    The lack of value that some still place on this bloke astounds me.  His presence makes us much better, and gives the opposition huge headaches.

    Maybe some do not value him but please take care to read the first sentence of my post. Thanks.

    A scare went through the Demon's camp at training when Jack Viney went down with a suspected knee injury. He immediately left the track and was taken for scans to assess the damage, if any, to his knee.

    On the eve of the 2023 Season Melbourne Football Club General Manager of AFL Football Performance Alan Richardson allayed every Demon fans worst fears stating that that the scans revealed that "there isn't any significant damage to his knee".

    “We will have a better idea of his rehabilitation progress over the next week. While he will miss this weekend’s practice match against Richmond, we don’t anticipate him to be further impacted ahead of the season.”

    The club, through it's website, confirms that the 28 year old will be on "light duties" until he is fit to resume full training.

    With just 16 days remaining until the Demon's Round 1 encounter with recent rival the Western Bulldogs the clock is certainly ticking and Demon fans will be hoping that Jack will take the field in the season opener.

    A number of players are ready to fill the giant sized hole left in the middle in Viney's absence with Tom Sparrow ready to jump into the breach after returning from the break super fit and training the house down over the preseason according to all report from Demonland's trackwatchers. Angus Brayshaw might also need to be pulled from defence duties. James Jordon could be recalled from Casey to replace the injured Vice Captain.

    Ouch. Dunstan will look to step up until Jack gets back. 

    Unlikely - out til after rd 1 with a hamstring I thought?

    Sparrow is next inside rotation, I would’ve thought, while Harmes and Jordon might see more centre square activity if Viney is out beyond season start

    Viney will glare at them and they will postpone the start of the season.

    So if I'm reading the room right, we like Jack, Good because he is the most capable of a 'mic drop' tackle in a big game, and scare the pellets out of any opposition, (and do a dozen other things well).

    Great thread that one

    Actually think it's a small blessing - viney Oliver and trac - all bulls.

    We need to show some variety and get some pure speed around the stoppages. Increased midfield time for kozzie. Will get a good at Rivers with more midfield minutes, maybe some chandler or bowser time in there for some chaos around the ball. 

    Will definitely keep the opposition guessing as what's actually possible with our group

    I hope what they really mean is that we can get by without him especially for a game or two early in the year - Rivers, Sparrow in particular will be keen to step up - but he is an absolute essential at the business end of the season NB finals.

    Spot on.

    Ir seems to me that his importance to the team is underated by some fans and media people.

    Annoying that media gets hold of this before the club even releases anything official. 

    Unfortunately the Media are not interested in facts but sensationalising the news so they get Media attention and newspapers sold. Look what they have done to Kozzie of late.

    Whilst Viney is very important to us I believe we have cover with the likes of Sparrow, Jordan, Rivers etc. for what I hope is only a short time out, if at all.

    Dunstan

    The rumblings when Jack Viney does a leg press are bigger than any rumblings the media can create about this.

    That is the sensible play. Panic is when you try to make a dash for the front door even though you can still hear the intruders inside your house, and the police are on the way already.

    He's recovering from a Hamstring injury. I don't know the timeframe for his return but he might be pushing it for Round 1 as well.

    So Dunstan has a hamstring injury?? Unfortunate.

    Yep, would have been the closest thing to an ideal replacement

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
