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

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
