Better a minor arthroscope op now. Than a more serious or even same op running into the second half of the season.

Sounds as if it is minor, if it was a major or really serious situation it would have shown up previously or when he is on crutches,

Arthroscopes can fix minor problems, at the same time as looking, a gentle snip here, another there, and soon, no cartilage no problem.

 

This is not the 1960's and he is not John Townsend.  Wait for the orthopaedic surgeons report. 

 

Go Dees

    I think we will be ok.  Weideman and Luke Jackson looked great together last season before LJ's injury.

    Wow that was quick !

    Better get him onto the LT injury list and promote somebody next to useless so we all feel better

    Well unfortunately the knee is now an ongoing issue for him and it isn't going to get better.

    Surgery, recovery, recuperation, getting back to training, building up match fitness, then trying to find form.  He'll be useless for the first half of the season.

    Why can't it get better? Why is he different to the multitude of AFL players who have had a history of knee issues that get on the park every week?

    Stevie J had knee surgery on March 26 in 2013, literally in the middle of the first round in the split fixture days.

    He played in round 3.

    If they have Brown not running for 4 weeks then that’s more conservative and probably a little more going on but it doesn’t have to be curtains for the year

    Your qualifications for  that prognosis are?

     

    Um, none

    Lever had swelling in his knee on his way back from his ACL. He got back on the park ok.

    Tracc had a knee cleaned out after 2018 - He's gone ok since...

    Take a breath people!

    Worked pretty well in 2018

    He only played on the wing for about the first 3/5 mins of a quarter and sometimes not every quarter.

    Its just to get him mobile and switched on IMO.

    Sometimes arthroscopes are exploratory and sometimes they are just used to clean out the joint following a previous surgery.

    And sometimes they are used to perform relatively minor procedures; for example, my son had his meniscus repaired via an arthroscopy.

    One flare up is an ongoing issue? Alrighty then!  Hopefully your footy predictions are on par with your political predictions ?

    Since most people are not surgeons or have an intimate knowledge of what will be done, we should wait and see what happens and maybe TMcD will be used to fill in for BB unitl he returns to take up the FF position.

    Sometimes karma is your enemy other times it is your friend, just imagine if TMcD had left.

    Eh.... I'm not too bothered. Imagine if we hadn't recruited Brown and it was Weid who was injured: We'd be going into another season with a dodgy forward line that'd just got dodgier. Now it ups the ante on the others to shine so they keep their place once the Brownster is back and fighting fit and pluggin' 'em....

    Don’t stress when he comes back say round 5ish we will have a new coach (Williams) cause we will be 0 and 5 to start the season and together Williams and Brown will lead our resurgence up the ladder. 
     

    No need to worry.

    • 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.
