GAMEDAY - Round 17

[Demonland 73,485]

 

[—coach— 3,496]

We we playing at our best this season with Viney out, so sure it shouldn’t be too much of a problem now.

[Gator 17,972]

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

 

[Jaded No More 68,975]

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.

[P-man 13,366]

Well that’s rather [censored] news.

[Lil_red_fire_engine 11,288]

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?

[DemonLad5 1,642]

Shut him down until Sydney 

[Diamond_Jim 12,687]

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.

[dazzledavey36 55,868]

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.

[Sir Why You Little 37,307]

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

News next week will tell a lot

Time for Petracca to shine

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

[DSP 1,488]

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.

[darkhorse72 1,926]

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. 

[Hot as Hell 466]

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
