Yep just like every other year, wrecked through injury. 

Reminds me of recruiting Kelvin Templeton, perhaps the most potent full forward imaginable. It was not a good season and / or outcome.

    As with Hawthorn taking Scully & Patton from GWS on seemingly favourable deals, the eagerness of NM to be done with Brown should have been a warning sign for Melbourne.

    But yet again we were so desperate to add talent from other clubs, instead of developing our own, that we rushed in to sign Brown with $3M worth of contract. 

    Thankfully we had talked McDonald's value down so far that there were no takers, otherwise we would be looking at starting another season with Weideman as our only true key position forward.

    Are you suggesting we shouldn't have taken Bernie Vince or Jordan Lewis?

    I can't believe people on here believe people shouldn't be training with strapping....

    Almost every player in the competition has some sort of strapping, the majority would be ankle related.

    Judd played with shoulder strapping his whole career, didn't seem to slow him down.

    Kicks 6 in a quarter in a practice hit out.

    In full training, not in rehab - for the whole preseason so far

    Swelling detected in knee

    No rushed for scans, but scheduled 48 hours later (Perhaps when acute phase of swelling has concluded)

    The sky is not falling, in my humble view.

    Suggest this is to make decisions regarding load and management rather than ‘season ending’.

    I can guarantee it’s the same people whinging about the end of our year due to Brown being are injured are the same people who whinged about recruiting him in the 1st place,

    This one is less of a concern than the Viney foot injury. Brown has been very durable and only suffered knee problems for the first time last year. He’s played all matches in a season 5 times out of 7 since debut.

    Viney has missed tons of matches through ongoing foot injury. He’s only played a full season once out of 8 due to injury!

    Browns injury sounds like a bit of swelling while adjusting to full load again after a layoff. Not panic stations yet. Vineys is a big concern and hopefully he doesn’t miss more matches to that foot problem.

    The thing with Vin is it was just a small Plantar fasciitis release, something you can snap and not get fixed so im not too worried about it, hopefully.

    You are not fitting with the narrative that the club is cursed and BBB will never play a game for the MFC. I do totally agree with you though.

    Let's just wait and see,  hopefully it might be a better outcome than we expected Ds 56. Have to think positive,

    These things never end well, remember how Andrew Mcleod, Shaun Burgoyne and Joel Selwood all struggled after being diagnosed with degenerative knee issues.

    They just couldn't get the management right and their careers ended prematurely.

    hopefully the club stops coughing up first round picks but I'm not as negative as others. It just means that Tom McDonald must get back to 2018 form.  If he does, we will do well, if not... it's another 9-12 season with no improvement. unless we sack Goodwin early.

    It’s obviously not great that his troublesome knee has flared up after ramping up training but this is common with players coming back from any sort of long term injury. We’ve recruited him for a few years not just round 1 2021. The hysteria on here is amazing. I’m dec thankful that we kept T-Mac. This is his chance prove everyone wrong.

    But did he really? I've only seen a transcript of Max Gawn's comments and it seemed like a flippant, throw-away line designed to deflect more than anything else. Has it been stated by anyone else that he genuinely kicked 6 in a quarter? And even if he did, so what? He could have been playing on no-one or being deliberately the only forward that the ball was being delivered to.

    In a video just released with Tom McDonald he slipped at one stage that Brown possibly out for a month

    he said IF ben brown is injured for the next month or so, it will change where he's training as a wing or as a forward

    For those interested, in the Talking Points video, Tom McDonald referred to BB as 'potentially out for a month or so'.

    Haha...bit late to the party.

    Gawn was just interviewed on 3AW and he didn’t think the Brown injury was anything serious.

    Also said Viney should play one of the pre season games.

    I wouldn’t get too excited as Gawn strikes as me as a half glass full guy.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
