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.

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.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
