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.

    AFL website said he left the track early with a "right foot complaint"

    Not convinced either of his feet are right

    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: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
