    At the bottom of the HS report on Daw, this was also added -

    “Brown is expected to miss several months after knee surgery” 

    several months?!? ... so much for back running in 4 weeks as mentioned by Richo.

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

    The injury is about 1/2 weeks old and 6/7 weeks will make it about early April and 8 weeks as in the HS article on Majak Daw.

    It was advised  running is expected to commence about halfway through.Ie 4 weeks.When BB was injured and operated on.

    Where does it say anywhere or refer to any  alteration of running commencement or any extra surgery ?

    BUT somehow 2 D/L ers are all in a tizz about his expected 8 weeks out.with  2 drama queen negative comments and ideas that there are changes with BB's injury schedule. I refer to Bris De and Dcutter!. 

    We are always upset by injuries but it does not help with wild off the cuff posts   Which are not even mentioned and lead to further negativity for others to Have to Read.

    If there is any change the Club would be all over it and the HS accordingly informed as would our website!!

    What a complete overreaction, wild and off the cuff? Settle down drama Queen as you so politely put it ....

    Let's await any Club  info and not overreact to a one line report as an add on to another news item in the news media.

    Richo this morning: "‘Browny’ with a 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."

    Standard Melbourne FC. There’s a reason MFCSS exists, and it’s entirely warranted unfortunately.

    Surely that 4 weeks was when he started running again, not playing at his optimal level. 
    so not much changed

    That's what I understood.  No way to stop the doomsayers from doomsaying.

    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.

    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?

    Ben’s availability for selection will be determined on how well he responds to the rehab program. We are very confident though that we can build Ben back to full fitness and we will see him in action during the early rounds of the season. 

    “We anticipate Ben will be in a position to commence running four weeks following surgery.“

    ——————————

    A general rule is ready to play after the same time training as off legs. Which is another month, so early April which is the early rounds of the season. Rounds 2-3 might’ve become 4-5 but that’s still in line with the reported timeline.

    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?

    In answer to your question: Nothing. 

    Feb 4 plus weeks is Feb 18, not today (sorry to quibble over 1/2 a week).  But I think that pushes your range to "round 2 unlikely, but 3 a possibility". Round 3 is not much different to round 4.  And you have him regaining match fitness etc faster than most would assume.  So 4 -6 was always on the cards.

    Nothing changed dc but you well know the second language kicked in early on.

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

    They could probably rush him to round 2 with no match practice but he probably won't be able to run out the game very well, which probably hurts the side even more than if he missed the game - particular if we cop an injury or 2 during the game.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
