    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 

    Rightio

    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

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
