Jeff White's eye socket fracture confirmed

According to the Herald Sun Jeff White did suffer a minor fracture last Tuesday but it's only minor and is not the reason why he's out of the Hawks' clash tomorrow. He will sit out the game to give Mark Jamar and Paul Johnson a run.

It's fair enough to rest our # 1 ruckman for this Mickey Mouse Nab Cup stuff but this raises another issue that's been a bit of a bugbear with me for a long time.

OK. I understood from the news earlier in the week that there was no fracture and that Jeff was ok. Now he's got a fracture. I just wish that the club with be a bit more transparent with its injury news. Where is Colin Sylvia at right at this moment? What about Travis and Brock's injuries? The Flash, Bartram and Paul Wheatley? Are the injuries to these players all top secret information or should it be shared with the fans?

    I had the same thought myself when I read that- I am always skeptical of what is released now. Privacy laws-no!; keeping the opposition guessing- maybe; annoying the fans-yes!

    Some openness on injury would be great. It may also stop some fans 'bagging' players all season as we often don't find out things until the next year eg Robbo had this ...and Miller had that.. all 2006 season.

    I understand everyones desire to know the injury status of players. I have it myself.

    But I also understand that players my want to keep their injuries private. Jarad Couch did last year and good on him.

    There are lots of reasons not to give out details of injuries and IMO privacy is the main one.

    I don't like it but I understand it.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • 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?
