it's only a toe, dv8 :lol:

Only a toe, kept Frost out for around 6 months. It troubled him for more than 12 months.

Conservative with injuries especially early season is crucial.  We can take risks if need be later in the season IF we are desperate.

 

I would rather have Tmc cheery ripe, before he comes into the side.  I don't want him tormented by this injury, all through the season.

Viney came back too soon last year, didn't end well.

Gawn came back too soon last year, didn't end well.

Watts came back under rehabbed last year, stuffed our season.  Didn't end well.

 

Its no surprise that our momentum went into a downward spiral, when these players started to return to the team, all too soon.

2017 didn't end well for the Mfc.

    you did see my emoticon, dv8?

    btw does anyone know which toe it is? seems to be on right foot because training video shows him kicking with left foot.

    Not sure whether a sore toe would be more painful in the foot kicking the ball or planted on the ground thereby taking the full weight. Presumably others on Demonland have experience and can advise.

    Also troublesome in packs, around wandering boots.

    But is it the toe, or an ankle?

    These days with so much mis-information, its really hard to know what the truth is.

    But the reality is, its really tough to ruck with buggered feet.  And to play CHF.

     

    Imperative we don't take risks before the season even starts.

     

    You can play with a cracked rib. You can play with a crack in the jaw.

    But try to run and jump in a game, with only one good foot, let alone having to kick on the run.

    My questions for Mr Misson are:

    If Tom McDonald is feeling so much better now after 10 days off legs then why wasn't he given 10 days off legs when he first felt sore 8 weeks ago?

    AND

    Why did he play in the AFLX shambles at on the Etihad car park if there was knowledge that he had any sort of niggle that could be exacerbated by a firm surface?

    Careful Spence, too much logic in your questioning.

    My thoughts exactly!

    Why, oh why do we take chances with foot issues.  Thought we had learnt with Trengove and Viney to not let them play with delicate injuries that can only improve with rest!  Risks are too high! 

    Very short-sighted - may win a game or two but risk have our best players out for an extended period of time.

    All the more important now that we have a decent run with injuries can’t afford to lose too many more best 10 players, I would be surprised if we see Tom and jack before mid year

    If we can win enough games without viney and McDonald when they return they will be cream on a pretty good cake

    2 important players yes, but otherwise the list is in pretty good shape if we can stay that way I think we will be ok

    MFCSS alive and well for 2018.

    I hate seeing injuries to key players as much as anyone else but our challenge now is to get on with the task of putting 22 players on the field and getting the job done.

    If stupidity was an Olympic sport, there are a number of employees of the MFC that would be strong favourites to bring home the gold medal in their respective weight divisions.

    Not only do we allow Jack Viney to destroy his foot by playing him early against all prevailing medical wisdom, we allow Tom McDonald to do the same thing six months later. At least Viney's problems stem from regular season matches - the club was stupid enough to let McDonald play a shitty exhibition game two months out from the season. 

    Given the countless half truths and outright lies spoken by everyone from the coach down since Viney's initial injury, I can only assume that we will spend the next 23 weeks enduring the same regarding McDonald's problem. Time for the club to man up and admit to their errors of judgement and give honest timelines for the returns of both Jack and Tom.

    PS. Vandenberg - indefinite, McKenna - indefinite. So glad my membership dollars are paying for these two to not play football for the club.

    Viney and TMac to miss 6 to 8 weeks, as per Goody's presser

    Just heard this on SEN, damn this sucks.

  • Quote

    The level of honesty we get from the club re injuries is really poor. So if they are saying up to 8 weeks then its much longer than that. Don't believe the spin. Was going to be round 1, then round 2/3, then whenever. Serious longer term concerns with Viney now which bring into question the quality of our sports science  and medical teams. When are we going to hold them to account? Disgraceful

    The 6 doesn't surprise me. 10 days off legs, then 10-14 days reloading, then training and vel games adds up.

    Plus, probably a shorter time frame than the dreaded 426. ?

    The club isn't going to know how Viney or anyone for that matter responds when they ramp up their training... I'm sure 2 weeks ago the aim was round 1 for Viney. He joins in full training & pulls up sore, how can the club know how he'll pull up & respond. Same with TMac, he missed the last JLT with the hope he'll respond with 2 weeks rest & clearly he hasn't & now the best course of action is to be cautious & rest it... They could miss 12+ weeks until they join in training & pull up fine no'one will know

    Can we please have a new forum added to Demonland... perhaps call it The Chicken Little Forum (MFCSS is so passe)

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
