Demon cleared of concussion, sent for scans on knee
Luker Kentfield is one of two players sent for scans after Friday's abandoned practice match between Melbourne and Richmond
MELBOURNE key forward Luker Kentfield has passed a concussion test, but has been taken to a local hospital for scans on his left knee after a sickening collision during Friday's practice match in Ballarat.
Just before the first of two lightning delays that ultimately saw the match against Richmond abandoned during the third quarter, Kentfield copped contact to the head during a marking attempt before landing awkwardly.
For the Tigers, draftee Sam Cumming will require scans on his already-strapped right shoulder after leaving the field in the first quarter, having shown some nice signs early.
