I'm not sure if it's been said and sorry if it has but Viney's latest foot injury is different to the plantar fascia related surgery he had..

That's quite worrying. Mahoney specifies this on our website.

General manager of football operations Josh Mahoney said Viney’s foot injury was different to his previous setback;

“He pulled up sore in his foot, but his previous plantar fascia injury is fine,” he told melbournefc.com.au.

“He’s got a different injury to his foot, which he pulled up sore from on the weekend.

“He’ll have this weekend off and we expect him to be available next week.”

Presumably he has had a MRI +/- bone scan.  Hope they aren't hiding something.

Clearly being nursed through to the end of our campaign this year.  Week off then Pies then another week off and so on

Viney's foot injuries are a concern and need a good rest.

Dont rush him back. If he is available for 1st final assuming we make it. Play him then. That will give him 4 weeks of injury management.

If we are going to win against the Lions and Pies I am sure the boys will step up and cover his loss.

Sure there was a poster on here just after Jesse broke his collarbone whose doctor mate told him if he had a plate inserted he could possibly play in 2 weeks if no complications.

Stretch for Viney. Obviously weid out for Hogan. Just put Hogan at FF.

Strange that JKH did not get a role in Viney's absence.

None of the VFL regulars have grabbed their oppotunity when granted.

Perhaps Maynard this week but not full of confidence.

The Hogan selection is a surprise... will be interesting to see if we can get our forward line functioning again. It has not really worked for several weeks.

Another big game... Go Dees

This will be Jesse's 50th game!

It has taken 4 difficult years, with many obstacles.  Have huge admiration for how you have tackled and overcome them. 

Congratulations on the milestone. 

Hope the team bring it home for you and for us!

Viney is a massive loss, especially against Brisbane's midfield.

I was always concerned that his foot would never get a chance to recover by coming back so soon.

Apart from his injured foot, I'm not too concerned that he's out of the team. Having Jones back, particularly if he plays like last week, really picks up the slack in the stoppages/clearance area.

Also, with Gus back in the team we've picked up another very handy player who based of last weeks game will help cover any loss Viney presents.

A second week of Brayshaw magic is keenly awaited.

We start well, break their spirits and cruise to a win. 

We get a slow start, give them belief, and there'll be a lot of nervous Dees fans!

Please can we just do it easy for once?

Brisbanes mids are surprisingly good on paper. No idea how they are bottom.

beams, zorko, rocklif, mccluggage, Lewis Taylor, rich, bastinac and a very handy mobile ruckman.

They have class in defense with Andrews and mcstay. Both have played 50+ games and forwards with hipwood.

wouldnt surprise me if they are playing finals in a couple of years.

Taylor, Rich, Bastinac are very average. 

Rockliff has never been an impact player, despite his big numbers.

Beams is good when hes the cream on top of a great midfield. Zorko is having a great season but hes no star.

They can hang against the bottom teams, but our midfield blows them off the park.

Zorko has had a great few seasons and is a star. Would be a massive player if in Geelong or Adelaide or any other top side. I'm worried about Hipwood tbh, another gorilla (or giraffe) fwd. Our midfields will either neutralize each other, or we'll come out on top and the rest of our class across the board should shine (Jetta, Garlett, Hibbo, Petracca etc) Having TMAC back reflects this dire need to sure up our last line of defence over the next month with Frost assumedly falling our of favor. We can afford to let our mids and forwards be creative enough to create the scores, if we're willing to build an elite defensive unit and let the chips fall where they may in other areas.

Has anyone else noticed that Bontempelli ALWAYS tips against the Dees in the Herald Sun footy tipping?  What's that all about? !!

Same. Overall I have been happy with Frost & O Mac's development down back this year.

Could there be more to him not being selected? I'm sure his contract it up at years end, and the paranoia in me says he is off to another club. Again, this is based on noting but my paranoia.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
