So what exactly is wrong with Viney?He was listed as concussed wasn't he?

So when will he be right?

Concussion, just needs a bit of a rest i think

Posted

For round 2, Mitch Clark's "TBC" has transmogrified into an "indefinite", Jesse Hogan remains a "TBA" which means he definitely won't be right for round 1, Chris Dawes is treading water and a few blokes listed as "test" are, in all likelihood, being considered for the LTI. Expect a few changes on Thursday night.

Mitch Clark (personal leave) indefinite

Chris Dawes (calf) 2-3 weeks

Jack Fitzpatrick (concussion) test

Colin Garland (ankle) test

Jesse Hogan (back) TBA

Mark Jamar (foot) 1 week

Tom McDonald (corked thigh) test

Jordie McKenzie (foot) test

Aidan Riley (leg) 1 week

F--king DAWES!

Perhaps it's time to "correct him".

Misson via the MFC twitter just listed T-Mac and Fitzmagic as 50/50. To ever play again.

I must admit, I feel the same as you do C & B. What started as a "tightness" in the calf from a intraclub has turned into a constant 2-3 weeks. I mean what really happened?? Did he rip the muscle off the bone or something? Is it a compound fracture that the med staff didn't notice at first??? I'm thinking 223 is the new 426. I think some of these guys who are on good money should toughen up a bit. Now before everybody jumps down my throat, I ask you this - would the great Jimmy Stynes have been out there playing? We all know the answer.

I swear it has gotten way worse than it used to be - how many dollars are being thrown around in trying to manage these 'elite sportsmen' who seem to be made out of crepe paper, are all these so-called experts in sports science making any difference whatsoever, I would hate to see the state of our list without them, half of demonland would be taking the field. It is the same every single year and I have had enough, honest to God, along with the pathetic rabble that umpiring has become it is turning me away from the sport.

I thought he played in the Casey praccy match last weekend? Or is this a new injury..?

He is no big loss Grapeviney.

Worry about McDonald and Fitzpatrick coming up for this weekend.

Dawes and Hogan are no surprise. I'm pumped to see Garlo almost ready to resume though as he gives our backline some extra experience, or we have the option to use him as a forward target while Dawes and Hogan return. If our backline of Chip, McDonald and Georgiou stays fit then we have a little more flexibility if we need it.

Seems like the medical staff are so cautious these days that, if the guy has a runny nose, he's put on ice as a precautionary measure, and told to rest for "two to three". Have to wonder if they've taken it just a tad too far...

Posted

Also bleedin' frustrating the the VFL don't have a game this week. Misso said both Jamar and Garlo would have played with Casey this week, if there was a game. Suppose it would have been the same for Viney.

Just wish the VFL was in complete sync with the AFL season. makes it so hard for guys coming back from injury if there's no VFL game for them to come back in.

I don't think it has anything to do with our resources or FD personnel C and B

I believe there are some people that for whatever reason cannot take the punishment that modern AFL demands.

Some rarely have soft tissue injuries and others just seem to move from one bout to the next with long periods out in between.

We seem to have the luck of recruiting more of them than most others.

It also does not help that our list is not as good as most other clubs

i.e our good player stocks are lower to start with and a few injuries to the better players means there are no one to take up the slack.

My father used to say donkeys never get injured the race winners seem to all the time.

Look at the MFC, Pedersen never seems to get a soft tissue injury but Dawes has them constantly.

Luck of the draw i believe.

Just maddening that we always seem to be on the wrong end every year.

You believe him?

He can say that Vagg without fear he will be proved wrong.

They need some Nathan Jones blood in them, he goes in harder than anyone and seems invincible. *touch wood*

Most accurate post you have ever made :)

That's code for "they won't play".

It agrivates the bejesus out if me.

The irritating thing in all of this is that amid all the talk of ''we don't want to rush them" and "we're being overly conservative" came the admission that Dawes was rushed back too quickly.

I don't expect the docs / fitness guys to get it right 100 per cent of the time, and injuries / recovery can be unpredictable in a sport as intense as AFL, but they obviously got the Dawes call wrong, and may well have done the same with Hogan given that his back was sore prior to the Geelong game, yet still played, and is no closer to resuming despite a spell on the sidelines.

I'm with you... Maybe not on that particular quote but the lack of transparency between the club and it's supporter base is pretty disgusting.

I mean, what the hell is the point of the 'injury update' hosted by Burgen when Misson gives us absolutely nothing. Misson's response, especially when it comes to Dawes' injury is absolutely pathetic. They should either tell us what is really going on, or not give injury updates at all.

Dawes clearly has some ongoing injuries with his 'leg', why do we continue to read 2-3 weeks.. Why is everything kept so quiet.

Shits me to tears and expect more as a paid up MFC member.

    TRAINING: Monday 20th January 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training. GATOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS There were 5 in the main rehab group, namely Gawn, Petracca, Fullarton, Woewodin and Lever.  Laurie was running laps by himself, as was Jefferson.  Chandler, as has been reported, had his arm in a sling.  Lindsay did a bit of lap running later on. Some of the ''rehab 5'' participated in non contact drills and b

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
