NORTH MELBOURNE skipper Brent Harvey is facing an extended stint on the sidelines after dislocating his elbow in his side's 36-point loss to Richmond at Etihad Stadium on Saturday night.
Harvey went to ground clutching his elbow after an innocuous tackle from Tigers midfielder Matt White in the first term.
Kangaroos coach Dean Laidley said the best-case scenario would see Harvey miss six to seven weeks.
"He's in for a long stint on the sidelines," Laidley said.
"He dislocated his elbow. If he's torn the ligaments it will be at least 12 weeks, and if the ligaments are still intact it will probably be six to seven."
Laidley also said promising young defender Lachlan Hansen will miss two to three weeks after suffering a hamstring injury in the final quarter.
