Mihocek went down in the first quarter against Sydney and that is the whole story — 15 points from a player who left the ground before half-time. The injury is confirmed at 3-5 weeks, Kings Birthday return is the optimistic scenario, and the replacement role at Melbourne will not be held for him. The two consecutive above-BE rounds in R6-R7 that were building a buy case are dead. Trade him out this week; bleeding -$4,389 per round on an injured player helps nobody.
