TMac has a meniscus tear requiring surgery, done for the year.

 

Meniscus tear can usually be easily surgically removed via arthroscopic keyhole surgery. Doesn’t usually require months off the leg. Most people are walking within a day or two. Of course MFC may choose to take a cautious approach...

    If we were playing finals it may be different but more than happy with cautious approach.

    I did mine last year. 6 weeks on crutches with a cyborg style brace (7-8 weeks). It depends on the type of tear.

     he’s been carrying a foot injury too... so time off legs could b helpful for a number of reasons. Hoping we’ve focused all our bad luck and bad kicking fr goal into one year ! So the footy curse can move on to another team in 2020 and leave us free fr one big crack it’ll at it.

    already looking forward  to having him back ready  fr a big pre season alongside lever, melksham, May, Joel Smith, VDB ( if he plays again) Hannon and Jetta..

    As I have no cartilage in either knee after 5 menisectomies I can understand the cautious approach. Minor tears can heal but take 6 weeks and more major tears can be stitched and take longer to heal. Not sure about current orthopaedic practices but surgeons appear to be very conservative about snipping out cartilage. cartilage doesn’t grow back and arthritis is more likely to develop in the knee later in life.

    Do you think that VDB will ever play again?

    Correct. And it depends on the approach the surgeon or physio take to recovery/rehab.

    It’s that or cry. How good has 2019 been?

    It’s been so good that I’m thrilled it’s not an ACL as I was fully prepared for the worst. 

    This season can go eat a bag of d$&ks

    VDB, the two Smiths, KK... all injury prone players.

    Taking each player alone the list can carry them but can you support  a list where almost 10% of your players begin well behind par from a fitness viewpoint.

    I'd give Tim S the rest of the season and see if he can stand the heat. If not.. goodbye

    Joel Smith.. bye

    AVB... bye (medical retirement)

    KK... one more year.... he's still young and I think there's something there but be ready to delist/medically retire mid way through next season.

    All are very tough decisions but they need to be made.

    Tough on Joel Smith. I honestly believe he is going to be a very good player. Looked like he was about to tear the game apart before injury in the pre season.

    Joel Smith has pace and kicked 6 on one leg (or groin) during the JLT. He can ply both ends. I dunno why would say bye to him

    I hope so when he is playing, we seem to go up another level.

    He also lost his Dad, i think last year, so he may be given some time from the club to get his mind and body right for next season?

    I can see us finishing second last this year; with the rate of injury that we’re having at the moment, we’ll be lucky to have 22 players by round 23!

    Carltank should be able to beat GC17 in coming weeks, and then they’ll be one fluke win behind us, which would put us equal on points but (probably) behind them on percentage

    2019...what a year.......

    I think it’s his foot, nothing to do with crack.

    11 games in three years with one goal at AFL level.

    If we had no other players predisposed to injury then ... yes.... but we have four.. is he the best of the four?

    Ah no it wouldn"t and you don't just "Remove" the Meniscus you actually repair it generally putting in some stitches , which take time to fuse the fibres together. You would not have seen him before next season, even if a Grand Final was at stake!!

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
