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.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
