UNFORTUNATELY

Fair enough opinion - but I did have a chuckle imagining someone yelling this, especially the "UNFORTUNATELY"

    Too much hysteria about investing in talented injured players. 2/3rds of the list actually play - about 30-32/44. That's 12-14 who don't play.

    If one of AVB, Bennell, KK or Smith make it then it's worth the risk IMO.

    I've asked before but don't think I've had a reply. Has KK trained at all this year? If not, and he has no prospect of playing, surely we should re ruin another player?

    I know we all love him as a bloke and the attitude he brings on field, but giving someone 3 years because you think you can get 1 year out of them seems pretty poor management to me.

    Clutching at straws.  I clearly said that offering 3 years allowed for him to give us 2 years of onfield return.

    This year is the 2nd of his extension.  Until last week, he was on track to deliver that, but went down with a contact injury.

    Be nice to know what hes actually done to his foot this time

    Exactly. Is it a new, unrelated injury or an extension of the original that's hampered him long term?

    AVB is a hard, tough big bodied boy and I love the way he goes about his footy but this could be a silver lining for someone else to fill his shoes who adds something different to the side.

    I just saw that - AFL website. The MFC website is a sad, unfunny joke.

    Lets hope the report is accurate and it is short term. I am firmly in the camp of those who think he is a terrific player. His combination of steadiness and hardness is fantastic.

    Please take the AFLW news to a different place. Intermingling with the AFL on the MFC website is annoying.

    Not necessary and irrelevant to AVB's current foot injury

    • AVB accidently kicked an opponent's leg when taking a kick early in the game...
    • he continued on but was limping.
    • It was the sort of accident that could happen to any player. 
    • I understand the concerns!

    you have never been the same room as the truth,your  post is all just your opinion and has no factual bearing on his injury

    But relevant to the quoted reference: “The MFC website is a sad, unfunny joke”.

    Not at all relevant. The quote was in regards to lack of information about injuries, a legitimate criticism.

    Not the completely legitimate decision to host news relating to one of the club's teams on the club's website.

    Oh, I agree with you. I think the lack of info coming out of the club sucks, especially regarding injuries.

    I was just responding to someone insinuating the website was a sad, unfunny joke due to the presence of the AFLW news.

    Missing the point mate.

    Signed vB for 3 years. Ditched Kent who simply wanted more than 1 year.

    It's at best, inconsistent.

    I'm not saying Kent is a gun, I'm talking about the contract decisions based on both players outputs.

     

    Kent was a party boy. Other reasons came into play.

    Vandenbergs foot probably would of been at a high risk of exploding on the hard ground at optus oval anyway in R1. rest him up, he might come in handy as a battering ram later in the season.

    If so he wasn't alone,  KLV.   There have been many in recent and not so recent memory.   And most, at least recently, were traded away.

      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?
