Mihocek experienced ‘lack of feeling’<\/a><\/p>\nCollingwood and Melbourne’s King’s Birthday clash goes down to the wire as Brody Mihocek is taken to hospital after a serious injury.<\/p>\n
Alan Richardson, Melbourne’s general manager of AFL football performance, expressed relief that the operation had gone as planned.<\/p>\n
“You never want to see an incident in our game like what we saw with Brody on Monday,” Richardson said.<\/p>\n
“Brody is in the very best of care and was able to undergo surgery last night, which, thankfully, went as planned.<\/p>\n
“Our primary focus right now is supporting Brody, his partner Polly, and their family through his recovery, while ensuring his return to full health.”<\/p>\n
There was also injury fallout for Collingwood after its eight-point loss to Melbourne.<\/p>\n
Defender Brayden Maynard suffered two shoulder dislocations during the match.<\/p>\n
Maynard went in for scans on Tuesday morning and confessed to being unsure whether he would need surgery.<\/p>\n
An operation on Maynard’s right shoulder would most likely end his season.<\/p>\n
“Hopefully, I can just strengthen the [shoulder] and get back out there within a couple of weeks,” Maynard said.<\/p>\n
“But we’ll see how we go. If I have to get surgery, I will have to get surgery.”<\/p>\n
