Player Watch #7: Jack Viney (VC) - in until 2028

[Tulip]

I'm gonna be angry if so, really want Toumpas and this just strengthens GWS

 

[Viney]

Reports 3 to GWS for Hogan 13 to GC for Caddy

From the Age:

11.08am GWS has played a role in the complex deal which has sent Jack Viney to Melbourne for only a second round draft pick. Gold Coast traded its pick two to GWS for pre-listed 16-year-old Jack Martin, meaning they did not bid for Viney. Michael Gleeson reports that Melbourne is close to securing a trade for its pick three (and possibly pick 13) to GWS for WA pre-listed key position star Jesse Hogan. Neither Martin or Hogan will be able to play in 2013, as they are too young, but both are extremely highly-rated. If Melbourne uses both picks No.3 and No.13 to secure Jesse Hogan, it could complicate their efforts to snare Collingwood big man Chris Dawes. It was believed the Demons would have to use the No.13 pick as part of a deal to get the out-of-favour Magpie

JFC. WTF is it with all these rumours of us overpaying for shit.

I thought Caddy didn't want to come to us?

 

[Viney]

I thought Caddy didn't want to come to us?

Who really knows

I mean this line from Harrington was more reassuring:

Harrington also dismissed media reports suggesting rival AFL players did not want to come to Melbourne.

“There are players who do want to come to our club, but I can’t say who they are,” he said.
Plus, we all know the media just "gutfeel" writes stories about us

If we're gonna trade any of our 1st rounders, we need to be getting stars in return, or a very nice sweetener.

On topic: heck YEAH!

Hoorah Melbourne. I love seeing F/S selections go to their Fathers club!

 

[Mofra]

Viney for 26. You bastards. Utter, utter bastards.

 

[mufassa]

Great result - 4 of the best 13 kids in a fantastic draft will really help with your climb back up the ladder. I think football was the winner today.

Reports are that we're going to be using our picks as trade bait.

Hehe... thanks mate. Hoping things improve for you guys next year too

Also well said.

Noticing you've had to deal with that Essendon flog "The Prosecutor" too - real genius isn't he

You guys can't complain - Wallis and Libba

Plus - we deserved some luck after our last and only F/S selection was....Chris Johnson

 

[jhong]

Welcome home Jack Viney .

 

[The Goon]

Viney for 26. You bastards. Utter, utter bastards.

Don't know what you are so upset about. After all, he's apparently only worth pick #26.

 

[Bluelegs]

Honestly this is better value than Daniher for pick #10. Which is in itself amazing value.

You mean Viney and whichever spuds Nostalgic Neeld and Horrible Harrington choose

 

[ThePuppetMaster]

If we trade pick 3 or 4 I will be so pissed off.

If we want Luke Rounds - ****ing take him in the PSD!!

 

[Marlowe]

Reports 3 to GWS for Hogan 13 to GC for Caddy

Rumored we're thinking about it, no decision has been made yet (hopefully it does not happen). And Caddy really, really doesn't want to come here.

With Viney on board, so much for 'bruise free' footy. Can't wait to see him in action in a Dees jumper.

 

[Samsara]

Welcome aboard Jack!

 

[Carusiii]

too bad wojo retired, im sure jack would've liked to play on him again

 

[melbournemartin]

As if we would pay pick 3 and 13 for Hogan when Gold Coast only payed pick 2 for Martin.

Pick 3 for Hogan and Pick 13 for Caddy wouldn't be too bad. Caddy is still a highly rated youngster and has a bit of development under him. With Hogan we'd be getting a young gun but just a year later. Besides, he'd get a year in our reserves to toughen him up.

Trading picks 3 or 4 for Dawes/Wellingham wouldn't be good though. I'd consider 13 though.

Hard to miss in this Draft - especially early - Viney, 3, 4 and 13 is huge. Would be amazed if you traded 3 or 4 - just does not make any sense in your current situation. Wellingham and Dawes are stop gaps - start with 4 hungry kids to develop together.

Trust me, does not need.

Had a chance to soak it all in. Great day for the club after so many terrible 2012 moments.
