In breaking news Cameron Bruce has just done his medial Ligament in his knee at training today and will miss a minimum of 4-6 weeks. News is that he is on crutches and will miss the Nab cup. He would be 50/50 chance if he plays the 1st week of the season.

Shocking News :(

Please note that while I don't doubt the story, I have edited the title of the thread in order to prevent our posters from having a heart attack. Cheers :)

There is no source, but by brother and i know bruce personally and we found out the news today.

It should be on the melbourne website in the next day or so

Bugger! But rounds 2 or 3 even is not a disaster?

Ill believe it when it see it from a media source.

Also training on a sunday??

Bruce Almighty would rest on a sunday!

Unless he's done it walking his dog (Wonders would never cease with our past history of injury)

I understand injuries happen, but why do they happen so frequently to us when we aren't even under the pressure of a fully cooked game!

I don't expect / want to read about injuries from training.

Round 1 is 7 weeks away; at least he's got a good tank, can hopefully hit the ground running, if all is true.

Will wait for confirmation as well, however 4-6 weeks is hardly disastrous if true.

Sure it will put him behind the eight-ball in terms of fitness preparation, but a round 2 or 3 or 4 return is hardly going to change the course of our season.

He has always been very fit, so no doubt he'll be able to make up for lost time quickly. Just as long as he didn't injure his kicking knee, because god knows he doesn't need any more reasons to fluff them kicks :P

So if you found out the news today, where did the news come from? Did you speak to him? Mum? Dad? Did you receive an email?, phone call? what?

If you know it happened today, where were they training? Was Dean Bailey there?

Anyone else getting the feeling we will never see Cam at his best again?

Ever since Guarra(??) pile drove him into the car park cement it's been one injury after another.

I don't think so. To me it seems since that day, we've been frightened to put him in the heat of the battle; to our detriment. DB i doubt will be so fragile in his thinking. Bruce has a massive engine, if he's allowed to play in the middle and get his own ball, I'm we will see Bruce at his best on a more consistent basis

It happened today

This is what Westy's Warriors posted yesterday at 12.40pm on bigfooty - http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showthread.php?t=411746

"I actually heard last night that Cam Bruce has hurt a ligament in his knee and will be out of action for up to 6 weeks

Did he mention anything about that?"

It seems to me that if he indeed hurt his knee, it happened on Friday or alternatively Westy's Warriors is a clairvoyant.

Either that or he hasn't hurt his knee.

dworship, what time was the Ballarat Demons function today? Maybe they held training today without the coach and a few of the players. ;)

I can confirm this (take it or leave it, no source will be given). It did NOT happen today. As I understand it, we're looking at 4-6 weeks out (which suggests to me a medial ligament). The main issue I can see is that Cam has already missed a chunk of pre-season due to his wedding/honeymoon, so he's likely to go into the season significantly underdone.

Brucey's obviously been indulging in too much leftover wedding cake; his knees can't support his weight.

Personally, I don't see it as such a bad thing.

That is so unfair of you, exposing my snare and taking my barb. I didn't really expect a reply, I think someone may have missed their bedtime if they posted.

Oh and Kyle Cheney is living with a host family in Brighton and Cam is picking him up for training each day.

sad if true, but just gives another one of our youngsters a chance to prove themselves, maybe Cale Morton ??

Like people said he is very under done because of his interrupted pre-season with his wedding.

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
