Yup.  Toes can be very tricky to get right and strangely debilitating when injured.  Frost and Sandilands have both missed seasons with toe injuries and Bernie last year was a shadow of himself whilst playing with an injured toe.  

Take the time.  Get it right.

Yup

We don't NEED TMc right now, with our backups. 

 

But We do NEED TMc late in the season, fully fit; heading towards September, Springtime footy. 

Its a must, we need his marking power & his running power, to cover the miles.

 

I don't care if he misses the next 6 weeks, as long as we get him right and in Full running fitness, come the half way mark. 

He is now one of our major keys to any success we might experience, come finals.

    Plus it is meant to be wet on Sunday so as long as our forwards chase and tackle we should be fine.

    50% chance of a shower, chiefly in the morning, total rainfall 1-2mm.

    By 3.20 it will hardly be "wet".

    Sounds like the rectus femoris group for Oliver,

    I thought he was in the rehab group.

    Is the rectus femoris group a sub-group to the rehab group.

    Does he have to get out of the rectus femoris group into the rehab group then from there back into the main group. Sounds a long way off to me. Big doubt for Sunday.

    Just as long as he's not in the rectus season group.

    Sounds like the rectus femoris group for Oliver, at the front of the thigh, attaching around the knee and upper tibia. One related connector is across the top edge of the patella (kneecap) and suspiciously, this may be the site of discomfort. Should be right to play in he was moving freely at this point. Agree about Oliver's importance as a player as he gets the ball out or to a teammate at most contests.

    Where is the, 'rectus femoris' ?

    Sounds like a lingering injury?

    Still unsure as to why Brayshaw was MIA this morning.

    And hi to Ben if he's reading.

    With Viney out we don't have 7 other midfielders better - Oliver, Petracca, Jones, Tyson, Salem, Harmes. A fit and healthy Gus is next ahead of Stretch and Maynard.

    The rectus is quite close to the dardenells, where my great uncle was shot in WW1. He couldn't sit down for a month, much less play footy.

    I questioned this after JLT1 but I think his form in the 2nd game ensured he will play round 1.

    Yes, I agree mate! Just showed a knack of doing the little things last game and showed he could fit in the backs, middle, or the forwards with his couple of snags at the end

    IMO, Harmes' form might be a turning point in the Viney saga. He needs the imposed 'leash' to be taken off, that's all, as Harmes does surprising things unexpectedly and I'd consider that he has much more of these 'moments' held in abeyance. He is relatively quick, explosive, tough as nails - and very much a 'keen' team member - with most of the goods to drive the ball and teammates into positive play. And, of course, he is another year wiser.

    If anyone is heading down to training today we'd appreciated a training report including who is in the rehab group. Thanking you in advance.

    A detailed report on Viney would be ideal. Is he walking? Did he run? Did he wear footy boots or just runners? Is he alive? All of these things need to be answered or the site may crash again.....

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
