Luke McDonald is expected to miss several weeks of football after injuring his hamstring on Friday night.

The defender injured the tendon while chasing down Hawthorn's Cyril Rioli at Etihad Stadium and will require surgery.

"It was a tremendous effort for Luke to lay the tackle and save what would have been a goal," Director of Football Geoff Walsh told NMFC.com.au.

"Luke has had a great year and his loss will be felt, but it gives one of our other defenders a chance to come into the side and fulfil a role for us in the second half of the year."

The club will communicate a more specific length of rehabilitation for McDonald after the procedure is performed.

Lachlan Hansen could be named to take on the Crows on Thursday after being rested in the second half of Werribee's game against Essendon on Saturday.

Daniel Wells remains doubtful for the club's next clash in Adelaide while Taylor Garner suffered another hamstring setback at training and could miss 3-4 weeks.

So loving "Anytime Fitness" sponsoring our injury updates page. Any chance we could have some fit players anytime soon?

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

So many LTI's.

All to key players.

Completely f***ed.

Does anyone know if Sam Durdin is injured?
Didn't play on the weekend, but not listed on injury list.

He played Dev League.

 

[Van Nostrand]

He played Dev League.

True? Why's that? Surely he should get a gig in the VFL.
Excuse my ignorance, just curious as he's from my neck of the woods.

In the opening rounds of the season he was being played as a forward/ruck and couldn't get near it.

Some have said that he's been played down back recently, and if so hasn't set the world on fire.

Hence he was dropped. Werribee imploding hasn't helped.

Add Anderson underdone to that list too.
Just wow.

I expect Swallow, Cunnington, Waite, Wells and Anderson to play West Coast post bye.

I'm willing to bet that Jacobs will be back before Garner.

Does this mean that Higgins is potentially just 4 weeks away after the bye? And Jacobs even less?

Cheers mate.

Yes, but one would expect them to play at least two VFL games before coming back into the main side.

 

[jclei]

We just need to make it to the bye and come out the other side with a pretty strong side. It would be epic to win in Adelaide but i think the team are confident post bye we will come out swinging

9 of our best 22. Ouch.

I've heard the boys are calling Garner "Trotter"at training. It makes me sad.

Ouch.

 

[Hearts to hearts]

9 of our best 22. Ouch.

Three of our best forwards plus the next best two in line.
Four of our best midfielders.
Two reliable best-22 defenders.

Some kind of season.

Still, games like last week prove decent depth is there. Let's see where the ride takes us.

Add Durdin to that list...
