    No, but I don't think there is a sinister plot behind them changing.  Can you think of any reason beyond the natural uncertainties in injuries and recovery setbacks with maybe a soupcon of wishful thinking to keep spirits up?  And maybe sometimes trying to keep future opponents guessing.

    Medics give their best estimate each week. Sometimes setbacks, sometimes quicker than expected recovery. Not all injuries have a linear recovery period like a standard hammy strain.

    From reading them over the years it appears to me that keeping the spirits up is the number one item. They really don't know most of the time so 3-4 gets trotted out ( keeps the fans happy ) when we all know it is probably 426. And when you see 426 stay that way for a few weeks you know it was 10-12 in the first place. If Brown plays before July I will amazed.

    In two weeks that will change to 426 and we will know he is out for the rest of the season.

    pardon my skepticism but I'm not buying that Brayshaw is ok. Either the reporter is making his own call here or he has asked a club official at training that they've just said "she'll be right". Given the recent history Gus will need to get a scan before being cleared as ok not just a quick looksee in the rooms by the medicos. I would watch this space and take lots of grains of salt.

    We only now found out that Harmes had surgery via the press and have still not had anything official from the club.

    Once again poor communication to members in regards to injuries.

    They will play him vs the Saints and his foot will fall apart.

    Do you think he will be ready come finals time? It would be good to have both he and Weid ready by then.

    How crap is the MFC website!? Burgo gives the injury report, quite obviously wasn’t going to talk about Harmes until word got out and then they inserted a section which talks about him. Typical of the website – keep the supporters completely in the dark if they possibly can.

  • Quote

    Can someone remind me the player who started the whole 426 thing?

    I know we had a guy that had return from injury as "4 to 6 weeks" almost permanently, but can't remember who it was.

    I doubt Brown will play many games for us.  Hope I am wrong but have zero faith in his knee.

    Nick Smith, had to feel for this guy just couldn't get a run at it.  Luke Molan, Aaron Rodgers, Mitch Clarke, Chris Dawes, Jesse Hogan really every key forward we have drafted/traded in since 2001 falls into the 426 category,

    Maybe they want to keep the Saints guessing for as long as possible. Not the end of the world is it?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
