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....

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • NON-MFC: Round 14

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
