Yeah Intermittant Fasting is great for people trying to stay lea or lose weight, not sure it's the right strategy for professional footballers. Too much calorie restriction.

    Where's the guidance from the club dietitian while he's messing around with fad eating routines? This is actually concerning...

    Stop it Jack.

    You're a professional footballer.  Eat like one.

    I think you’ll find it was originally pushed by the clubs dietician/nutriotionist for the whole playing group, and then Viney decided he had noticed the benefits to the point that he continued doing it off his own bat, with their consultation.

    Any concerns would be coming from a position of ignorance.

    But they hook onto fad eating routines like paleo etc. where do you get your guidance from? I think dietitians vary too much and have such ridiculous eating plans.

    Looking forward to hearing from the resident dietitians on here who earn a good living in tailoring elite athletes diets to maximise performance. Over to you...

    I'd suggest the club dietitians have been central to JV's approach to his diet.

    A lot of the world's top athletes eat this way, there is nothing wrong with this  approach to eating and it certainly won't affect your performance in a negative way.

    Obviously his carrying weight on his feet  was a factor in his  injury.  If it keeps him on the field and the club dietitians support him who cares.

    Brace yourselves, the armchair high performance dieticians are coming 

    You don't need to be a dietician to know his form has been poor/average this season.

    Let's see how it pans out for him but a previous club captain changed his diet and was delisted a couple of seasons back.

    Probably no link at all, just coincidence.

    Hope to see Jack back in form this afternoon...

    That will be the rationale 

    less weight carried through the feet

    Wife I have been doing this for a few months now.  First two days are hard, everyday after that is easy.  Whilst we’re certainly not professional athletes, I’ve only felt benefits so far with no noticeable lack of energy.

    Jack seems a lovely guy (unless you are playing against him) but maybe not the brightest: perhaps he misheard “we would like you to be fast” as “we would like you to fast”???

    Not so concerned with where he's at right now, but why has he gone from carb loading to 5/2 (both which didn't work for him) to 8/16 all while under the watch of the club?

    Not sure, haven’t read the article, just going off what I know.

    I'm pretty sure the fact he spent most of the pre-season on crutches and in the rehab group is more a factor on his form than his "fad" diet.

    The human body isn't designed to have 3 meals every day. Just like if you exercise the same muscles the same way every day you wont get the proper benefit for it. You need to mix up your diet as well. There is also clear measurable benefits from fasting particularly with your blood cells.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
