Ladder-leaders Melbourne were unexpectedly tested by bottom-of-the-pile North Melbourne on Sunday and although the Demons managed to win, their victory came at a cost, with defender Adam Tomlinson all but certainly tearing his ACL.

Tomlinson went down early in the first term, which closely followed the pre-game withdrawal of former captain Jack Viney (toe), who will be out for two to three weeks.
