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

    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.

    Set to miss just round 1, according to afl site

    He was rusty as against the hawks; needs more playing time - presuming there actually will be football this season...

    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.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
