He's trained all season with a mountain of tape. I'd have a pretty simple rule, if you want to train you can't be taped up. Come back when you've fixed it.

Anyway, as a Brown skeptic I'm sad for him but hopeful the Weid gets his chance alongside Jackson and either Fritsch or possibly a ruck/wing/forward McDonald. 

The 3 big talls up forward was never going to work.

When things are glum there’s worse to come

At any given point, this will exclude more than half the list. 

“Following scans on Monday afternoon, it has been decided that we will get the opinion of knee specialist Julian Feller to determine the best course of action,” General Manager of AFL Football Performance Alan Richardson told Melbourne Media.

“The club will be in a position to provide further information following Ben’s consultation on Wednesday.”

Sir, i knew nothing about his previous knee concerns, what makes you think it is ok if it is the injury from last season?

FFS, this has Misson's mitts all over it.

I have it from a current AFL coach that recruiting Brown was a mistake, and that given current trends in tactic, we'd be better off without him. 

And, no, I'm not going to reveal the sauce. I've already rounded it down to 18 people out of 25 million.

I like this combination...I think it worked well in the few games they played together last year.

Not a big sample size admittedly but good non the less.

The concern is that the injury is from a significant impact (tackle from Blicavs) and whatever surgery they performed hasn't seemed to have had much benefit.

I would hazard a guess and say it's not bursitis so the knee just can't be structurally right in my opinion which means this could be a long recovery period.

I'm guessing it wasn't Goodwin so maybe we can narrow it down to 17...

18? Was it Simon Goodwin? 

Daniher kicks 100 for Bris. Brown never gets on the park for the MFC. Lock it in.

Any idea how much he’s costing us a year? 750K?

I hear a rumour that Tmac kicked the [censored] out of him in the showers.

Pickett, Oliver, Smith, Langdon, Salem all need a rest then.

So nothing to do with his knee then?

Definitely a dud trade.  Is there a way we can untangle it and get Preuss back?

I’m at panic stations already because of my MFCSS issues let alone the Clarke debacle all of those years ago thrown in on top.
To be fair people did question the trade for a bloke with a knee injury but most (inc me) thought it was fine if we did the trade. ie we did our due diligence. 
Fingers crossed for the further review, without him we’re a little fkd.

What? Like Tom Lynch at Richmond you mean?

Kicking those 6 goals has given him a repetitive strain injury.

 

There was a certain player that Geelong wanted to trade the medical report said don't r recruit this player he won't play many games, that players nam Steve j
