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

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. 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 brought 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 and I doubt the medicos have no say in it. 

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

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 it 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 this

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 reoccurring foot issues.

I'm hoping that Viney is sufficiently fit, plays and plays well.  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.  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. 

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

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

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. 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 ‘When will Gold Coast break these embarrassing records’?

 

Jack's thought process ...

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

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
