Demons lose Jamar to injury

MELBOURNE has suffered a blow with in-form ruckman Mark Jamar ruled out for at least the next two to three weeks with a quad strain.
Jamar was found to have strained a quad after pulling up sore from last Saturday's 46-point loss to Geelong at Skilled Stadium.
Paul Johnson is likely to replace Jamar given that second-string ruckman John Meesen is out for remainder of the season with a foot injury while rookie-listed big man Jake Spencer is still trying to regain match fitness after being sidelined for three weeks with an ankle injury.
Meanwhile Paul Wheatley, who was a late withdrawal from the game against the Cats, will
miss at least the next fortnight because of a quad strain while promising youngster Jack Grimes (back) will need to pass a fitness test if he is to play against Sydney at Manuka Oval in Canberra on Sunday.
