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?

    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

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
