Has anyone got an update on Vanders?

You must have known something was up because he's not training today.

Demon royalty is a big call for vandenBerg! Good player but doesn't quite have the runs on the board yet I wouldn't have thought.

    The report from training wasn't that he wasn't training, it was that he hobbled towards AAMI from training.

    This bloke is like Tingay. Great when he's in the team. But rarely in it.

    Was very consistent until falling through a windows...devastating blow but that was our luck in the mid 90s.

    Sadly, it’s damaged goods at this stage. 
    Any game Vanders plays will be a bonus. 
     

    A shame because he plays hard

    Uum, as I interpreted the information; I think he stubbed his big toe. Now that could be a career ending injury or not. Guessing and invoking the syndrome is a pointless practice. But what the hell, go ahead, we all need someone to ............ (please insert appropriate adjective)

    I'm not picking on you, but his first year was 1989 when he played 12 games. His big miss years were '92 when he played 6, '97 when he played 3 and '99 when he played 9...

    Poor Vanders. I reckon it just isn't going to work for him. I hope I'm wrong because the whole team plays differently with him around which is a big statement but true.

    And I agree about Tingay. He was an absolute gun ruined by injury. He may have played 192 games, but he could easily have played 300. And half of those 192 were under an injury cloud, returning from injury, or after an interrupted pre-season.

    Everyone seems to be making assumptions, fact is we don't know what the issue is. Someone could've stood on his foot for all we know.

    Let's cross our fingers and hope for the best.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
