2021 Injury List

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....

    Word has it he’s shot and they’ll amputate his leg. Melbourne will be reimbursed with a top 10 draft pick in 2022

    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.

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
