“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.

    I raise you mullets.

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

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
