I guess no news is good news until we get the bad news. 

[Nasher 33,047]

We're MFC supporters, apparently no news is terrible news.

Club confident on Brayshaw

A little bit of reassurance and a bit more time to worry:

We are awaiting further consultation regarding Angus Brayshaw's knee injury before making an exact diagnosis. http://mfcde.es/24y1KSf 

[Gorgoroth 12,305]

Awaiting a specialist who is overseas to look at the scans.

believe it's better to wait a couple of days and get the best to diagnose it opposed to another giving their diagnoses sooner.

426 is code for Nick Smith isn't it?  It used to be on 'ology anyway.

I think it was his 2005 year when he earnt that nickname. Missed 15 straight games with a knee and was listed as 4-6 the entire time.

Possibly just me but  seems two sets of rules going around.  If it happens TO a Melb player... "play on"  ..nothing to see here...BY a Melb player....  hotline to the MRP !!

Harlett leaves the ground to accentuate the tackle and thumping into the ground.  I recall somewhere this is frowned upon... Result.. Brayshaw buggers knee... game goes on.

Ollie lays a fair and legal tackle.. "without leaving the ground" ...opponent has hands free...and cops a fine

Why hasn't the Port player been cited here ??

Is Julian Feller the only trustworthy orthopaedic surgeon in the whole city? That's a worry!

No but he is considered the best. And if you trust his jedgement then you would wait for his opinion. Simples.

No but he's the only one the AFL clubs trust. Kind of silly. But they've picked their man so they stay with him.

 

[DeeSpencer 23,058]

Sounds like more than just a straight medial strain, but still not huge damage. Best case scenario is round 1 after conservative management. Worst case (given nothing else goes wrong) he might need a clean out and have to miss a few early rounds. In which case the long term prognosis might not be great if he has to have too much cartilage shaved off. Then again, get him in the stem cell trial and it will heal up fine.

Sad that he doesn't own a laptop to see scans whist o/s

Yes, I too looked at that tackle, seemed very deliberate, almost as if under instruction how to execute the second part of the tackle with holding on to, while off the ground,

B until he dropped.

I think citing Harlett for his tackle is a bit of a billy stretch.

The MRP is cracking down on slinging - arms free or not - BUT I think they have shifted the goal posts as part of the deal has always been slinging AND  the arms are pinned AND two motions - I don't think the Oliver tackles meets the arms pinned or two motions. I am not surprised the AFL is cracking down on slinging in general as it is hard to control - and even if arms are free the whipping nature of the tackle means a risk of head injury even with the arms free as  the player being tackled may not be able to brace. It would just help if it was clear to all that this is how they were going to adjudicate before they started penalising ( maybe they have told the clubs and we don't know ?)  

On a side note - I typed in NRL dangerous throw - and look at this link - http://www.nrl.com/nrl-judiciary-code--dangerous-throw/tabid/10959/contentid/735083/default.aspx

Wow - NRL for the supporters - they explain the rule and give video examples to highlight what is a dangerous throw.  That is how it is done AFL - wake up to yourselves.

And Oliver's appears to be the only incident looked at.

No melee occurred at another game?

Protected species perhaps.
