Yep just like every other year, wrecked through injury. 

Reminds me of recruiting Kelvin Templeton, perhaps the most potent full forward imaginable. It was not a good season and / or outcome.

    As with Hawthorn taking Scully & Patton from GWS on seemingly favourable deals, the eagerness of NM to be done with Brown should have been a warning sign for Melbourne.

    But yet again we were so desperate to add talent from other clubs, instead of developing our own, that we rushed in to sign Brown with $3M worth of contract. 

    Thankfully we had talked McDonald's value down so far that there were no takers, otherwise we would be looking at starting another season with Weideman as our only true key position forward.

    Are you suggesting we shouldn't have taken Bernie Vince or Jordan Lewis?

    I can't believe people on here believe people shouldn't be training with strapping....

    Almost every player in the competition has some sort of strapping, the majority would be ankle related.

    Judd played with shoulder strapping his whole career, didn't seem to slow him down.

    Kicks 6 in a quarter in a practice hit out.

    In full training, not in rehab - for the whole preseason so far

    Swelling detected in knee

    No rushed for scans, but scheduled 48 hours later (Perhaps when acute phase of swelling has concluded)

    The sky is not falling, in my humble view.

    Suggest this is to make decisions regarding load and management rather than ‘season ending’.

    I can guarantee it’s the same people whinging about the end of our year due to Brown being are injured are the same people who whinged about recruiting him in the 1st place,

    This one is less of a concern than the Viney foot injury. Brown has been very durable and only suffered knee problems for the first time last year. He’s played all matches in a season 5 times out of 7 since debut.

    Viney has missed tons of matches through ongoing foot injury. He’s only played a full season once out of 8 due to injury!

    Browns injury sounds like a bit of swelling while adjusting to full load again after a layoff. Not panic stations yet. Vineys is a big concern and hopefully he doesn’t miss more matches to that foot problem.

    The thing with Vin is it was just a small Plantar fasciitis release, something you can snap and not get fixed so im not too worried about it, hopefully.

    You are not fitting with the narrative that the club is cursed and BBB will never play a game for the MFC. I do totally agree with you though.

    Let's just wait and see,  hopefully it might be a better outcome than we expected Ds 56. Have to think positive,

    These things never end well, remember how Andrew Mcleod, Shaun Burgoyne and Joel Selwood all struggled after being diagnosed with degenerative knee issues.

    They just couldn't get the management right and their careers ended prematurely.

    hopefully the club stops coughing up first round picks but I'm not as negative as others. It just means that Tom McDonald must get back to 2018 form.  If he does, we will do well, if not... it's another 9-12 season with no improvement. unless we sack Goodwin early.

    It’s obviously not great that his troublesome knee has flared up after ramping up training but this is common with players coming back from any sort of long term injury. We’ve recruited him for a few years not just round 1 2021. The hysteria on here is amazing. I’m dec thankful that we kept T-Mac. This is his chance prove everyone wrong.

    But did he really? I've only seen a transcript of Max Gawn's comments and it seemed like a flippant, throw-away line designed to deflect more than anything else. Has it been stated by anyone else that he genuinely kicked 6 in a quarter? And even if he did, so what? He could have been playing on no-one or being deliberately the only forward that the ball was being delivered to.

    In a video just released with Tom McDonald he slipped at one stage that Brown possibly out for a month

    he said IF ben brown is injured for the next month or so, it will change where he's training as a wing or as a forward

  • Quote

    For those interested, in the Talking Points video, Tom McDonald referred to BB as 'potentially out for a month or so'.

    Haha...bit late to the party.

    Gawn was just interviewed on 3AW and he didn’t think the Brown injury was anything serious.

    Also said Viney should play one of the pre season games.

    I wouldn’t get too excited as Gawn strikes as me as a half glass full guy.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
