Bad luck to vanders. Good luck with the recovery. Can't wait to have you back on the park.

Gee, it doesn't take an ACL to miss a season.

    Good luck Vanders, I didn't like the sound of it at the start of the year and his return date just kept getting pushed further and further back. 

    Do it right and set him up for a good 2018.

    Best of luck to him as he hasn't had a good run at it for the last couple of years.  

    You wonder about the surgery and it's success, as how he pulls up from it could decide if he gets another contract or not.  Hopefully all goes well as he is a very good player to have across half forward.

    We have missed him. I look forward to seeing him 100% fit and firing. He has been under an injury cloud for most of his career thus far.

    His best is yet to come.

    I have no inside info but would not be at all surprised if a one year contract extension was quietly confirmed in the next few weeks

    Still think he's best 22, even with the up and coming kids.

    Only if his heel heals. 

    Any detail as to what is the diagnosis and what surgery he is having?  Plantar fasciitis?  

  • Quote

    I don't think we've seen anything near AVB's best football.  Hopefully he can be ready for day one of preseason because he could be a serious player with a bit more luck on his side.

    as a rookie ? is it a heel, or is it another bone in foot?

  • Quote

    Can't help but think this is a continuation of last year's injury and he hasn't been right since pre-season 2016. Sad for the lad, especially after the journey he took to get listed. And best of luck in the recovery - I too think that his best may provide a bit of a surprise.

    Hope to see him back to his best next year....he's a beast of a man, would be important in the forward line mix with his tackling and goal kicking if he can get fit

  • Quote

    Doctors missed a bone growing out of the crack in is heel... 

    BIG miss and has cost him the season

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
