It is getting tiresome to read from non medical people, who didn't examine his injury, that he came back too soon, especially when we hear from him and club medical staff that the current problems are not the ones that he allegedly came back too soon from.

Fair enough Redders, however as pointed out by others, the current problem may not be the same injury but it would be hard to argue that its not related to the earlier injury.  As we know, a injury may often arise due to problems with other parts of the anatomy. Hamstring, calf soreness, achilles- pain or injury referred from back etc etc

    Fair enough that it MAY be related to the earlier injury, but of course it may not, but it is certainly not hard to argue that it's not related to the earlier injury as we don't know exactly what the earlier injury and the current injuries are.

    Correct me if I'm wrong Red but wasn't his injury last year originally reported as 3 or 4 weeks and he only missed 1 or 2?

    Maybe he doesn't even know if new problems keep surfacing. Then again if it is bad, he and the club may not want fans to know.

    have absolutely no way of knowing but wouldn't be surprised given the shifting time frame.

    it appears that they'll let it take as long as it needs. have to support that.

     

    the club does not want another tack trengove situation. that one was tragic. so would this be.

    I think so but who is to say the 3 or 4 weeks was correct. Maybe it was best guess and then he improved quickly to be fit enough to play.

    The point I am making is that we don't know as we are not Doctors and don't examine the injuries.

    Also it is not an exact science. Oh you have a finger injury that will be 17 days out of footy. It is best guess made on experience and examination.

    You mean you'll know what he tells you.

    And he could tell you anything he wants.

    In conclusion, you'll know no more than any of us here.

    But cool.

    Hope no one on here disagrees with that.

    We do.

    The first injury was plantar fasciitis and the second injury stemmed from the first.  The second injury was a stress fracture in his third metatarsal.

    I agree that we're not privy to any recent sore spots.

    I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that he's 'right on track'.

    No but I think we may have a fair idea.

    It’s all guess work from us. 

    We have no idea despite what some think. 

    If he is back by mid season and raring to go I would take that.

    My gut feel is that we'll see him back around ANZAC day. If he hasn't played a 2s game by then he should probably seek some unconventional advice at some clinic overseas. Or just rest for the year and come back for our cup defence in 2019.

    And by right on track he meant right on track for Round 1.  

    Conclusion - the players give Saty nothing, as we always knew. Case closed.

    Well, it started out as "soreness" then became plantar fasciitis then stressies and at last report was a combination of both plantar fasciitis and stressies - all with wavering levels of seriousness.

    That is the sort of hamfisted story line which says his foot is stuffed.

    Agree with all points.

    In regard to last para, you are probably right as no-one really knows, so opinion only.

    Its a reflection of supporters concern.  A view that takes into account the mistake last season when he played prematurely, together with the 6 months recovery over summer, and continuing doubts about the timing of his comeback.  And the importance to the team in ensuring that he is cherry ripe when he returns.

    I agree with this, and with my albeit limited exposure to medical personnel in the afl - in addressing things that even THEY don't know a prognosis for, the only thing they choose to do is wait. So in essence, the medical team, advised by JV's pain experience will proactively be waiting... until inflammation subsides...as they too don't know (not through ignorance, nor malpractice, simply because JV is a sample size of one that every treatment and recover is unique to the individual).

    I've broken the Cuneiform bone before. Was late 20's and it still gives me slight grief every day, 20+ years later. 

    Was also diagnosed with Plantar Fasciitis several months back after a strain at work. Painful little bastard. Definitely makes you walk differently, so as not to feel the stinging pain that goes with it.

     

    I can see why those injuries lead to others.

    I’m confused as to why this thread was started. Does someone have solid information?

    When I was at training on Monday morning, I noticed a medico/doctor inspecting Viney’s foot closely whilst he was sitting on the ground. As soon as that concluded, he took no further part in the rehab group training and headed back to the AAMI park complex. Before the foot inspection, he was doing light work in the rehab group.

    That was the only concerning thing I witnessed. I wouldn’t jump the gun just yet in fearing the worst, although I’m aware of how unclear the club when it comes to updating it’s supporter base re: injuries.

    Its difficult to have solid information when  clubs keep the information secret & send misinformation around.

    so we can only speculate.

     

    A bit like the father with 5 girls, locked out of the delivery room. for hours after.

    Comedy Festival starting, I do know with Viney, like some others, but keep to myself, unlike some others, but Club has put out an update so everbody knows now

    The plan was always Rd 1, why wouldn't it be, didn't work out that way

    Nice to see the flat track bullies coming out of hiding to join in with your 'humour'

    • NON-MFC: Round 05

      Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
