North Melbourne has confirmed that defender Ed Vickers-Willis has ruptured his ACL.
The 22-year-old was making his return to the senior side from a PCL injury last season.
He injured his knee late in the first quarter and had to be helped off by trainers.
It’s a tough blow for Vickers-Willis, who has managed just 15 games since being recruited with pick 36 in the 2014 draft.
Tom Browne has pleaded not guilty after being accused of putting his used chewy in Mark Howard’s binoculars on Friday night.
