Agreed. TMac is a far bigger loss. It could be time to sit down with Weiderman and talk about “getting ready” sometimes you gotta push yourself beyond the point. 

He needs to back himself. 

TMac is a big unit. That front toe holds a lot of weight when it can, when it can’t it breaks down real fast. 

6-8 weeks could be indefinite....

This is where the ridiculous delayed start of the VFL begins to hurt. MFC seniors have completed round 3 before the first Casey VFL game begins.

    You hope he gets through it ?

    It's bloody annoying but it's a minor injury in isolation.

    1-2 weeks to deload, 1-2 weeks to rehab, 2 weeks to train/play. Think if it goes well Tom can be back under the 6 week mark. Just hoping for no further set backs for Jack.

    WTF? 2 weeks to de-load? You're kidding.

    Far from a minor injury. That’s the whole point

    every time you walk you put 100 kg’s of weight through it continuously...

    A sore toe or hotspot in a toe is a minor injury.

    Do some research.  They're very common and treatable.

    The timing is obviously annoying.

    Don't worry  we've got this.

    Thanks, Praha, your confidence should be contagious.

    All is unfortunate regarding noted absences but in general, we should knock this one off - for a change - quite well.

    We do have an impressive list and the sense of desire amongst the players is high.

    They are now too competitive amongst themselves for spots in the team (at last), so their awareness of error, fades or any other poor performance criteria are maximal. It will mean missing weeks of football at that level to get back into the team on the ground as those who will be selected and rotated will be uncomfortably aware of not conforming/performing to the standard required by a team with such ambition this season. 

    This is the first step on our stairway to heaven. It is only tired, old, readable, travelling Geelong, after all.

    No wonder the Tigers with not an injury and a soft draw, did so well in an even competition.

     

    I wish a pundit, when making his or her 2018 predictions, would acknowledge that EVERYTHING went right for the Tigers in 2017.

    Sure 6-8 weeks is a minor injury. 

     Maybe to us reguliar folk who just meander down the street, but a load bearing injury in sport can stick around. 

    I did 11 years of Physio, so i have done a bit of research. Both reading and Participating....

    Yes, in a football context 6-10 weeks is a very long time.

    You just gave me the impression you thought it was career threatening, which it isn't.

    Pedo is very much a different player though. confident he can step up but he doesn't demand the defense's attention in the same way McDonald does. Mcdonald is a big loss no doubt. i actually think we can more easily cover Viney than we can Mcdonald. 

    Agreed, but this will shorten TMc's season; which in itself, is great for the latter part of the year, IMV.

    Like others this really xxxxxes me off.

    My distress is more about the absence of T Mac. I had resigned myself to the long absence of Viney some weeks ago.

    For a few years people have been talking about the need to trade for a decent back up KPP who can play ruck.

    We are now one injury away from being in that position again. Love him or hate him Watts was not a useless pinch ruckman.

    The Weid needs another year at Casey to show if he has the goods. Pederson might do it once again but who knows.

    T Mac last week was a slight toe problem and should be fine for Round 1 or 2.  Now its Round 8.

    At the bye our season will be over if we don't turn at 7-4 or better.

    Strangely enough I am less concerned about the loss of T Mac as a forward than I am at the loss of our back up ruckman.

    Rnd-12 - 2017,  we were 6 wins - 24Pts, entering the bye.

    I feel sure we should surpass that.

    I’m really angry, how unprofessional is this clueless club

    Why do they hit us with this on the eve of the 1st game, Vineys been injured since Rd 16 last year. Tell us the truth!!!!

    Why in gods name did TMac play in that AFLX garbage if he had an injury FFS!!!

    And what about Dave Misson our Elite performance bullshiter, what the hell did he do for Garland, Mitch Clark & Trengove, ruined they’re careers that’s what..

    Looks like the same things going to happen to Viney & VandenBerg .

    Noooooooooooooooo

    Tommy is a massive loss. He is meant to help Hogan down in the forward line or if our backline is getting cut up he can swing down there. We also need Viney's aggression around the footy. This is not the start we wanted.

    If the club has rooted Vineys foot im gonna be livid.

    As for Jack and Tom. It's simple.

    We need to simply find a way. We did it in patches last year. We need to do it again.

  • Quote

    Only at Melbourne would two of its most important players being playing through foot injuries instead of being immediately rested/treated.

    What the hell is going on ?  Are we STILL not  a professional club? Will we ever be?

    I can't believe the amount of people who are not privy to relevant information who carry on like pork chops.  They think they've been lied to or that there have been cover ups. 

    These are the types of injuries where pain may or mary not occur after training loads.  One week Viney may have been pain free, so the club reports based on this feedback from Viney and the next week there may be a hiccup, which leads to a reassessment. 

    There's no sinister plot here.  And both of the original stress fractures are not what's causing the current pain, although they have led to the current ailment.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
