    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
