Really sad for JKH, he'd had an excellent pre-season and this is just rotten luck for him.

    Bad luck for both players, and it definitely changes my expected thoughts re round 1 unless VDB in particular can get fit; I really thought he was part of the expected side vs the Saints.

    Apparently Jack Viney went in for a scan too??

    Viney had tape and a plastic guard over two fingers at the season launch the other night.

    He said it was a flare-up of the earlier injury, but nothing to worry about. If he has had scans, I'd imagine it's just a precautionary thing.

    On his hand/finger he broke last year. All good is the word.

    JKH with a broken arm, out for four weeks.

    vandenBerg with a foot injury, not sure how bad.

    M Burgan has reported 6 to 8 weeks for JKH, poor kid!

    I'd like to see Trengove tried as a half forward if fully fit. The guy is a great mark and a reliable set shot. With Vanders out great chance to see if he could play that role. 

    I'll call Garland a sneaky chance to get a high half forward role.

    Must have hurt it when he was head-butting the Carlton player in the hand ...

    Had a scan on his jaw too I believe, thought it may have been fractured after he was laughing for hours on end after Marc Murphy tried to fight him.

    Extremely, extremely doubtful.  We have depth in positions now, and I can't for the life of me see them "trying" a bloke in a position that he hasn't been training all summer for, especially when we have other more suitable replacements ready to go that have been training there.

    Watts for VDB

    Tyson for JKH

    bwattoth are upgrades.

    Watts for VDB a good thing, I like VDB but not in the  expense of Watts.

    Like others have said, there are injuries and there are injuries. 

    Not great for the players concerned, not great for depth, but barely a ripple on the best 22.

    Hopefully Kent can play in at least one of the remaining two games (JLT or Casey) and mount a claim for round one.

    Nervous anticipation upon seeing the thread title.

    Relief upon reading the news.

    Guilt upon feeling relief.

    Finally arrive at sympathy for the player involved.

    Been "on a journey" Nasher.

    We don't know that Vanders is definitely out yet...his ankles are an ongoing concern but it might just be a management issue

    i just love how the melbournefc.com.au website keeps its members up to date. FMD

     

    Your problem DD is you expect club web sites to be more than positive spin.

    They will get round to mentioning it however if you want all the news ASAP stay on Demonland.

    Mark Stevens tweet: "Dees confirm Kennedy Harris 6-8 weeks. Vandenberg fate still unclear after scans yesterday @7NewsMelbourne".

    How does a broken arm effect your running capacity? hopefully he will be able to remain fit enough to start games straight away.

    Hasn't had a good run and is out of contract this year.

    Really unlucky for the kid as well. Had a good chance to cement a spot in the team with potential Kent and garlett out in the early rounds

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
