Deep Dive for Viney

So Webber et.al.(the medical folk)...

I am freaking out about the foot injury, shades of Trengove etc.

Would there be any value in oxygen therapy for this injury. We need him in finals, as i'm sure everyone agrees.

At the moment he is looking 4 to 6 and it is a huge disaster. Please tell me he will be up for the elimination final?

I am sure it is worth the cash.

We haven't been told just what injury he has (and I don't mind that by the way) 

If it is bony my understanding is that hyperbaric O2 wouldn't help much but it could were it soft tissue such as scar tissue.

Happy to be corrected though by anyone with greater knowledge 

Isn't this current injury unrelated to his past one? And the reason they're being super conservative is so as to not inflame the other injury?

 

I suspected from when he first went out with an unrelated foot injury it was in all likelihood a stress reaction or stress fracture 

stress reaction is lower down the scale but still requires rest and non weight bearing 

I hope first final is possible at it will be four weeks but that is probably possible not likely 

hyperbaric is more for wounds leg ulcers where the evidence is of benefit 

any process requiring healing theoretically may benefit but I don't believe there is any evidence to support it 


Why do I get the feeling this injury is very bad and the club is covering it up. Let's hope it's not a Clark/Trengove type

oh FFS sake....chill out...MFCSS at its finest. He has been upfront about it from the get go...he was weight bearing on a different part of his foot to compensate for his previous foot injury and has stress issues. its not navicular...chill

 

Whether a long term or short term injury, it's important he's not rushed back.

You could see he had lost power which meant he struggled to stick a tackle, couldn't break from the contest & was a liability.

Jack wants to play which is admirable but....

Hence it is utter bulltish for the club to say that it is unrelated to the original foot injury. I know we desperately needed to beat Port Adelaide, but it was inevitable that there would be this sort of consequence from rushing Viney back too early. Now we've most likely lost him for the season. Just plain dumb from all concerned.

I hope not obviously but have the same concerns. 

I would hate to be the Dr and co that has to tell Jack to rest, he must be going crazy not be able to anything?

Explains his low possession /tackling (for him ) last few games. ( he did not get a kick last week )

Could we trade him for Seb Ross until the end of September. Then he could come back and if Seb liked us , he could stay. (Would take some negotiation)


The bye week before the finals is a god send. It'll hopefully give Viney enough time to get fit enough to play finals. We need his intensity and ball winning ability out there. It'll also give others a chance to get over any niggles.

Hope he is right for finals!

A few things in life are inevitable, but this isn't one.

Hindsight Bias. 

If he was done for the season, I'd trust the club to tell us that was the case. I believe he's got the classic 426 and the club are massaging this message taking account for the bye.

because nobody trusts Misso when he says 426 anymore.


Jack Viney would play on one leg if it meant playing finals.

Pound for pound there isn't a tougher player in the comp.

He will be back this season.

You don't think that's an issue?
I would rather not risk [censored] up his foot when he still has many seasons with the MFC

We win today we play finals.

If Viney is fit he plays,  if not he doesn't.

If he doesn't, someone else does.  

It is what it is!

Is that a haiku?

As tough as Jack is I dont want hime playing if there is any chance of a longer term injury ne: Trenners. Naturally and the medicos will make the right call when that time comes. Just want to win today first!

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
