My feeling on it was club knew about the swelling from the get go. They are a professional spring club, anyone that thinks they knew nothing about it or didn't get all the information need to get their heads checked.

Club knew he had it last year, instead of sending him in for surgery he possibility may not of needed, as it could have healed naturally over the break, they tested it. Got him training and started ramping it up, oh look it's happen again let's send him to our knee specialist and get best course of action.

 

But I guess in doing that, the professional sporting club, that have numerous people with all sorts of degrees, don't know anything they are doing.blockquote widgetlockquote widget

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!

 

Hi 58er agree with you assessments, I am by no means an expert, don't claim to be, i also don't usually comment on injurys of this nature. 

Ben is a new player to the club with an existing injury, it's why I'm so intrigued as to his progress.

So i see Ben didn't start with the 1-4 year players in December, my bad. I reckon i heard Adam Ramsnauskas on SEN saying Ben had been training from November onwards. Should have double checked this information.

I stand corrected 58er.

Wouldn't it be Norf responsibility to get Ben the best possible Medical advice on his knee while he was still contracted to them?

Or was the relationship between the club and player that strained that Ben or Club didn't follow up with the correct procedures.

Would be interesting to find out.

Tmac will have a ripping year.

Key word of the day is Consistent. Club hopes to finally address the cartilage damage in his left knee.

I believe this is how Ben Brown's knee flared up again!

Possibly the players were given their own programs to do by Burgo for the Jan start WFA so in part we are both correct but reckon he was in Tas home doing his private prep so no CluB contact available to Big Ben then.
Let's hope comes back as the real McCoy with 50 goals this season.

BahahahnahabahahabHhaaa

I know it’s belated but we can add Ben Brown to the list. It was also a “minor procedure” so probably - 4 to 6 weeks.

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.

Ben Brown has a sore knee and therefore we need to look at axing Goodwin if TMac doesn’t kick a million goals. FMD! Do you ever read what rubbish you write before you hit send?

I'm pretty sure it will all be Burgos fault entirely.

On a brighter note Ben Brown is the father of a new baby girl. I saw the announcement on Instagram and, after congratulating the new parents,  made a plea that he doesn't sit her on his knee for the next few weeks.

He timed that perfectly.

 

FFS! Not one bit excited about this season at all.

Already done with it. Weideman and now Brown.

Lucky we didn't trade Tommy Mac is all I'll say.

I love January. Full of hope and optimism.

Oh come on.....very disappointing for Sam and us. Just want to scream.

Defenders will be licking their lips now seeing McDonald as your main key forward.

Have hope. A fitter Tommy can get back to 2018 form. Optimistic I know but what else can we do? 

Said this before pre Brown and Weideman injury that I felt we still lacked depth in our forward department and was amazed we had not invited a Jackson Callow or Kaine Baldwin as a train on instead of Kobe Farmer and Deakyn Smith. Two big strong key forwards who are physically ready to go.

Callow invited to train with Hawthorn as of last week.

 

12 weeks, then getting back match fit and stress fractures sometimes are prolonged if rushed

so you'd say the chances of the Weed having a meaningful impact on the season are low

He's finished mate.

Wheels are off. Season done.
