He’s looked off the pace a number of weeks now, sadly not a surprise.

Serious? I must be watching a different game to you because I think he's been exceptional so far.

Biggest difference in change that I've noticed is he's not playing the rugby scrum style he's been doing the last few years. He's keeping it simple and playing a good selfless game and actually getting his teammates involved.

His game against Richmond was the best he's played since 2018 finals.

He's a huge loss and on the weekend it certainly showed.

    On a somewhat positive note, Brukie and Burgo have said on their podcast that 6 months is plenty long enough for an ACL. Neither is sure why in the AFL a year is taken for granted. Other sports, 6 months.

    Very few other sports are "360 degree" sports like AFL

    Sad news for Tommo, has been a key part of the back 6 this year, and cannot be underestimated in allowing May and Lever to play the roles that we need of them.

    That said I think between Hibberd, Petty and TMac we have options for covering him. 

    Guess Daw as well, signed for Cover for a few key positions and we're currently without Hore/Tomlinson all season and Smith for another 8 or so, so Majak finds himself closer to the team as a defender than a forward.

    oh, so you want a pair of magic boots......rightio

    No not at all, i just think more technology should be put into the AFL boot. I think it is sadly lacking compared to other areas 

    Rightio

    Good move signing Majak. 
    he will be needed at some stage...

    • Demonland changed the title to Jack Viney’s foot injury
     

    Bugger. I guess we all suspected it but it still disappoints you when it's confirmed. 

    Poor Adam, I hope the boys get around him and lift his spirits. He knows this team is onto a good thing and npw he won't be a part of it.

    Look forward to having him back next year.

    From an article on the MFC site - 

    “Meanwhile, Richardson has provided an update on Jack Viney, who was a late out of Sunday’s game with a toe complaint.

    The 27-year-old will be sidelined for approximately two to three weeks, after reporting some lingering soreness in his toe.

    “Pleasingly there is no fracture and we have caught the hotspot in Jack’s toe extremely early,” Richardson said.

    “Jack will be on a modified training program for the next couple of weeks and we are confident that this is a minor setback for him.

    “We will monitor how Jack responds to the rehab plan with the aim for him to return in the next 2-3 weeks.”

    Good comments SWYL. It’s illustrative that you use the word ‘boot’. Boots, in my opinion would give more protection especially to the ankle.

    AFL players wear sprinting footwear. My guess is that their pace is not improved markedly.

    If I was him at 28, in this squad in this year. I would roll the dice on a synthetic LARS ligament and potentially be back playing in 6 weeks.

    Rather than go traditional and be back next year. Can always go down that road if the LARS fails.

    Too many foot issues happen nowadays Deef. We need to be proactive 

    Jack Viney is going to have this problem for the rest of his career 

    So how do we get the best out of him and minimise the time he spends on the sidelines?

    Interesting, I’d forgotten about those.

    I would be very surprised if Darren Burgess hasn't considered this. He's the best in the business so surely something as obvious as customised footwear has not been over-looked.

    Looks like this hot spot was picked up as part of regular scanning which means a quicker recovery. I'm sure Burgo is keeping a close eye on Jack and will manage him in line with best practice.

    In Burgo I trust.

    I am hoping you’re right. 
    We looked a different side completely with Jack out of the middle 

    But it is something that has bugged me since The Docklands opened in 2000

    Foot issues....

    Top of the problem pile

    I don’t understand why we rushed to give him 5 years when he has so many ongoing foot issues. 
    There is no doubt he’s an important part of our team and we are worse off defensively in clearances when he isn’t playing. But he hasn’t had an injury free season for a long long time, and that doesn’t appear to be changing. 
    It’s a real concern that he can’t get over the foot problems. 

    ?we didn’t rush to give him 5 years, he was out on contract and being courted by other teams.  The bloke has a 2 week injury, it’s not exactly a catastrophe.

    Jack Viney hotspot in foot. 2-3 weeks.

    Just announced on Fox Footy..

    And we signed him for 5 years with known previous foot/ ankle issues. Even if its not related its a very worrying sign IMV

    Seems like that quick fix treatment has been moved right away from of late?

    They are very much out of vogue. Upsetting for Tommo, but I’d go down the normal graft acl route. Get his recovery right and his knee will be as good as new.

    I think there a few instances where it is the right choice.

    Afl player in a contract year late in career - better to be playing than not.

    Bloke like Tommo here injured at a [censored] time when a deep finals run (in professional footy) it looking ominous.

    Mid forties lady who still wants to play with kids and go for the week at the snow but can't commit to 12 months rehab.

    Outside of those particular circumstances - would not touch it. 

    Not saying he will  or for his longer life physical health he shoould.... But deep runs at this level are why you play the game. I'd have a long hard look at the option in his shoes

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
