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.

Not sure he will get a contract..,

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

Heel be back ☺️

Only if his heel heals. 

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

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.

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

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
