MELBOURNE’S Jack Viney has undergone surgery on a fracture to his hand.  

The club’s AFL High Performance Manager Selwyn Griffith provided an update on the midfielder on Tuesday.

“Jack was completing a training session in Alice Springs as part of his return from concussion,” Griffith told Melbourne Media.

“During that session, he slipped over and unfortunately, follow-up imaging showed that he had sustained a fracture to one of the bones in his hand.

“After consulting with a specialist, Jack has undergone surgery and is currently recovering.

“The plan is to assess his availability once the wound is cleared, and we’ve followed up with the surgeon.”

My god noooo.

What else can go wrong

[censored]... just marveee

Get better Jack.... all the best

Oi Vey !! 🥴

The only positive is this probably allows further healing for the brain after the concussion.

No justice in the world!

Hopefully he’s 1,000% recovered from his concussion when he finally gets back on the park.

He’ll be back for finals.

Another reason to scrap the Alice

A fractured hand will be fine after the bye.

Oh yeah, clearly the venue's fault. Couldn't possibly have happened on any other ground. Nosiree!

It's a real shame. I had expected him to take Daicos and towel him up.

The silver lining is that he will be cherry ripe for finals.

So glad you got in before me, because I'm not sure I had the courage.

According to the Sydney Hand Surgery Clinic: "In general it takes 6 weeks for a hand fracture to heal and a further 6 weeks to reach near normal strength. Very heavy lifting and contact sport should be avoided until the fracture has solidly healed (8-12 weeks)."

Let's just hope for the best.

Wow, what a great season this is turning out to be.

While we're at it, let's add another game to the Alice ones not enough clearly.
