In an interview discussed here: 

Goodwin said of B.Brown and Weideman:  "They're both on track, pretty much in line with each other..."we'll have to manage that as a team. They'll both obviously come back through the VFL, so we'll get a good indication as to when they're ready to play AFL footy."

So whatever the time frame is it applies to both and we may not see them in the seniors for quite a while..

Does anyone know if the two months quoted applies to Ben Brown as well as Weideman. The initial thoughts for Ben Brown when he was operated on was 4-6.

Long suffering The  four for Ben  was for him to start running at 4 weeks so 6 was never the time based on that initial advice.  More like 8/10 .

Sam was 10/12 weeks from Day 1 Which may indicate  he is doing ok but Ben  May be a bit behind it seems.

I think we all should be mindful of just what Goody has said re VFL and also it may not be the absolute body blow it first seemed depending upon Tmac M.Brown form and fitness. Jacko Majak and Kye Eclase.Plus our new found mix of smalls and Fritta as supporting  acts. 

Clearly we are looking at it long term rather than short which means we still believe we will expect to compete and win say 3/4 ( or more) out of our first 6.

    AFL site:

    Demons midfielder Jack Viney is facing an uphill battle to return from foot surgery for round one, but Angus Brayshaw will play in a VFL practice match this weekend as he makes his bid to play in the season opener. Kysaiah Pickett should also be in the frame, with the exciting forward to return to Victoria on Sunday after being allowed to travel to Perth for personal reasons due to a family bereavement. Jake Melksham is another that has his eyes set on a round one return, having dealt with a hamstring complaint. Key forward duo Ben Brown (knee) and Sam Weideman (leg) will both miss the opening stages of the season and could still be around two months away in their recoveries. Meanwhile, youngster Aaron Nietschke is set to miss the entire season after cruelly rupturing his ACL for the third time. – Riley Beveridge

    Also on the doubtful/unknown list:

    Joel Smith...hasn't been sighted outside the rehab group

    Hibberd....much the same

    AVB....where is he?

    They had an injury update last week. That said, none of the 3 names George pointed out got a mention. Just to add to the mystery, AVB was listed to play in game B on the Friday but then didn't.

    In between giggling I think I take out of this that Joel to play Monday I think they meant in the practice game at Whitten oval (closed to public) and Hibbard's back in full training but won't play? But that clip could be interpreted a few ways

    Oh and Shhhh! it's a secret! We're not meant to know about Kye training with us.

    Joel Smith has dislocated his finger and is expected to miss 3 weeks, apparently quite a nasty one that broke the skin

    Jesus that sounds horrible. Wishing him a quick recovery. 
    Injuries are starting to mount. If May is not right for round 1 I can’t see us winning. Especially with no fire power up front and probably no Viney or Gus.

    Agree. Joel Smith has spent more weeks injured than active. I thought last year that he might have been traded or delisted. Obviously the coach sees something in him despite his limited games and limited showings to date.

    You would think that brayshaw, melk and  Salem will get another run this weekend and will be good to go round 1. 
     

    May will also be good after almost 2 weeks off... 

    this will only leave viney, brown and weid as major puts for round 1... 

    not a terrible result. Let’s hope the interrupted pre season doesn’t cause major issues

    Can someone please inform me of when Joel Smith did his finger? Was he playing last Monday and dislocated it, or did he do it at some other training session? Not sure where or when I read it, but i think they said he would be out for three weeks. If he did it last Monday, then I think "test" would be the wrong description for him in the above table.

    You sure about that.. Gus and Gawny said he was due to play the VFL game against the doggies. It actually sounded like he did it in the doggies game.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It's Game Day and the Demons have another opportunity to spoil another team's finals aspirations as they take on the Hawks at the MCG. What do you want to see from the boys today?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.
