Angus Brayshaw's knee injury (minor strain - 4 weeks)

Low grade medial and should be right for round 1 on current prognosis. 

Nothings for certain but if they are confident it's not the ACL or other damage then that's a good result, it was a nasty landing on what I assume was firm ground.

    Have they said anything much about Angus Brayshaw's injury?

    Simon Goodwin mentioned it was a minor medial injury in his press conference. Thought he should be ok for round one.

    Diagnosis of a medial strain is good news in itself as far as knee injuries go.

    Wait for the scans. It's concerning that he can't weight bear on that lower limb. 

    But is it a case of can't bear weight, or is avoiding doing so until it is fully investigated?

    Honestly, if the kid's done a knee, I'm gonna break stuff and make a sacrifice to the footy gods!

    I can't wait to see Petracca, Brayshaw, Hogan, Harmes, Vanders, Stretcha and ANB in the same team!

    But he could.  He was walking slowly, nut normally in the rooms.

    The crutches were merely to protect the knee until they have scans.

    ACL you can test before the scans. You can put pressure on it pretty easily to make sure it's intact.

    Drawer test isn't totally accurate though, they'll still do scans to make sure.

    Petracca could walk on his when he did his knee.

    He didn't twist it, it was the force of the tackle that his knee hit the ground hard when he was pushed in the back.

    From the MFC website: "After the game and on crutches, Brayshaw was unable to put any weight on his left leg."

    I'd be more concerned about a minor fracture or the so-called "bone bruising" that shows up on MRI given the mechanism of injury. ACL tear appears unlikely (but still possible, or PCL).

    Petracca's was different in that he jarred his knee landing.

    Brayshaw didn't, he was forced into the ground. He didn't seem to twist or hyperextend the knee...

    So let's hope for the best.

    Let's argue about this not knowing the details. We can keep ourselves amused for hours. 

    Alternatively we could wait for the scans.

    Damn you and your illegal tackle Hartlett :mad:

    That's not how we roll here at Demonland though Bob.  There are 'doctor's' littered all over this site who'll be able to determine what's happened without scans or actually being there.  Let them have their fun!

    Not a problem. We now have Goodwin's Law in force, if only for the next few weeks.

    Doesn't seem like anyone is super worried about it, so that's a good sign, i reckon if it were an ACL we'd know by now.

    That's what I would call desperate.

    Try Nostradamus, I never have any luck calling him, he seems to know when I am going to ring him, and the phone rings out.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
