camp,who’s flying on the track, who has surprised him etc. Thank goodness for our demonland community training reports.

Couldn’t agree more. Jeffo is a neat player, by that I mean good hands and a good kick. As you alluded there are a number ahead of him purely because they play with some physicality and a real intensity around that. He needs to find some and find some quickly. I genuinely hope he does or he will end up being a Sam Weideman who I also think was a neat footballer. We need depth and real competition for spots across all lines to raise performance and climb back up the ladder. I believe we can.

Absolutely bizarre list management

A double hyphen name. Doesn’t get much more Melbourne than that.

We are turning into a development academy for Fremantle

Will need to do reactive change of direction stuff and then start some contact work before getting the all clear.

They can have Alice Springs

Excuse my ignorance on this but do we really need a tunnel to get from our admin building to the middle of the track. It’s not like we would be training in the middle of a race meet. Sure a tunnel would be nice but if that is what the hold up is let’s just pass and build the [censored] thing. Members of the community can use the existing tunnels to access the middle of the track, players and staff could use a gate and walk across the track to get there.

A fair few people live from Port Melbourne down to Mornington. Yet St.Kilda get the rest of the Mornington Peninsula off of Melbourne. We just keep Casey. Makes zero sense. The AFL threw a dart. There was absolutely no justification for taking the Mornington Peninsula Junior Football League off Melbourne as a zone.

It is great, Liv is without a doubt my favourite Melbourne AFLW player. I can relate to her journey as I have been witnessing it with my daughter who did her ACL and torn meniscus in the second quarter of her Grand Final in 2024 missing all of this season. It’s a graft and inspirational to watch the journey. Both will come back physically stronger and more resilient for the experience.

Corey will still be in our NGA. Stingrays had a shocker this year not on male player drafted. Hopefully he has more luck than his brother.

You’re right Dazzle, pure red mist on my behalf.

My mistake, was pure red mist when I saw the changes but didn’t see the transition date at the end of the article.We should be able to draft Prasaad. Make no mistake though we have absolutely been bent over here again. Interesting that Darwin is not allocated to anyone, especially as it was taken off us for Gold Coast. Not that I want it back either….just interesting.

Time to pack it in with the academies. We were denied MAC Andrew, had Darwin as a zone taken off us and given to the Suns and now have the Mornington Peninsula Junior Football league which is a strong competition taken off us and get SFA in return. Good thing we stocked up on smalls in the last draft because we won’t be getting Marcus Prasaad. Equalisation……Bollocks.

No Dazzle but make no mistake we have been screwed over. Our region is the South East Juniors Comp only which is not a particularly strong competition.St Kilda have now got the Mornington Peninsula Juniors, Frankston and Districts Juniors and a large portion of the South Metro Juniors. Stingrays zone is SEJ, MPJFL, FDJFL.

Looks like Hibbins-Hargreaves is off to the WAFL. Has family over there.

St Kilda have been kissed on the (censored) gaining the Mornington Peninsula and keeping Bayside. Huge region choc full of talent. Screwed again by the AFL.

I like it Picket, glad you are on board. I thought you would have been backing up a truck load of manure to dump at the MCG, AAMI Park, Gosch’s, Casey and Caulfield because we didn’t draft a midfielder.

We never played a style conducive to tall forwards. With an attacking game plan and fast ball movement with better disposal into a forward line with structure we will learn about the forwards on our list. I think JVR is set for a break out year in 2026 now that he is not taking the number 1 defender and quick entries into the forward line where he is not constantly outnumbered.

I see this phantom draft and I see Dovaston and Grlj the selections immediately after ours. I feel queasy.

On a side not Melbourne has been reprimanded over its handling of Eden Zanker concussion. GAGF AFL. And have a good look at yourself with your [censored] umpiring and scheduling. Give em Hell Dee’s.
