    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

That is a very pertinent thought.

At least, whoever he ( Viney) plays against, will not have to worry about getting a broken jaw, in questionable circumstances, when he was just starting off a career.......

From what I can see he has followed the timeline he told Saty in about November. I'm not aware of any major setbacks since then. The training reports since Jan have had him running flat out for 2 1/2 months now and he's back in the full training about when he said he would.  His plantafacia injury healed normally the consequent stress fracture was the set back. It's not one of those injuries like a navicular that can be career ending. Trenners injury has spooked us all but that's not what he's got. 

It's true you can't trust anything players or the Club say about injuries but hearing that he's done full training in the main group for about a month now and continues to says all I need to hear. 

I guess one big question is consequent, or just subsequent.

Viney, out, abblett in, we go into the game as underdog's.

We play our best footy when we are underdog's.

I want viney back when he is 100% and not a day before!

For those wondering with Viney, listen to Dom Tyson's interview last night, it is all about k's in the legs, he hasn't done enough and won't have by Rd 1

Bring him back early just asking for a soft tissue injury

 

Edit   I am sure Viney will be asking how he can get the extra k's in before Rd 1, think this is a very public NO from the club

I would rather miss him for 5 weeks, than have him struggle for the next 10 years with this injury.

But he was training at high intensity two weeks ago albeit on his own and with 3 assistant coaches for large parts of training and then joining in for group exercises at times, as I witnessed. But has been absent lately at training? Has there been a set back in the last 2 weeks?

Maybe he is doing intense training away from the club, & prying eyes?

Agree. Never going to play.  Needs more time and fitness. Maynard now in. 

You have to be kidding. I sure hope the likes of ANB and Harmes are ready. They are much better at this stage.

For periods of last season when Maxy, Chunk and Viney went down, I was impressed by our ability to just find a way.

We need to do that again.

Yep it's what good sides do.

"Whilst he has not had any setbacks in his rehab program, Jack has not completed enough football sessions."

You can do all the gym work and running etc. you want, but sooner or later, if you're a footballer, you have to train playing football.

We all could understand why he might be keeping away from those prying eyes.

Hindsight is always 20/20 but with finals on the line, can you blame the club for trying to rush him back as earlty as possible?

My word I blame the Club.  Nothing hindsight about it. Thought it was dumb then & still think it was dumb. Why on earth risk a champion player.  We know how difficult foot injuries can be.

Medical  degrees must be going cheap now, with so many medical specialists on DL,who know far more about injuries and rehab than our club medical and fitness staff.

You don’t need a medical degree to see the risks involved in bringing a player back too early from a foot injury. Do you?

The medical staff are paid for those kinds of decisions. Paid well. The lack of foresight was quite astonishing if you ask me.

I also find it weird that Goodwin and Mahoney initially said Viney would be ready to play round 1 and maybe even a JLT game a few weeks ago. Yet now the msg is that he hasn’t had enough conditioning or kms to be considered ready.

If he hasn’t had any hiccups, then wouldn’t they have known that he wouldn’t be in contention for round 1 given the lack of conditioning he’s had thus far in pre-season?

I know plenty of supporters don’t care about this stuff. But the lack of clarity and mixed msges surrounding injury at the MFC has always been an annoyance imo.

Or constantly reading between tje lines, and looking for any excuse to carp

Viney looks ready to go at training, he has told me he is right on track, the Club are being extra cautious.....great I say

Again, thanks for sharing nothing we don’t already know.

“He’s a chance to play (in the pre-season competition) but definitely round 1.”

That’s a direct quote from Goodwin from Feb 21.

What is the purpose in saying such things if it’s at odds with the reality of his situation? 

I don’t understand it. The club need to be better at communicating. It’s not that hard to say; “Jack will be assessed closer to the eve of the season due to the lack of conditioning he’s had over the pre-season.”

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n
