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. 

It is a real concern that he won't be giving heaps of mongrel to Cripps this weekend.

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

And I quote again!!

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.

Time to start training Chandler how to apply mongrel within the rules.

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.

There is a positive in this, we are in a really strong position at 8-0 to play a few more games without Viney and have a bit more depth through guys like James Jordon who are playing very well getting a game. We know what Viney brings in big games snd don't need 22 games from him, we need him fit enough to play and make it through finals. He's the sort of player than can have 6 weeks off, come straight back into a big game and be best on ground.

Oh for god sake. ?

Good opportunity for Sparrow to get some senior midfield time if we need another tough inside mid

Doesn't look right. Jack Viney is 135 games of that lot.....

Tomlinson, Hore, Vandenburg, Lockhart and Smith....

Do we know if Weideman broke his finger? ?

It took 3 attempts! 

Agree gives Weid his opportunity fwd/Ruck.

That’s a big shame,  Max’s form has been down the past couple of weeks and now he’s without his apprentice. 


Will miss his ruck craft. Weid might offer more up forward, but Dogga is our most effective ruckman at the moment.

 

Richmond players go to nightclubs and get into drunken fights: broken wrist

Melbourne players carry little old ladies' groceries to the car: sore finger

GO DEMONS

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
