JACK Viney will be presented with the opportunity to explore his rights as a free agent come the end of the 2020 season.

But despite some whispers externally, Simon Goodwin has no doubt his vice captain’s playing future will be in the red and blue.

“I think it comes with the territory of being a free agent,” Goodwin said.

“Jack Viney is a quality human being and a quality player, and if you’re another club, of course you’d be interested.

“But Jack’s a passionate Melbourne man.

“We love Jack and he loves his footy club and we’re confident he’ll be at our footy club moving forward.”
