Minor Procedure For Viney (Foot)

Foot and minor procedure don't really go hand in hand (foot in foot).

The procedure may be minor but the outcome rarely is.

Let's hope for the 2 weeks but I don't like the sound of that given he's had previous foot issues.

    Especially with the foot history that Viney has had to contend with.  Whatever it is, I just hope he controls his gungho-ness (or coaches control it for him) and plays when really ready. 

    We have plenty of inside mids to enable him to take all the time needed.

    Can just see this being a bigger issue. Soon enough we will hear he won’t do a pre season match. Then he will miss the first month of the season. Then it’ll be mid year. I sincerely hope I’m wrong, but we have seen this movie before

    I wonder if it was the same foot as his previous plantar fascia troubles?

    Hopefully this is getting ahead of an issue and we give him time to recover for once.
     

    The difference between a healthy Viney in 2020 and the one who hadn’t done a preseason in years in 2019 was chalk and cheese.

    It's a worry for sure given his history but at least its an area where we have good depth. Harmes or Jordan to step into the breach perhaps!

    Just making sure that he is right to go for the season proper. Leaves no stones unturned for having a minor procedure. The club would have said otherwise

    I wouldn't think it is an issue to  worry about.

    Particularly when it involves Viney.

    Hopefully our midfield depth, plus his relative security in the 22, will prevent anyone from feeling any need to rush his recovery process.

    I mean, what's the point of having a deep midfield if you can't use it to make sure everyone is managing their fitness and preparation to the best possible level.

    The old Viney foot injury strikes again.

    Look at all the usual sad sacks having a cry.

    I just wonder if he could be a brilliant back pocket for us. We have Harmes coming back into the midfield, Petracca taking more mniutes now, Sparrow coming along nicely and Jordon coming through.

    Missed 3 weeks with a similar problem in 2017 after attempting to play through it.

    Quote

    As reported in The Age, Josh Mahoney, football manager at Melbourne, when asked about Viney’s injury, noted that it “has been an injury that he has been carrying for the majority of the 2017 season. We expect his recovery from this operation to be approximately 4-6 weeks, based on how quickly his foot can be reloaded post-operation.” It is likely that Melbourne’s co-captain has been trying to manage the injury over the last 4-5 months, with the latest setback likely pushing it to around or beyond the 6 month mark.

    But then it threw out his foot and ankle for 2018, and then had him on a restricted preseason for 2019.

    So at some stage in 2017 he was in a similar predicament as this one and it cost him playing at his peak for 3 years.

    It's unlikely that happens again, but it can't exactly go down as nothing to worry about. 

    I hope this is a new medical team learning from previous mistakes and getting ahead of the problem.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
