Better a minor arthroscope op now. Than a more serious or even same op running into the second half of the season.

Sounds as if it is minor, if it was a major or really serious situation it would have shown up previously or when he is on crutches,

Arthroscopes can fix minor problems, at the same time as looking, a gentle snip here, another there, and soon, no cartilage no problem.

 

This is not the 1960's and he is not John Townsend.  Wait for the orthopaedic surgeons report. 

 

Go Dees

    I think we will be ok.  Weideman and Luke Jackson looked great together last season before LJ's injury.

    Wow that was quick !

    Better get him onto the LT injury list and promote somebody next to useless so we all feel better

    Well unfortunately the knee is now an ongoing issue for him and it isn't going to get better.

    Surgery, recovery, recuperation, getting back to training, building up match fitness, then trying to find form.  He'll be useless for the first half of the season.

    Why can't it get better? Why is he different to the multitude of AFL players who have had a history of knee issues that get on the park every week?

    Stevie J had knee surgery on March 26 in 2013, literally in the middle of the first round in the split fixture days.

    He played in round 3.

    If they have Brown not running for 4 weeks then that’s more conservative and probably a little more going on but it doesn’t have to be curtains for the year

    Your qualifications for  that prognosis are?

     

    Um, none

    Lever had swelling in his knee on his way back from his ACL. He got back on the park ok.

    Tracc had a knee cleaned out after 2018 - He's gone ok since...

    Take a breath people!

    Worked pretty well in 2018

    He only played on the wing for about the first 3/5 mins of a quarter and sometimes not every quarter.

    Its just to get him mobile and switched on IMO.

    Sometimes arthroscopes are exploratory and sometimes they are just used to clean out the joint following a previous surgery.

    And sometimes they are used to perform relatively minor procedures; for example, my son had his meniscus repaired via an arthroscopy.

    One flare up is an ongoing issue? Alrighty then!  Hopefully your footy predictions are on par with your political predictions ?

    Since most people are not surgeons or have an intimate knowledge of what will be done, we should wait and see what happens and maybe TMcD will be used to fill in for BB unitl he returns to take up the FF position.

    Sometimes karma is your enemy other times it is your friend, just imagine if TMcD had left.

    Eh.... I'm not too bothered. Imagine if we hadn't recruited Brown and it was Weid who was injured: We'd be going into another season with a dodgy forward line that'd just got dodgier. Now it ups the ante on the others to shine so they keep their place once the Brownster is back and fighting fit and pluggin' 'em....

    Don’t stress when he comes back say round 5ish we will have a new coach (Williams) cause we will be 0 and 5 to start the season and together Williams and Brown will lead our resurgence up the ladder. 
     

    No need to worry.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
