Viney did not require anesthetic but they had to call for a chainsaw to perform the operation. The surgeon is recovering in Epworth and is expected to make a full recovery. The chainsaw did not survive.

    Viney was clearly carrying an injury from the Port game onwards. I'm not saying it in hindsight i have said it in other threads previously.

    Given he has played with a broken leg and severely broken hand previously i am guessing this injury was decent given the effect on his output.

    Any indication he's shown up at the Club yet?  There's media coverage re the bods at Essendon, St Kilda & Port, but nothing about our boy.  Would have hoped he was keen to put in an appearance and hit the ground running.  Anyone heard anything?

    Wrong thread Vagg but anyway Goodwin said today in his press conference he expects Melksham to be back at the club within the next few days.

    LOL.  Oops!  Wondered why it didn't show up in the milkshake thread!  Don't mind me!  Thanks for setting me straight, Ethan!

    Noticed that he also came in 5th in MVP Most Courageous Players as well - Well done Jack and a speedy recovery. Didn't he say in his acceptance speech that he was heading to Bali the day after the "Bluey Award"?? - Go Jack!!

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
