DistrACTION Jackson

Why would Viney be off the list? He’s had surgery and they said three month recovery. May on the other hand sounds like he may call it quits, which may not be a bad thing if we want an extra list spot for a preseason signing.

Well we can watch them Saturday night then 🤌🏼

d I would also say, look at how many very average players sit on lists for 3-4 years before being delisted. Every club has them. He brings incredible leadership and also on field coaching as we transition to the new breed. I really don’t get the people cracking sads over this. Like sure maybe it would be better to do a 2 year extension instead, but this won’t hamstring us moving forward so I’m not really bothered.

The Turning Point MAGA thing with Kid rock was one of the most embarrassing things I’ve ever seen. Horrendous

He’s missing a month, but they said he can still do fitness training. Decent chance he will be available for round 1

In a world where you’ve recently lost Angus Brayshaw and Neal-Bullen and are aware you are also losing Oliver and Petracca soon.

There’s photos on the MFC website at least

For the best. No point wasting time trying to get him back if he’s going to be so underdone. Also gives us the chance to get a preseason replacement if there’s a player we like, maybe Toby Sinnema?

I think the other thing to consider is the club probably knew Trac and Oliver were likely moving on, so to try keep some mature players in the side they offered the longer deal. I don’t think his salary in the later years will be that high, so won’t hamstring us in getting better like the Oliver contract would’ve.

Most teams will go through this. Adelaide have recently lost Curtin and Keane for decent chunks of time.

Dazzle he’s been in the job 4-5 months, what were you expecting he would achieve in that time? The major thing he needed to ensure was sponsorship for the 2026 season, which seems it is sorted. We can’t be putting the home base issues on his shoulders yet, he would’ve spent the first couple of months getting around that and heaps of other things to do with the role. I’m all for holding people accountable and critically analysing their job, but he needs at least 12 months in the role before we can actually make judgements on his success as CEO.

Isn’t that the method for plantar fascia?

Pretty sure they are all on managed loads, so I don’t think anything too worrying. I’d imagine all will play some time in the practice matches.

Might need Bill Gates to help

Surely they send Viney for surgery ASAP to get this sorted for the longer term. Don’t turn it into another Spargo saga.
