You gotta be [censored] kidding me

He was playing great too

THis is [censored]

and we are coming up against the toughest teams in the league the next 7 weeks too

We needed Jack possibly more than anyone for these games

[censored]

Cross, who is a LOT older, came back after 4 weeks.

I'm sure Viney can do the same. I have faith in him.

This could be an opportunity for Grimes to get back into the side and be trialed as a run with player. He did a good job on Danger when we won in Adelaide last year.

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.

That's just an unconscious bias in that you notice them more. We have injuries to VFL players all the time

Am I alone in hoping clearance machine Riley comes in? Dont really know the more effective player out of Riley, Michie and Mckenzie

No. You are not alone. I think Riley should play every game.

Grimes only had Dangerfield when he went forward in the last 5 minutes. Vince had him the rest of the time. Grimes is not a good run with player. He gets easily lost around stoppages and isn't a strong tackler. He needs to keep playing half back which is his best position.

McKenzie or Michie are better options.

Toumpas in a tagging role would be a great development opportunity as well. Although Sloane or Danger might be too much to ask.

Poor Viney. Another set back. Just as he starts building form he gets hurt. Story of his career thus far. Hopefully we see him back soon because he is one of our best.

Brayshaw still hasn't built a tank for a full game of footy. Start him and see how he goes. I'm not huge on toumpas but his vfl form might warrant another chance as the sub.

I thought he was tougher than that! A broken leg wouldn't keep Jack Watts out.

For more than two years anyway!!

426 aint bad for a leg.

The question is...

Class/flighty defensive effort or dour scrubber to replace.

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

Definitely spent some time in the Demonland sin bin after that turnover against the Bombers. That being said, he's been fantastic during the first couple weeks of this season. Real shame to lose him, especially considering our draw for the next 4-6 weeks.

For all his Grunt, I think Viney is overrated by many on this site!

Subtle as usual picket!

It had to be our turn for an injury this season. Every other team has seemingly had multiple injury concerns while we've been pretty much unscathed.

Not much we can do about it, hopefully someone else takes the reigns and steps up in his absence.

Apologies, What I also needed to add is that I hope the boy comes back fully fit and ready for the next challenge!

Not denigrating, him but I Do think he is a Tad overrated by many on this board!

Well he would be leading the Bluey with Tom McDonald after 2 reounds

Dont think hes overrated at all

Sheeeit Marty Lyons would have been leading the bluey after his first two rounds of league footy but ?????

he's a sook - should run it off.

Let's just be clear. The guy broke his leg and kept playing. If opposition midfielders aren't scared by now, they're idiots.

Let me guess, we should have picked Wines?

ouch what a stinging barb

Bloody hell.

This crap actually never stops. It never stops!

It's just one guy with a relatively minor injury in the scheme of things - it isn't the end of the world and it certainly isn't anywhere near how bad our injury list has been in previous years!
