Viney out for a month

GoLions · May 20, 2013, 08:16:46 PM

"Bad news for Jack Viney who is set to miss a month of footy with a hot spot in his foot. Jimmy Toumpas has also been cleared of any major damage to his ankle."

From Facebook page "AFL Free AGency, Draft & Season News"

Saw that too.

Gotta be flowering kidding :'(

I was already going to trade him out anyway to Watson

GoLions · May 20, 2013, 08:25:26 PM

I might trade him out, bring Kennedy into mids, and bring in Staker a week early. Or keep him for one more week and do my planned trades of Stevenson/Leuenberger out, Thurlow/NicNat in. God dammit Viney.

216 grand isn't enough from him. Have to keep if you've got cover, unless you've got a sh!tload of cash for a decent upgrade. Still think he's got a lot of money to make, plus you'd be spewing if there's no new mid rooks coming in the near future,

Only worry is if his injury stretches out even longer

Yep reckon I'll keep him, should be good coverage for the byes too (providing he's back by Rd13!)

batt · May 20, 2013, 08:46:50 PM

Can't carry him through the byes without scoring (at least r11). I think his time is up.

Bully · May 20, 2013, 08:47:14 PM

All these great theories of keeping him throughout the bye period could cost a swag of points, I'd be looking at cashing in ASAP.

Big Mac · May 20, 2013, 08:50:14 PM

I'm thinking of just benching him. It's not like we have dozens of rookies lined up to choose from in the next few weeks, I think Hrovat might be the only mid. Viney still has 100k or so to make and i've got cover from Lonergan anyway.

Samm79 · May 20, 2013, 08:52:19 PM

Piney for Viney :-\

kilbluff1985 · May 20, 2013, 08:54:58 PM

with Wellingham gone for a few weeks i'm hoping Mark Hutchings gets more games

Having non playing players over the bye period could be costly, I don't have him but I'd be looking at swinging in Dwyer, or Vlastuin to the mids and replacing Viney with Staker.
