    At the 3/4 time break the physio & doctor? were working on him the whole time, checking him with a stethoscope etc. so that's no surprise

    If this is true, it's a shame for a young player who from all reports was progressing well at Casey.

    Luckily, a punctured lung can be a pretty straight forward issue and he should be back playing soon.

    I think i'll bring one to the G next home game ...getting too freaky for me.

    Being the Melbourne "Demons", surely we must have a few practicing wiccans out there. Come on guys, get a circle going and cast a protection spell or something! :huh:

    I've had a punctured lung before. Nothing too serious, though there's varying levels of "punctured". Mine fixed itself and the doctors weren't at any stage particularly concerned. I kept asking if I needed medication and was assured it heals itself. :wacko:

    that sucks. but i think its often a fast healing injury if its not too bad.

    Shame, he played well last week!

    Missen is exercising this club - but we actually need someone else to exorcise us!

    We seriously cannot take a trick injury-wise.

    Yes....usually straightforward but remember Ricky Petterd who had a rare one that was immediately life threatening and only salvaged by timely medical intervention.

    Hoping for a full and rapid recovery.

    Petterd's problem was a cyst that allowed air into the chest cavity and not back into the lung. This is markedly different to Harmes' issue which would be as a result of a collision.

    What sort of impact caused it, if you don't mind me asking Lamashtu?

    I remember Petterd was in a pretty serious state when he punctured a lung a few years ago.

    What caused the puncture? In other words, did he also get a broken rib (a common cause of punctured lungs)? If so, I suspect the rib damage might keep him out of the game longer than the lung puncture. Either way, I hope he recovers quickly.

    Tom Mcdonald missed a week with a punctured lung in 2012.

    All the best Harmesy, hope you get back to full health quickly and get out on the field playing again soon

    I think Ricky had a burst cyst in the lung that wasn't allowing air to exhale, it was life threatening at the time. The doctor had to actually puncture his lung with a needle to let air out. A different situation I think.

    Bang on, it was a burst cyst.

    He was just lucky the club doctor correctly identified it at the time.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast Eagles

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
