Heโ€™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, Brukieย and Burgo have said on their podcast that 6 months is plenty long enough for an ACL. Neitherย is sure why in the AFL a year isย 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.ย 

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.ย

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 areasย

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

  • Demonland changed the title to Jack Vineyโ€™s foot injury
ย 

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

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

Look forward to having him back next year.ย 

From an articleย on the MFC site -ย 

โ€œMeanwhile, Richardson has provided an update on Jack Viney, who was a late out of Sundayโ€™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.

โ€œPleasingly there is no fracture and we have caught the hotspot in Jackโ€™s toe extremely early,โ€ Richardson said.

โ€œJack 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.

โ€œWe will monitor how Jack responds to the rehab plan with the aim for him to return in the next 2-3 weeks.โ€

Good comments SWYL. Itโ€™s illustrative that you use the word โ€˜bootโ€™. 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.ย

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

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

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

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 spotย 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 youโ€™re right.ย 
We looked a different side completely with Jack out of the middleย 

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

Foot issues....

I donโ€™t understand why we rushed to give him 5 years when he has so many ongoing foot issues.ย 
There is no doubt heโ€™s an important part of our team and we are worse off defensively in clearances when he isnโ€™t playing. But he hasnโ€™t had an injury free season for a long long time, and that doesnโ€™t appear to be changing.ย 
Itโ€™s a real concern that he canโ€™t get over the foot problems.ย 

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

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 IMVย

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 Iโ€™d go down the normal graft acl route. Get his recovery right and his knee will be as good as new.

BIG HUGS FOR TOMMO

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.ย 

Not saying he willย  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

A Joeboy rundown:ย Buddy Franklin goalless. Mid-season draft. Uber Alex Georgiou.ย ย

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmyโ€™s inclusive bannerโ€”"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwoodโ€™s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.ย

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
