Oh come on Sue. Not the dreaded 4-6. I didn't realise it was career over. 

When it comes to injury reports do you ever believe what is said by clubs?

First when they are being honest ( hardly ever ) they are at best a guess. It is not a perfect science.

And then there is the normal when they are trying to keep the troops sprits up by giving the best possible results. Can always give an excuse later why it is taking longer.

Jayden Hunt is progressing far quicker than anticipated and will commence running tomorrow.

Seems pretty decent news. Gus & Petty seem the only ones a bit behind (as expected). Plus, a good sign they'll get into some actual footy work pretty early.

This must be Vanders first pre-season in about 4 years not starting in the rehab group. Hopefully he and Nietschke will have uninterrupted pre-seasons this time around.

today is 2 weeks. 4 weeks is 1st march which is almost 3 weeks before round 1 (20th March)

making round 1 unlikely, but round 2 a good possibility.

now saying round 4 to 6!

what changed?

They said 4 weeks until he starts running again not back to full training.  I dare say he then needs a good block of training

I don't remember the exact language used, but is it possible that the club meant 4 weeks from the beginning of the season proper?

It would not matter the wording. The original info is usually to down play the injury time. You can always come up with a line to explain the change.

When did the club ever say that? There was no way of knowing how long it would be until he had the surgery and the only time frame I’ve ever seen from the club is 4 weeks until he’s back running.

He has a bad knee, it was never going to be a super quick recovery. Whether he’s out until round 2 or round 6 is probably dependent on what happens when he starts running again. 

Round SIX?!?! Crikey this site gotten out of control w/the Misery guts & doom-groomers ?‍♂️

Yep I just made a negative guess. Oh wait, no I didn’t.

“Browny … with the [knee] cartilage. We’re hoping that he’d be back between Round 4 and Round 6 - it will depend a little bit on how he responds to his program.

Interesting that there's been some significant injuries or later.

Rowan Marshall is set to miss the start of the year with a stress reaction? Braydon Pruess to miss 5 months with a shoulder.

Injuries starting to mount at St Kilda.

It's God's way of telling the Saints that they're the club who'll have to move to Tassie

Whoever he hit won't be in good condition either.

I know this thread’s about Brown but I feel for Preuss, finally gets his crack as a first pick ruck and gets injured.

i'd say he's (Bradke) almost a certainty to finish his 3rd Cat B rookie this year with a promotion to the senior list, u dont put that much time in for no reason and he's one of only 2 recognised ruckmen on our list. i'd even go as far as suggesting it'll be a 2yr deal.

Why are you so certain?

Observed form and development??  Reports??  Hope and wish??

Wonder I'd they've mixed that up with Weideman?

Weideman hip, Brown knee.

Bad luck for him but a great opportunity for one of the new crop. Not perturbed by this at all.

30 this year but still contracted for 2022. May have to spend some time at Casey. Hope he does that with the good grace shown by Lewis.

2020 the year of the bomb. 2021 the year of the sniper.

On the bright side, Melksham's is possibly our easiest role to cover with existing options, and if one or more of those replacements do well then he'll be forced to earn his way back into the team.

Melksham in good form is elite in his position, but he clearly got a little bit complacent last year.  You'd never wish an injury on anyone but if it sharpens his awareness of his own footballing mortality it could be a turning point for him.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
