That makes 3 who could be starting 5 out of the line up. Have DPs now playing significant minutes.
Know the mantra for the JJs is next man up but damn it makes it tough now.

JJs might still find a way, knowing them, but geez the door is wide open for Brisbane and Adelaide! You'd think the top 5 are pretty close to finals bound but it could be a great battle for that last spot.

His loss of scoring will be the biggest loss, I still think JJs will finish sixth and then you never know. I'd be thinking a few sides will be cheering form them to miss play in all together.

Big loss Deng lighting up Harrell was the reason Tasmania beat Adelaide.
Think New Zealand win with PJC coming back.

JJ's to finish 6th, United 3rd or 4th
JJ's win, United loses.....
Dean Vickerman's worst nightmare!

In that case if Melbourne win their first finals game they avoid the JJs until the GF.

Hence why I said "JJ's win, United loses...."
United has plenty of time to turn it around, but they've been very shaky lately.
They're one of the few healthy teams, they've won a couple of nail biters against teams with injuries (Sydney, NZ) and had a very unimpressive win in Cairns where the teams combined to miss countless open shots.
Arguably the Sydney win was a strong victory, but they almost threw that one away.
Haven't played a strong 4 quarter performance in ages.
As I said, there's time. But right now things are far from positive.
