    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.

    I'll get my mum and her friends on the job right away.

    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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
