Minor Procedure For Viney (Foot)

[Roost it far 8,609]

Harmes to the midfield makes us a better team. As soon as he’s fit again we’ll go backwards

Big statements. 
 

Wanna try backing them up with why you think this?

Not sure about that chook, I reckon under Burgess we tend to report longer term injuries as 4-5 week proposition, it comes across a bit more precise.

The Rugby player will be no loss. Just chuck Harmes in the midfield

[Matt Demon 1,482]

Not ideal considering Brayshaw is also behind the eight ball this pre season. Ah well I guess Harmes and possibly Sparrow or Jordan might get a run in the middle.

and when you promised to leave Demonland forever when Salem got us up over the Bombers after the siren, you should have stuck to it

I respect and admire Jack immensely but we are over stocked with inside mids and I don’t think he’s the best of them. His disposal is hardly line breaking and he can’t play in any other position. Harmes offers greater run, is equal at putting others out of the game and I believe he’s more versatile.

Yep

Given the Trengove experience I wouldn't mind if we kept him out of all running drills for 12 weeks .

Keep him on the bike and swimming for cardio and let him wrestle bears for upper body conditioning.

Dr Biffen has spoken

There is no reason to compare injuries when they are vastly different.  Viney seems to a minor issue and there is no reason to think otherwise unless advised.  The club won’t come out and say it’s minor if they think it a major issue, particularly with Burgo in charge 

[dazzledavey36 55,358]

Great opportunity for Sparrow to really step up now.

[Lucifers Hero 40,364]

While the prior plantar fascia injury was to his right foot I hope we are really careful with this injury to his left foot.  His left is his kicking foot and as he has no 'right side' an early return risks his effectiveness on the field. 

I'm not fussed if he misses some early games, we have plenty of coverage which we didn't have 3-4 years ago.  Better that he is 100%.

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!

Sparrow ahead of both of those two for a Viney interchange for mine.

It does make you wonder why you’d give him a 200 year contract considering our plentiful supply of inside mids. Harmes, Bradshaw, Oliver, Sparrow, Jordan. Do we actually even need him?

I tend to agree there is much more space around the ball without him even though I love his toughness

Unfortunately as usual we have given him a long contract coz he "bleeds red and blue"

geez you would think Viney is barely AFL standard reading the comments here. unbelievable.

I've no preference. whoever shows the most in pre-season should get the spot.

[Accepting Mediocrity 1,418]

Viney has got to be the weirdest choice for forum whipping boy in the history of Demonland.

Foot injuries are always concerning; we've had plenty and I can't remember a single one turning out to be minor.

[At Least I Saw a Flag 5,274]

It's interesting to watch replays some time after matches. I watched the GWS replay the other night. Viney was far better than I remembered. Melksham was deplorable. Kozzie buzzed in and out, but missed so many gettable shots. Weideman was very poor. 

[george_on_the_outer 7,703]

How quickly people have forgotten that Geelong were sniffing around seriously for him.  They have Guthrie, Dangerfield, Selwood and Duncan. You can never have too many mids.

[Dee Zephyr 19,268]

Oh no....Casey the new Goschs. 

Wishing him a speedy recovery, we’re a better team with Jack in it.
