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.

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.

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 ...

Certainly is. Hope he recovers quickly.

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. 

JKH to miss six to eight weeks

"Forward/midfielder Jay Kennedy-Harris has suffered a broken arm and will miss the next six to eight weeks."

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

both are upgrades.

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

 

Now with the injuries starting to piling up, hopefully we can now end the madness of  even contemplating Watts not being selected for round 1.

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".

Jay Kennedy-Harris info.

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.

Poor bloke can't take a trick, can he?

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
