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

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.
