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.

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!

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!

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo.
