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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
