It is what it is.  If there's no crack it should be fine with an "off legs" approach in a few weeks.

    Is he doomed to a career hampered by that foot? It’s been an absolute debacle since last year. How can we not get this right?

    Yeah he's obviously a good player to lose. Our injury list compared to last year is a lot better though. And compared to other top 8 teams (Richmond aside) we've had a great run with injury this season. The Pies are sitting second on the ladder with a massive injury list.


    It’s disappointing. Another foot problem for the Dees another one for Viney after less than 10 weeks of games. However injuries will happen and we have the depth of talent to cover. No excuses. Move on. Kill them dogs and take us one step closer to finals.

    It’s been going on for 2 years now. What makes you so confident this isn’t going to be an ongoing problem?

    3 players. 3 of the same stress foot injuries. 1 year. Bad luck or an issue with the surface of Gosch?


    Interesting choice with Hannan in front of Tyson.

    My guess is that JKH will now be played in the midfield which has been his role at VFL level.

    Ohh FFS.... 

    More frustrating choice is not bringing in Dom to play that inside role.. would be fair to say his papers are fairly stamped..

    Because I've researched the subject.

    Unless they use Vince in the midfield to replace Viney.


    His long term term future in this game is a big worry now. 

    News next week will tell a lot

    What’s it say for Tyson when he doesn’t get a call up 

    Struggle builds the mind
    Selection is delusion
    Tyson will be Blue

    Thats... not good.

    That foot is cursed. Put him on ice and get it right. Need him for the tail end of the year.


    Stuff it that sucks!  Its not so much the fact that Jack's won't play today, but the nature of the injury itself.  I wonder if it's the same foot / toe.

    Media report says it's the same toe. No crack, but stress issue. Mahoney made it sound like it'll be a few weeks out and back before finals. Hopefully.

    We need to a hire a podiatrist full time at the club and assess all our footwear and surfaces we train on.  Either we have players with the same genetic weakness or something is causing the stress. 

     

    In pre game warm up, Frosty has just kicked 3 torps from the goal line that landed just a few metres short of the centre square.

    Not sure if this is a plan but under no pressure he is in good kicking firm today.

    The G is a sight. Missing only people. 

    Glass half full: we have 3 fresh players in from the sauna of last week

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

    • CASEY: Collingwood

      It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
      The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
      Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
