Anyone else a little concerned Goodwin says they’re leaving the decision on playing Viney ā€˜completely up to him’?Ā 

Jack’s pretty much admitted he’s rushed himself back before and we know what happened then.

Surely the medical staff should be involved in this decision, but hey, that’s probably for the Shaun Smith thread...

GC at full strength aside from Rory Thompson who’s out for the year.Ā We usually play them when they’ve got half a team out.

A few per cent off from last week and we probably lose this one.

I'm sure he is capable of learning from his mistakes. Just cause he broughtĀ himself back underdone last time doesn't mean it will certainly happen again. In the end, it is him who knows his body best, and you could even say that the last incident has made him even more acutely aware of his body, injuries and recovery timelines.

It's still a strange comment though. I think it's probably being taken a face value a bit too much andĀ I doubt the medicos have no say in it.Ā 

Maybe the medico's have given him the all clear and it's Jack who is wondering whether he is ready or not?Ā 

Edited by Smokey

Surely no reason to risk Viney if he is in any doubt whatsoever - we have plenty of contested ball winners to match itĀ with whoever Gold Coast have, if Harmes, Brayshaw, Oliver, Jones etc can't get it done in midfield we're in big trouble anyway.

On exposed form season to date they win thisĀ

I'm also less concerned given my recollection that the reason he missed against Hawthorn was the hit he took to his shoulder against Richmond, not his reoccurringĀ foot issues.

I'm hoping that Viney is sufficiently fit, plays and plays well.Ā  Whether we are a realistic chance to play finals or not, we need to start stringing some confidence and form together to build beleif back up within the side and a fit Jack Viney helps that.Ā  We are a much better side than we have been playing like for most of this season.

Edited by Rodney (Balls) Grinter

We are favourites.

What could go wrong??


No doubt its going to be tough to win, even if we were in really good form, the Suns have shown they are a much better and harder side to play against. It does feel like they only have one real avenue to goal, so that will be the key, our defence to be really on and we can counter attack and score.

Looking forward to this one, love going to Metricon its a neat little stadium.Ā 

Going with a bunch of Gold Coast "supporters" which will give me so much [censored] if we lose...Ā

Agree, you really to have wonder about this stuff. Surely the medical staff are involved ?Ā Sure you need the players input but aĀ bloke like Jack is his own worst enemy. Should be rested and the decision made by medical staff and coach.Ā  Leave it up to Jack? You must be joking.Ā 

Gold coast will play a quick game. We will have to be 100 % on to win this.

Viney in for ANB.

Settled line up - and suspect that it will more or less stay that way till May, Lever etc. come into the frame.Ā Unless the wheels come off.

Agree with that. Feel like we're starting to splutter back into life, and there were some good signs last week, but personally I don't think we'll really get going till after the bye.


Win, all is well, carry on.

Lose, and the only thing to watch for is Peter Wright's audition as our new FF/ruck support.

Fiorini is a huge out for them. Young is also a handy player out

I’m not overly worried considering they haven’t beaten us since 2014.

Oh no, what have you done? Suns forum is now running with a ā€˜When will Gold Coast break these embarrassing records’?

Ā 

Jack's thought process ...

"Am I recovered from my injury? Let's see nowĀ ... it only hurts when I breathe. Yep! Am I ready to run through someone? ..... if I only do it using one leg, yep!Ā  Am I ready to crawl over broken glass? That'll only hurt my knees ... might even give my foot a rest. Good to go!"

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.Ā  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • 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.Ā  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.Ā  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.Ā

  • 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.
