Viney Broken Leg 4-6 weeks

[rjay 24,689]

Was he subbed out? Anyone notice when it happened?

Or did he play the game out?

Must have been a good 21st...

[watchtheeyes 1,417]

I thought Michie was really good towards the end of last year. Can kick the ball and find the footy in tight, seems as though his form has carried on through VFL too.

Get him in there coach!

[The Devil Inside 2,147]

Shame, cos we are seriously lacking midfield depth.

Is Mckenzie the closest to a like for like replacement?

I thought Michie would be the next cab of the rank, but if they want to tag Dangerfield maybe McKenzie

[Nasher 33,607]

Last one out turn off the lights please.

A bit drastic? We now have one best 22 player on our injury list.

Pretty disappointing since he is one of the few to have played 8 solid quarters so far. Wishing him a speedy recovery. An opportunity for someone else to step up now.

[Pates 9,626]

Get him on to the Bone Broth Crossy! Helped you out!

Gutted for him, he was just showing consistent form and I was looking forward to returning to bulldoze some more Crows this year.

Michie comes in for me, sounds like he's had pretty consistent form with Casey and he's a tough body replacement. Toumpas is another chance but different players, plus I'd like to see him dominate a couple of weeks before takes the step up again.

[watchtheeyes 1,417]

Either way.. Brayshaw surely must start now!

[Jaded No More 68,692]

Already having the worst day ever.

Keep those blows coming!

[Bang Bang Bang 5,784]

We still have the smallest injury list in the league. Disappointed for Viney but some of the reactions on here are way over the top. It's also a good chance for Brayshaw to step up in his absence.

[beelzebub 23,254]

Either way.. Brayshaw surely must start now!

was my veiled reference in other thread... necessity might advance his cause here. Might be the beginning on something. ..as opposed cameo that is

[Sir Why You Little 36,761]

cursed again...

oh well what's done is done.

[Sir Why You Little 36,761]

Sums up perfectly how i feel right now

Stanley Kubrick must have been a Demon Supporter!!

[DistrACTION Jackson 8,284]

The eagles have lost Brown and mackenzie for the season, Collingwood lost sidebottom for 8 weeks, North lost dal santo for 8-12 weeks...... get over it ppl!

This is why our club is so pi$$ weak, we always have a sad anytime one player gets injured. It's football! We will get key injuries all the time!

Great opportunity for Michie to come in and cement a spot!

I agree with on the condition that I can crack the absolute sads if/when Jones or Hogan ever get injured

[Gorgoroth 12,786]

I think we are allowed a few hours to show our in happiness.

I think the happy police can deal with it surely.

why did you have to make my day even worse Curry? Show a bit of sensitivity please.

[Forest Demon 4,681]

We have had a relatively a good run with injury so far this year, just a pity it happened to be one of the small handful who have strung 2 good games together.

[FireOath 290]

I'd want Brayshaw for a full game over Riley/Michie/Mckenzie.

[Bluey's Dad 3,419]

Yep, Viney was looking great in both games. Hard at it, great tackles and much better disposal than last season.

Gutted.

For the first "start of season" in how many years?

[Slartibartfast 16,968]

The reaction is funny given the queries about him before the first game.

[mdemonski2 403]

I know we only have a small injury list at the moment.

But we do seem to get injuries to more best 22 players and rarely to our 'depth' players it seems.

Bugger.

[Bombay Airconditioning 6,224]

I thought we'd all moved on from McKenzie.

[WhyAlwaysMe 237]

I'd want Brayshaw for a full game over Riley/Michie/Mckenzie.

l'd play all 4

If you're going to break a leg, 4-6 weeks is an absolute best case scenario!

Yes it's a terrible shame that a young gun will miss a month, but gee, we have a very, very healthy list overall. Let's hope that whoever comes into the team to take Jack's place is in-form, hungry and determined to keep that spot!

(This thread is a far cry from the hysteria following the NAB challenge match against Essendon)

It cant be too bad a fracture.

He was probably more aware of it as a local soreness that crippling pain. Had scans and lo and behold...tis a break me lad. But what kind ?

If he can keep the atrophy to a minimum he may well be back training in 4
