The football career of Will Chambers remains uncertain, but the Melbourne centre knows being ruled out indefinitely with a rare blood clotting disorder is the best case scenario for rash-like symptoms that could have been fatal or diagnosed as leukaemia.

The 24-year-old first noticed the spots on the flight back from Auckland last Sunday, reported them to the club doctor at recovery the next morning and by Monday evening was in hospital undergoing life-saving platelet treatment.
