Amazing to see how many of you are short-term thinkers



 

I’ve been a short term thinker since 1964

    Which like me has turned into a long term disaster movie.

    Not the best news but not the worst, I suppose  surgery was always going to be the result with persist swelling. Question is will they be able to manage him well enough to prevent the swelling from becoming a regular issue.

    Ben has obviously been training in some discomfort for a couple of months now going on the amount of tape wrapped around his knee.

    Why wasn't a call made earlier to explore the knee in greater detail?

    [censored] poor planning and injury forecasting from the club, should have been onto it alot earlier than this week.

    Surely there was a touch point plan in place that if Ben was training in discomfort after the new year it he would have a clean up.

    Would have been wise to explore the knee if it was still flairing up after the first week back?

    wasted a month for no good reason.

    Won't see him till around match day 6-8 everything going to plan.

    Won't hold my breath.

    WFA No training didn't start till JAN 5/6 

    You are assuming OLD times 2020 went a month longer and only 4 years and under ( and any others that wanted to) started in late 2020 and Browny acc. To reports was not on the track till Jan.

    So your argument time wise sort of breaks down.

    Yes it's not ideal but this injury seems reliably and professionally approached with a sensible as possible outcome.

    Will also be a good test for Tommy Mac Jacko and Weid early on.

    Now all the forwards know the Heat is on and serious competition will be the norm from now on!

    None of the track reports I read noted that he was “obviously” in discomfort. And I’m not sure what injury “forecasting” is. There’s no way to predict when a player will get injured. Do you mean ongoing monitoring of the knee given his history?

    We’ve got the best in the business in Burgess leading the fitness and medical team. He got our full list fit and firing last year after the shambles that was 2019 so I think he deserves a bit more faith. From all accounts BB was training well and other than the bandage on the knee was showing no ill effects at all.

    I think we all need to take a chill pill and let the medical team do their thing. Much better to get this treated now than after the season had started.

    But that does not fit into the 'club mismanages injuries and we got a dud' narrative all the Chicken Littles are running with. You would think some on here prefer the club to fail.

    I'm pretty sure everything that's been said about his knee mentions he was not in pain.

    Interesting, gives a bit of perspective. Maybe it's not as debilitating as some here have thought...

    Sounds to me like we decided to take the really cautious and deliberate approach and fix it early instead of trying to manage it throughout the year.

    Funny that.

    Seeing some of the self proclaimed doctors on here, they've already ruled him out for the year?

    Fairy normal right to have major knee surgery (last year) and have lingering issues soon after...

    As usual the sky hasn't fallen in and it's not strawberry fields. It's somewhere in the middle.

    We'll have a better idea where he is at come round four.  In the meantime Jackson, the Weed and possibly TMac need to cover for BB.

    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. 

    Good thing Grand Finals are won in the second half of the season, then.

    Exactly right. Nearly all major knee injuries / operations often result in minor ongoing issues, especially for athletes.

    I am happy the club jumped on the swelling as soon as it became an issue. Better to nip it in the bud early and have him play the majority of the season / his career pain free.

    BDA no pills need to be taken here perfectly chilled, Ben was obviously playing in pain last year with his output and season ending before the break right? So there might have been a risk of it flairing up in a game situation right?

    I'm sure the MFC we're all over it they might have missed something Norf's Docs might not be as thorough as ours.

    Did Ben get anything explored within the knee with Norf? Did he have any surgery or just let it heal naturally?

    Just some of the questions i would like to be answered. 

    Injury Forecasting is a new buzz word in NBA which covers injury prevention, monitoring, recovery and planning  might be ahead of schedule with my terminology.

    Just Frustrated would like all our players training together with no issues. Nothing's perfect BDA.

    Some of the "doctors" on here should stick to team selection or AFL rulesto comment.

    Actually  come to think of it they are Sort of sh.....se at them also!!!

    Norf done good.

    Why he didn’t go through the Richmond medical team is beyond me.

    Keeps feeding the negative ones who not only are a half glass empty but a QUARTER glass all the time.

    They are like Trump need to create chaos and trouble so they can look good "solving all the dramas" at the Club. But of course they don't because they don't use facts and information provided. Eg saying Ben Brown should have declared this injury in the first month  ( before Christmas )  BB and most seniors started training on Jan 6 th. Others only turned up early prior to Christmas break as voluntary.  
    But not many have realised and allowed for the different times this year and last fir season ending later and later start for all ages o  the lists.  But don't let these facts  get in the way of the Injury story as the Club looks worse if you don't!!

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
