6-8 weeks... combined?

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.

Well #^@! This is just what we don't need.

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.

They may have ordered him of feet, I would hope.

 

Now it's your game,

 

IF he did not ??????

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 .

 

Sick of being lied to by this mob

You might attract the wrong type to this website with that hashtag P-Man.

None of us want Stuie back with his ha-ha-larious #pedomyths hashtag!

DLand just isn't the same without stu.

It's much, much better.

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.

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?

Hang in there Leo let the season begin for us and give the injured boys hope. Lets all stick together and think positive.

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.
