Suggest this has more to do with the Qb game than Viney.  “Will you be right by then, jack”?  “Yep, I start running Tuesday and will be cherry ripe by QB”.  Suggest this does not preclude him being available earlier....

    actually he said before qb game 

    Viney has been sidelined for the past fortnight with another foot injury and is yet to pinpoint 
a return date, but believes his recovery is "tracking really well".

Speaking at the launch of Big Freeze 7 in support of Neale Daniher's FightMND foundation, 
Viney said he will be back in action before the annual Queen's Birthday clash with Collingwood.

    So much for 2-3 weeks. 

    Having let the bone heal and gradually increased his loading, Viney said he plans to resume running on Tuesday and is confident he will be back to face the Magpies in five weeks’ time in round 13, in what has become the annual FightMND Big Freeze fundraiser led by inspirational former Demons coach Neale Daniher.

    This is bad news indeed.

    If its the case then I stand by thread that maybe we lack midfield depth.

    Imagine if we lost Trac or Oliver or they are suspended.

    Harmes was good as is Jordan but is Sparrow up to it?

    I defy anyone to argue we need to find a replacement for Jack. Not that I want him replaced but we need to cover our bases.

    Perhsps a filler is a better word.

    Maybe you could find someone in Goulbourn Prison

    A story in The Age promoting Neale Daniher's Big Freeze features Jack Viney who says he expects to be "cherry ripe" for the Queens Birthday day game in round 13.

    This has been a very long 2-3 week injury.  Hope he's fully recovered.

    he also said he expected to be back in action before qb game...... the prev game to qb is 10 days before

    “I will be cherry ripe for the Big Freeze, that’s for sure, but in terms of when I come back, (I’m) not 100 per cent sure, but it is tracking really well,” Viney said at the Big Freeze launch on Monday.

    Important context that he was asked at the launch of the big freeze. 

    The clubs initial time frame was round 10. Viney says for sure by round 13 he’ll be back. 

    My guess is round 11 or 12.

    Now he has two dodgy feet!

    We will just have to nurse him to the end of the season and the finals, like we did in 2018.

    Jack will be lucky to play 10 games a season. Foot problems don’t go away, they are managed

    Totally amazing that he played 21/22 in 2019 and 16/17 in 2020 then

    And 10/12 this year

    you see the correlation

    Worrying stuff.  Is Chunk up to covering as an extra rotation  for short stints off the bench?  Probably not eh.

    Alternatively chunk shares the wing role with Gus who spends a bit of time in the middle to assist with rotations?

    More time in the middle for LJ who is pretty good and mobile at ground level for a big man?

    Like Deaver, ideally i still feel we are short one very good classy mid fielder.  Would have loved to have landed Tom Green in the draft but you can't select everybody.

    I suppose we have the luxury of not rushing him. In saying that I get the feeling this will be an on going issue for his whole career.

    I would imagine they will be very cautious due to his history and at 8-0 we have that luxury. If it takes another 4/5 weeks then so be it. This is exactly why early wins are some important. 

    Also why we should target another midfielder in the mid season draft!

    Just as a QB aside, we won't need to worry about Jeremy Howe who will miss most of the rest of the season after requiring surgery to repair damage caused when he aggravated scar tissue on his hamstring at training on Saturday.

    The way he explained it in that interview (link below) suggests that this is not unchartered waters. Given the procedure he had in the pre-season it was likely that there could be issues. He's been through it before with his other foot and this time he & the medicos were more vigilant - catching the reactions as hot spots before they got to the stress fracture stage.

    I suspect some of his prior foot issues were exacerbated by JV trying to push through it. Reckon it would be hard work trying to get him to come off the track.

    Jack Viney presser

    I posted a couple of years ago regarding the operation he had after tearing his Plantar Fasciitis and that I had spoken to the head physio at North during that time who mentioned Jack's foot wouldn't be the same and that he'd be constantly battling it from here on.

    Not surprising.

    However. We're 8-0 so we have every reason to hold him back on a return date so that we can get a consistent block of games from him.

    That goes for all players who need management from here on and I'll be keen to see what we do from a selection pov going forward. Listening to David King on Whately this morning, he basically said that from here on it'll be about management for us. It's incredible we've banked so many wins without playing a sing four quarter game. We have the luxury of being able to rest anyone who is sore knowing that we need our core firing toward the end of the season.

    I'm happy for Vines to take all the time he needs. And I really hope we see some well thought out management of players over the coming weeks. Especially against lesser sides/short turn-arounds/long travel.

    Surely Melb would know this too, which makes you question a 5 year deal.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
