“Goodwin: When you’re a new player to a footy club all you want to do is show off the hard work you’ve done.

Steven hasn’t had the chance to do that yet, but his attitude towards his training has been great.”

Hasn't actually been able to show off what he hasn’t actually done seems more to the point. 

Hasn't given himself the chance more to the point.

    1920s prison haircuts are all the rage.

    Worst group-think of any generation.

    Goodwin: Jack Viney hasn’t been ruled out yet. 
    He will have an important training session today + he will make a call on his fitness - he knows his body well.      — Melbourne FC (@melbournefc) May 7, 2019

    Jack has a poor record of judging when fit to play.  By his own admission he returned early from his foot injury in 2017 and has had long periods on the sidelines and/or managed game time since. 
    His game time was managed in games early in the season.  Ditto vs Hawks - he played about 2 of the first 3 qtrs (prior to the shoulder injury).  This suggests something other than the shoulder injury is causing the managed game times.
    Have someone else make the decision!

    Very good point.. I would not allow him back this week, next week on a hard deck in the West also a concern.

    Jsck isn't the sharpest tool in the shed.

    So yes, i agree wholeheartedly with you that someone else needs to make the decision, not Jack.

    “Weideman is sore and we’re looking to give him a rest this week?”  

    The way goody put it made me think that weids body is quite ready fr week in, week out AFL. Understandable, it takes more time fr some than others.  And I like player management. But don’t put a 650k price in ur head when yr still on trainer wheels!

    I wish it wasnt left up to Jack Viney to make a call on whether he plays. He always says he is right to go.

    Listening to the Inside Melbourne Podcast this morning. Viney sounded doubtful that he will get up for this week, said there are a few things still to tick off.... but I think he's getting better at listening to the medicos and fitness staff at the club. He's trying to get fit, but I reckon he knows he's not right.

    When I heard this (he will make a call, he know's his body well) I almost drove off the road...

    Jack is the last person to ask.

    I think the decision needs to be taken out of his hands, he's proven in the past that he is the last person to be given the responsibility.

    We employ medicos for a reason. Once the player says they are right to play the final decision should always be with them in consultation with the coach.

    Agree.   All JV really know is that he loves to play footy.  Some serious professional guidance is required.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      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.
