Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

    We reserve the right to delete posts that offend against our above policy & indeed, to ban posters who are repeat offenders or who breach our code of conduct.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.

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.

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

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

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
