Reports: Melbourne Demons have agreed to sign top experienced superstar to the team in a…..Read more

More than two hundred games have been played by the dynamic midfielder, who is now thirty years old. He has been with the Demons since the beginning of his career in 2013, and he has also participated in the club’s 2021 AFL title campaign.

Despite the fact that he is under contract with the Demons until at least the end of the 2025 season, Tom Morris of Channel 9 has reported that North Melbourne is planning to make a bid to acquire Viney during the trade period that is currently taking place.

“Todd Viney, who is Alastair Clarkson’s [North Melbourne head coach] right hand man has removed himself from any of these discussions to remove the obvious conflict of interest, but what I can tell you is that North Melbourne have expressed interest in former Melbourne captain, best and fairest, and premiership player Jack Viney,” Morris explained to reporters.

It is widely believed that the Demons will have little interest in letting Viney leave. In fact, it is more probable that they will try to re-sign the senior player, who has the potential to retire as a one-club player if he does so. Viney was selected by the club with the 26th overall pick in the 2012 National Draft.

Morris, on the other hand, made a veiled reference to the fact that the Roos’ early approach for Viney contains a wealth of information regarding what they intend to accomplish throughout this year’s trade period.

“Now Viney is contracted until the end of 2025 and Melbourne sees him playing on beyond that, so there is no hint they would even accept a trade,” Morris stated when asked about the player’s future.

“The Roos’ approach, even though it’s early days, speaks to the clubs approach to bring in senior bodies.”

Clarkson’s team is currently in the seventeenth spot on the Australian Football League standings, just four points ahead of the Richmond Tigers coming into this weekend’s matches. The club is in need of a busy trade period in order to turn around what has been a terrible season, which follows another seventeenth place finish from the previous year.
