Mitch Brown

[Gaz_Brownlow]

Whats the latest here? He is not on injury list anymore....couldn't see him in the VFL lineup? Is he ready to go yet...

According to the injury list published on the Herald Sun site, Mitch is 1-2 weeks away. Hopefully this is the case. Then the club will have to swap James Podsiadly for someone else on the long term injury list - I suppose against Steven Motlop.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

I think he's 2 weeks away.

Definitely no further setbacks which is good.

He will return and Pods will be swapped for Motlop so he can keep playing seniors.

o r Drum, how long is he out for?

 

[AM]

He can play. I just hope he's not one of those players who never realises his potential because he's dogged by injuries.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

o r Drum, how long is he out for?

At least another month with the detached retina he was diagnosed with.

But Motlop's is a 12 week and they won't rush him with his history so that's why he's on the LTI.

He must have shown something to make Wells like him. The question is ... what has the injury done to him. Lets hope it has allowed him to get a bit of size on him and he lost nothing.

The lad is such an enigma. Its one thing he is a first rounder for us, but he was already a complete smokey because of his late growth spurt. We just don't know what we have until he strings half a dozen games together.

 

[BlueOyster]

bomber is a big fan of his. mentioned to a friend who spoke to him that he has the goods and they hope for him to slot into the forward line when moooney goes, might be a little off that though. but he is rated highly insode the club

I really know nothing about this bloke. How many games has he played in the VFL? Did he even get on the field? Wondering about any impressions folks might have if they've seen him play.

I went down to watch the curtain raiser for the Rd 2 game last year (vs Richmond, Ottens injury), which was either VFL round 1 or their last praccy game. Took my seat on the flank, looked up and saw Mitch Brown charging out on a lead, collecting the ball, wheeling around ala Cameron Mooney and getting hit in a somewhat innocuous clash. He didn't get up. Of the 4 seconds I saw, he looked sensational.

He broke his his leg in the opening VFL game last year,so 1.

 

[AM]

Didn't he kick 7 goals from CHF in a VFL praccy before he broke his leg?

 

[hamG]

I think it was 4

 

[David the Cat]

I think it was 4

Geez Ham....7 sounds better. dont let facts get in the way of a good story ... wasn't it 8?

 

[geelong_crazy26]

where is he currently at with his injury?

 

[sarah.13]

Like he has been for the last 3 weeks....2 weeks away...lol

Could mean anything from "two weeks away" to "clinically dead".

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Could mean anything from "two weeks away" to "clinically dead".

I'm hoping he'll be ready to go for the curtain raiser next week, that way I can see him first hand.

But that might be optimistic.

 

[The rabbi]

Very funny.


....but not too far off the truth as far as Geelong is concerned.

 

[bring back polly]

he is not listed on the injury list in today's Herald Sun injury list. maybe he is ready to run onto the playing field & bag a quick half-dozen sitting at CHF this weekend ?
if so it would mean The Pod will use Motlop to stay on the seniors list i suppose ....

 

[Rustin' Man]

He's listed as one week away in the AFL site's latest injury list.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Mitch Brown will play VFL this week so long as he gets through this week's training, according to Balme, so I look forward to seeing him in the curtain raiser.

Awesome. Wouldn't expect much from him over the next two years though, as broken legs typically take longer to recover from than knee reco's. It took Kelly a few years to even start looking like the player he was set to become before his leg break.

The most important thing is for him to be fully recovered by the end of the year so he can start squatting and deadlifting over summer to put on some serious pounds.

 

[AM]

Fantastic news. I'm really looking forward to seeing what he's capable of. It would be a tragedy if continuing injury issues robbed us of that. Go Mitch!
