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.

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
