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

definitely, but wouldn't be suprised if its a month going with his track record.

 

He has just done a presser about the foot, saying it had been sore for a few weeks, is the same bone and will miss at least 4 weeks... it’s [censored] Groundhog Day!!!

So why not reported to staff 4 weeks ago by him. when first became aware of it.

Unbelievable! Won't be back this year and a chance for someone else for rest of season.

I am comfortable having watched live on Saturday  the way Oliver,  Brayshaw,  Gawn, Hogan.... stepped up that leadership is not an issue. 

He will be a loss though.

Hmmm. From what they were saying yesterday he only just became a little sore, now it's been sore for weeks?

Yep. Agree, last year he did the bloody same. You would think after last year he and the club (if he reported) would have learnt. Defies logic.

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

I'm with you BBP.  Lever was/is huge.

This isn't the club''s fault is my info.

Jack is learning the hard way about professionalism possibly.

This is the text from the tweet

Viney: It has been a bit sore over the past couple of weeks, so we got those scans on it, and it revealed that stress. 

 

It’s part of footy. I’m staying really optimistic.

 

freaking idiotic.

Well if he reported it, it is.

But I have a feeling he may have played it down.

If Viney didn't report it - he needs a serious kick up the backside

If Viney did report it - the medical staff need to be damn well fired. He could've missed the games prior, had less stress and been back sooner. Fortunately it doesn't seem to have reached the stage of an actual fracture but that's more from good luck than good management by the sounds of things.

Arrrgh I'm so angry.

It's not part of footy when he knew how serious it became last year, he should have reported it straight away if in fact he didn't. Just ridiculous. (not you, him).

He needs to stop being the tough guy and think of the club and team first and foremost, he didnt last year either.

See above


Obviously Jack hasn't learnt from last year.. what a bloody idiot!

I would take the captaincy off him next year and tell him just to get his foot right and stop worrying about trying to put the team first!

He will have no one else to blame but himself if this ruins his career. Time to take a back seat Jack and get that foot right!

Totally agree, what a freaking idiot. Give the captaincy going forward to Gawn also.

Not only could he ruin his career but he could ruin our chance for a flag.

Very disappointed after reading this. Beyond comprehension really.

So much for even reporting an itch, the medicos are even bigger fools if Jack informed them.

Same bone in his foot as before, that has been sore for a couple of weeks. 

Foot injuries.....


I thought that all players were supposed to report even the most minor of niggles to the medicos? 

With that being the case, I suspect Viney didn't inform the club that his foot was sore, which after the time it has taken to heal earlier this year seems really odd. I guess that part of it is trying to work out what 'type of soreness' we are talking about, ie general wear and tear or stress/load related.

Either way... disappointing outcome for Viney and the club going into finals. I know the club is saying it will be  conservative this time round, but I'd prefer they hold out and try and get him ready for the GWS game. Sydney might be a game too soon, and Optus Stadium is still quite a hard surface isn't it?

This annoys me......??

But Viney said he noticed a flare-up heading into Melbourne’s round 16 clash against Fremantle at TIO Stadium in Darwin.

“Going into the Freo game, I was a little bit aware of it,” he said.

“I made the decision that if I felt like that the week after, and it hadn’t got any better, then we’d look in to it. The day before we played the Doggies, I wasn’t feeling too flash.

“I got all of the necessary scans and got onto it early.”

Bolding mine. Would love to know if he made the decision in concert with team medicos.

If not, he needs to be taught a lesson. And that means stripped of captaincy.

I'd like the captain to be Gawn or Lever next year.

What a total dill. (If what is said above is true)

The club has a top notch medical team. Evidence -  the management of Tom MacDonald -  ( and Tmacs approach as well helped)

This was never Viney's  decision to make - but he thinks it is -  and therein lies the issue.

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
