Yeah it is a concern but he was never going to be a risk free pick. I went in with my eyes open knowing he was likely to cop some knocks during the year.
I don't believe his injury impacted his score. I really do think is was just one of those games that didn't suit him.
Hurn played a totally different role last year than in the past or what he is/will be playing this year due to our backline injuries. No use comparing years.

From the Herald Sun:
MELBOURNE will not consider Christian Petracca for senior selection until his fitness is up to scratch to compete on the big stage.
Petracca made his long-awaited return in Demons match-simulation training last week, but despite glimpses of his best coach Paul Roos wants to give the midfielder time in the VFL.
“We know he can do some special things but fitness is the important thing ... once he’s really fit we can start to judge form,” Roos said.
A decision will be made this week on how much game time Petracca will get in the VFL.

For anyone that has this rookie:
MELBOURNE defender Oscar McDonald is almost certain to miss his side's clash against Essendon on Saturday with an ankle injury, opening the door for veteran Lynden Dunn to return to the team.
Also some news on Clayton Oliver:
Roos also indicated NAB AFL Rising Star nominee Clayton Oliver is likely to be given a spell at some stage throughout the season, despite an impressive 22-disposal effort against the Giants. "You learn from your young guys every year. Last year we probably ran Angus (Brayshaw) into the ground a little bit. "But those young guys you look to rest. There was a game last year where Gussy had the flu and we probably should've pulled him out.
"We learn from that. I certainly wouldn't think [Oliver] will play all games this year."

Or if he actually plays a fantasy friendly role 
The best defenders for SC these days are either the KPP Rance types or those that are actually playing midfield this year (ie, next year's mid only selections). Hurn is in the no-man's land in that he is neither of these.

Vardy to miss up to six weeks with an ankle sprain will be in moon boot for at least two weeks and then will return to training and eventually geelongs 2's and push for a recall.
Injury occurred when he was laying on the ground and a fellow player fell on his foot. (must of been fairly bad to miss this long you think)
source was on news on the radio at 6pm
Good news for smith owners now just need stanley to get out of the way.
