Settle down mate, they are not taking his leg. 

No they’re not. But with a dodgy foot, that leg you refer to can’t do a lot, sadly.

    It’s not that serious.

    Got to lol at the hindsight armchair experts! The closest they've got to examining Jack's foot is from 50m over the boundary. Yet they tut tut his treatment as if knowing better because of 'personal experience'. Yes, yes, club doctors and physios are amateurs who led him to get to this point! We know better.....

    FMD!

    Sure. That’s what we were told last preseason.

    Don’t post on here much, but didn’t you say Gus Bradshaw should ‘hang up the boots’ after his last concussion?

    I may have, one more hit and he would have been in trouble.

    True , they’re not . Just saying it’s hard to call time on a players career after a few similar injuries.

    I think we should relax and see how long he's out before we start saying poor me.

    Goodwin said it's a different injury to last time.

    Agreed. I don’t think Viney’s career is over, but it will be managed, he came back too early last year. 

    That i do believe

    Again, are you a doctor/specialist who has examined this person? Apologies if you are, but otherwise this is bs.

    I know this site is full of opinions and everyone is entitled to theirs, but making grand sweeping medical statements as fact with very distant and PR massaged knowledge of the individual is ridiculous and clearly wrong

    You should work to in the media wyl. Oh, wait.....

    Sweeping medical statements??

    i have had foot problems since i was a kid, so because of that i have read up a bit on the subject. 

    Sorry if that bothers you. 

    As i said before, changing load bearing points on a foot is always going to cause new problems.

    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

    I think given previous situation you might well be right, this COULD be career threatening! 

    Im still convinced that he came back far too early last year and this could be a catasphrophic conclusion to the current situation!

    So then you aren't a medico who has examined either Jack or Gus. Righto.

    By the way, a poster on the post game thread said Viney estimated to be 3-4 weeks and the club would be cautious. Intel came from inside the club apparently

    No i am not a medico, but i did go to a school that had kids who had suffered brain injuries

    So i saw the consequences up close

    And 3-4 weeks was what the club was saying last October/November, because they can only ever speculate on a load bearing injury

    i hope he plays again this year.

    He’s seen knees before up close, I’d be wary of his remedy or dreaded prediction.

    Spot on. You were just stating the obvious I thought. Credit to Brayshaw for not hanging up the boots - I would have. Its a dangerous game and repeated head knocks are no good at all. Everything I have read on CTE suggests as much.

    If he plays four quarters today and at the level of intensity of last week, I would love to see Vanders in for the run home!

    Given the way Max was putting it down our on ballers throats yesterday, I'm not sure we will really miss Viney's contested work.

    Just pray we don't loose Max.  I think he has been the difference the past two weeks and probably for most of the year.  Sure we have Pedo who I have confidence would step up and perform well, but he ain't no peek condition Max.

    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.

    This has Gary Pert's grubby fingers all over it

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
