2021 Injury List

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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
