It's a loophole.  I think you're safe. ;)

I don't agree!  Definitely on thin ice, young Andy!!  (Would the site still function with you on the sidelines...??  LOL)

Most likely. I was away for 3 weeks and no one seemed to notice.  :blink::D

Hmm.  Okay, then.  Just carry on regardless...

Don't like the words Stress fracture in feet, history says what ever the club and player says add a month.  Anzac Eve match return fro Viney

As he said himself, looking for wins to get to finals he came back too early. Now this really does beg the question. Who has the final say as to whether a player is fit or not?? I would suggest that the Medical Staff and fitness people should always have final say. Jack Viney played and the rest is History.

I reckon the discussions then and now would make fascinating listening about this injury and the rehabilitation, not to mention possible ramifications for the future of complications or setbacks. As Jack Viney says the latest injury is located in a  different part of the foot. However, as I have seen in the past injuries like this have a habit of leading to other injuries because of the overcompensation effect. Just my opinion!

It’s hard to know the whole picture of what went on when that decision for him to play was made.  As good as modern medical testing is in professional sport, the medical and fitness team largely rely on the honesty of the player.  Hopefully Viney was completely upfront with them and wasnt trying to be too ‘tough’. (Though that’s one of the things we all love about him.)

Chris Judd spoke recently about how he misled medical staff about how he was feeling in order to get back into the team/training track sooner.  

Players can feel very guilty watching their team struggle without them.

I recollect reading somewhere on this forum, last year, that if Viney played it would not effect his foot, one way or the other.

 My grand ma said it was a bad dream, and i slept with the light on......

Jack's like a young bull at the gate with an attractive heifer in the next paddock atm. Can't wait to get going. Captain or not I hope the club lays it down clearly and firmly to him that he has to meet the requirements that every other player has to meet. No exceptions. Fully recovered, couple of games at Casey just to prove fitness and match-readiness. Time we stopped shooting ourselves in the foot so to speak by rushing players back before they're ready. It's a long season.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
