Must be Crossy's Bone Broth special kicking in lol.

If he gets up it will be an amazing recovery and courage act by Viney.

He is built for these kind of games.

No I believe he gnaws on the bones of previous opponents

you beauty.  we need Viney on Monday.   if we are to get anything out of this season we need a win, otherwise itll be 4 losses on the trot and all momentum gone

if he is 50-50 - for Viney that is pretty much 100%. unless the docs pull him, he wont pull out due to pain

The Legend continues to grow!

Yeh Viney was doing light duties with H this morning. Pretty sure he wont be a late Inclusion.

How dare the cub misinform us supporters about how long Viney would be out.  I'm outraged that playing with Buckley's head is considered more important.   Off to the microwave. I go....

I can't see OMac coming out this week.

No point testing his finger out this early, as Roos said, they will test it out on Saturday and then assess.

An extra two days could do wonders.

I also agree but where to fit him in is the problem.

The two that immediately come to mind is Wags and Hunt but they've hardly done anything wrong. Maybe a rest would be possible but with the bye just around the corner it would hardly be warranted.

Replace Kent.

Defensive pressure Solid body. Experience.

I wouldnt see him dropped either... more the case for whom ? 

Harrmes is off the boil, Benken  is bubbling over.  Youd expect maybe an ex Pie to revel in sticking the boot in ( again )

How the defence lines up is more about how their fwd lines up.

I believe the forecast is for a reasonably fair day, no rain. Perfect for footy at the G 

Go Dees, tear then one...

Cant see how Viney could get up. If he does would expect Bugg or VandenBerg to be out.

hmmmmmm

I think that one change makes the most sense 

If Viney gets up (doubtful) could change to Viney for harmes and BenKen for Kent with Trenners to spend time in the forwardline to keep midfield rotation up. 

Fair day no rain? Puts big expectations on Garlett and Dawes to improve from last week. Conditions won't be an excuse if it's dry

but he is (very much) left handed, lh, with a high % of handballs

My bad, dc. It is his right hand.  Viney saw his surgeon on Monday and received a positive report on his right hand.  I guess this means he can handball: splint and bandage around his middle fingers - nice platform to hold the ball to handball with his left. :rolleyes:

I'm sure nothing fazes FIGJAM but I like that he has something extra to think about. To really mess with his head we can name Viney in the final 22 and when final lists are submitted 1hr before the game, replace him with an emergency, if necessary.

Edit: Don't know what to say dc.  Just saw this pic on our website.  It shows his left hand strapped.  So I was right the first time... 160609_Viney.jpg

Maybe this is a case of the right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing...:wacko:

Surely if Viney plays he'll wear some sort of protective glove.

If he gets up he is a freak. I'd rather not risk him to be honest, even though we have to win this game to keep our season relevant.

Now we're really messing with Buckley's head.

Viney has a knuckle injury doesn't he? Whilst having surgery suggests lengthy recovery time in order for the bone to fully heal, I imagine the risks involved in breaking it again are less than other areas of the body. 

He'd have to hit somebody again with his hand or someone would have to kick his knuckle or something for further setback.

I feel like it's super important for him to play this week for a must win game for us. He can miss next week because I can't see us beating the swans in any way. And then there's the bye so that's two weeks off.

Yes, I'm a doctor.

Viney plays.

If he had played last week those two scenarios would have been probable.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
