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.

You’ve got to be kidding. One generation’s groupthink thought the combover was the ideal way to address male pattern baldness. Surely that’s still at the top of the list.

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

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
