The injury to Jack Viney for what looks like several weeks at the pointy end of the season is a definite blow to the club. 

Viney to miss round 17 clash

He’s not an easy player to replace.

Every game Jack Viney plays from now on will be a bonus in my opinion, whether it’s foot or toe, it is obvious he has changed the way he walks/runs which will cause “hot spots”

Goodwin said something about the scan showing some activity again in the area he had trouble with last time.

Not good at all and such a pity that he will (in all probability) not get a chance to renew hostilities with Duckwood. 

 

he'll be managed to the best of the ability of the club. In many way's he still coming back from the foot injury and their may be some flare ups in the short term and hopefully it settles down over time?  I rather him miss games know and knock it on the head early for the long term.

Will miss him vs the Cats and Crows but can easily beat both even without Viney and Lever.

Reckon he might come back vs Gold Coast, if not he will play vs Sydney.

I take it you are a doctor or sports science specialist treating him???

Nice bit of hyperbole WYL.

Sadly I believe the entire Geelong midfield will have taken off the adult nappies, something about them really turns Viney into a hunter, was looking forward to him smashing them. ?

No, personal experience Moonie

 

The big question for mine is who slots into his position going forward.

Do we do a 'like for like' swap and bring Tyson straight in?

Do we push a flanker (ie Harmes) into the middle long term and go for someone like Bugg (just an example) to play that flank role?

Do we take someone from a back flank like Salem and give him more midfield time?

While it's a big blow to lose him, I think we can be creative in covering for it without losing too much on field.  We did win plenty of games earlier in the season without him and there is no reason why we can't continue to do that.

It may have changed how he runs, but it hasn't changed the way he plays which is terrific.  If they decide to put him on ice for the season then I'm confident he can return in 2019 and recapture his best form.

Have we got a nickname for Spargo yet?

Brilliant third quarter, strong tackles, nice running goal.

There was some very good understanding between him and Garlett throughout the game around our forward 50.

Has to be Tyson

We've got team balance just right and has to just be like for like.

Definitely leave Salem where he is - he was fantastic today.

I'd like Bugg back anyway - we are better with him.

Maybe. But it will be game by game management. 

Foot problems don’t go away usually, they are managed. That i know from personal experience. Putting loads through different parts of a foot are always going to cause problems even for regular folk, loads on a footy players feet would be off the dial, so i will enjoy each game he plays

You would think Tyson gets first crack, but the one knock on him is that he hasn't exactly set the world alight this season.  They may feel like doing something a little different to see if they can cover it better.

I posted in the post match thread and I’m assuming you quoted me there...so how does your reply end up on the Viney thread? Am I seeing things mono?

No idea how that crossed threads.  Maybe some confused umpire has hacked this site looking for his betting site?

Irony is that Mr. Hyperbole wouldn't have let Viney return so quickly after plantar fascia surgery in 2017.

 

You reap what you sew.  I don't feel sorry for the club or Viney with this foot saga.  Totally preventable.


It doesn't matter who we bring in, we won't get anything near like for like for Jack. This just sucks, a massive blow.

Tyson is logical, maybe Vandenberg might be an option in a few weeks when he builds form.  Whoever it is won't be close to Jack. 

Went to goshes today for a kick with my son and a couple of his mates.  All of us as soon as we walked onto the oval commented on how hard the ground was.

Sadly i agree Mr TGR. 

You can never rush a foot injury. The weight going through it, will always find the weak spots

Settle down mate, they are not taking his leg. 

Why are people saying Tyson will replace Viney, he was overlooked as a late in and Hannan played instead .

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
