But yet you missed Jones critical goal against the cats? Or him reving the boys up at 3 qtr time before the coaches addressed the players? Pfft.. The Jones bashing is getting beyound the joke now!

Just saw Jack so I’ve got a bit of an update. I was driving and he was walking so I didn’t get a chance to speak to him. But in the split second that I drove past him, he didn’t seem to be i

2. He has brought Collingwoods injury woes here with him. 

3. The fish rots from the head. 

4. Stop the boats. 

5. It's the vibe, its Marbo. 

I hope this clears things up.

Most certainly....

Personally I'm blaming the #4 bloke anyway.

If Jack’s out for an extended period ie 4+ weeks, it opens the door for Aaron to crash his way back into the midfield, and Salem to get another extended run.

Love Vandenbergs appetite for the game as the intensity lifts, he’s my wildcard for the run into and finals. ..

Amazing maturity in the depth of the players revealed by this ( and demonland)

Co captain and toughest player out of the side and virtually no one slashing wrists

mostly working through the options with a positive view and very little MFCSS 

great to read  and we do have options 

keep him out for an extra week just to be sure to be sure !

Go Dees

Here's  a bit more info from the AFL site:

"It's a funny one. He was a little bit sore (on Friday), so we had a scan and there were some early signs of stress on that toe and really we didn't want to push him," Goodwin told reporters.

"We need to get that right. We don't want to get to a stage where he can't play.

But he couldn't play yesterday.

Salem is another player who has showed he can go on ball and win clearances if needed. Great as Jack is we are well stocked for inside mids, it'll hurt us to some extent but every team is dealing with injuries. Kennedy did his back for Sydney, Nic Nat knee at West Coast, Collingwood Treloar etc...

Oliver: 

"Melbourne star Clayton Oliver says he and Angus Brayshaw can help fill some of the leadership void left by Jack Viney...[Angus and I] try just get the boys going and say what we need to say.”

https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/demon-driver-oliver-gets-more-vocal-in-viney-s-absence-20180715-p4zrnj.html

Shows how much our youth is maturing to be ready and willing to take on the extra responsibility. 

We will miss JV no end but we are in a better position to cover him this year than last.  We have Gus in and everyone has another year of development behind them.  Hopefully, Jack will be back soon.

interesting that goodwin says the injury is 'different' to last year / this year's foot injury

not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing

That girl on Gameday said while it’s not the same injury, it’s a hot spot related to the previous injury (stress and pressure moves elsewhere on the foot), may be a career problem and one they’ll need to manage.

I'm not thinking this is anything good ...either way.

Vanders is a September Wildcard along with Jayden Hunt.

Couple of weeks off and back for Adelaide and it will settle down.

So, Win, you are privy to the exact details of the injury and the scan results?

Is it just me or is anyone not as stressed about this than the Lever loss?

I think we have the midfield depth to cover him well enough, especially as we did so earlier in the season.  Covering a potential AA key position player is harder to do.

Yep. Sounds likely that Viney is probably going to spend the balance of his career managing this foot. 

The reassuring thing is he’s the sort who will leave no stone unturned in working out the best way to do that. Hopefully the issues reduce over time.

I think the biggest positive also is this time Viney self reported it to the club early, in the past he would have been pushing to play on. He now understands the seriousness of it and put the club first, instead of himself. A big win in change of mindset IMO.

We have been going gangbusters against the top 8 sides and finals are a doddle so yeah, no biggie with Lever gone......

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    The Demons head back to Melbourne after an embarrassing loss to the Dockers to take on the Magpies at the MCG on Kings Birthday. With a calf injury to Lachie Hunter and Jacob van Rooyen possibly returning from injury who comes in and who goes out?
