Jack Viney explores AFL trade options with West Coast and Essendon
Melbourne veteran Jack Viney is exploring his future in the AFL following encouragement from the Demons to seek new opportunities. Viney, who has two years remaining on his contract, is a primary target for several clubs as the trade period approaches.
West Coast is considered a strong contender for his signature. Viney is scheduled to fly to Perth to tour the Eagles' facilities after being impressed by a recent pitch from the club's coaching staff. Essendon is also heavily interested in the 32-year-old, viewing him as a potential midfield replacement for Zach Merrett, who is expected to move to Hawthorn.
Other notable movement in the league includes Luke Pedlar's decision to join Port Adelaide from Adelaide, and interest from various clubs in players like Sam Marshall, Jack Bowes, and Jordan Ridley.
