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!

    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

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      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.
