Melbourne legend Shaun Smith has taken to Facebook to comment about son Joel's injury problems at the Demons.

Shaun, who played 62 games for the Demons between 1995-1998, has responded to other comments on Facebook slamming the club and suggesting Melbourne's conditioning isn't up to the level it should be.

Joel Smith hurt his groin in the pre-season and is set to miss at least another fortnight, with Smith saying the club's "mismanaged" him.

โ€œClearly the conditioning is not up to scratch and players who have had opps (operations) have not been managed well," Smith wrote.

โ€œGuess whose fault is that?

โ€œDonโ€™t even get me started about the mismanagement of my son.โ€

The Herald Sun has contacted Smith to confirm he was the author of the messages, and the Demons are aware of his comments.
