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.

    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.”

    As long as it isn’t a new injury, i am not concerned yet. 
     

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

    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?

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

    So nothing to do with his knee then?

    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.

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

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
