He's trained all season with a mountain of tape. I'd have a pretty simple rule, if you want to train you can't be taped up. Come back when you've fixed it.

Anyway, as a Brown skeptic I'm sad for him but hopeful the Weid gets his chance alongside Jackson and either Fritsch or possibly a ruck/wing/forward McDonald. 

The 3 big talls up forward was never going to work.

    At any given point, this will exclude more than half the list.

    “Following scans on Monday afternoon, it has been decided that we will get the opinion of knee specialist Julian Feller to determine the best course of action,” General Manager of AFL Football Performance Alan Richardson told Melbourne Media.

    “The club will be in a position to provide further information following Ben’s consultation on Wednesday.”

    As long as it isn’t a new injury, i am not concerned yet. 
     

    Sir, i knew nothing about his previous knee concerns, what makes you think it is ok if it is the injury from last season?

    I have it from a current AFL coach that recruiting Brown was a mistake, and that given current trends in tactic, we'd be better off without him. 

    And, no, I'm not going to reveal the sauce. I've already rounded it down to 18 people out of 25 million.

    I like this combination...I think it worked well in the few games they played together last year.

    Not a big sample size admittedly but good non the less.

    The concern is that the injury is from a significant impact (tackle from Blicavs) and whatever surgery they performed hasn't seemed to have had much benefit.

    I would hazard a guess and say it's not bursitis so the knee just can't be structurally right in my opinion which means this could be a long recovery period.

    I'm guessing it wasn't Goodwin so maybe we can narrow it down to 17...

    18? Was it Simon Goodwin?

    Pickett, Oliver, Smith, Langdon, Salem all need a rest then.

    So nothing to do with his knee then?

    I’m at panic stations already because of my MFCSS issues let alone the Clarke debacle all of those years ago thrown in on top.
    To be fair people did question the trade for a bloke with a knee injury but most (inc me) thought it was fine if we did the trade. ie we did our due diligence. 
    Fingers crossed for the further review, without him we’re a little fkd.

    Kicking those 6 goals has given him a repetitive strain injury.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
