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

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
