Here\u2019s Mitchell Woodcock on what the likely price would be for West Coast should they bring in Jack Viney:<\/p>\n
West Coast are set to be asked to cough up a late pick in this year\u2019s draft in exchange for Jack Viney should he decide to leave Melbourne and continue his career at the Eagles.<\/p>\n
Viney is weighing up a move to Perth or to remain at the Demons where he has two more years on his contract despite being told by coach Steven King he would struggle for midfield minutes next season.<\/p>\n
The 32-year-old toured the Eagles\u2019 facilities and had a medical last week before going on holiday with his family where he is expected to make a decision around his future.<\/p>\n
Essendon had been another contender for the 238-game midfielder, but they withdrew from the race on Monday morning as they look to prioritise their young midfielders on their list under new coach Mark McVeigh.<\/p>\n
Should Viney decide to continue his career at West Coast, the Eagles would have to trade for the son-of-a-gun before the trade deadline next Wednesday.<\/p>\n
An industry source told The West Australian the Demons would not ask a hefty price for Viney, with a third or fourth round pick in this year\u2019s draft expected to be enough to get a deal done.<\/p>\n
The Eagles currently hold their own third-round pick (No.43) as well as one tied to Hawthorn (No.56) and a pair of picks in the fourth round including their own (No.62) and one tied to the Western Bulldogs (No.71).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Here\u2019s Mitchell Woodcock on what the likely price would be for West Coast should they bring in Jack…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":917798,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[638,53746,64,63,10124,588,85,7067],"class_list":["post-917797","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-afl","tag-afl-trades","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-fremantle-dockers","tag-sport","tag-sports","tag-west-coast-eagles"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/917797","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=917797"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/917797\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/917798"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=917797"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=917797"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=917797"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
