Jacobs is done. I'm not too upset because he never really added much.

 

[astrovic]

Cannot take a break. Well, he can actually.

Please please please don't come back until 100%, even if that means 2018.

I don't think he can make it back into the side anyway.

Casting aside the " I'm not too upset" which when you consider it from BJ's position....

Anyway he probably is done unfortunately for him and his career and earnings etc.

 

[The Nostradamus]

I'm a big Jacobs fan, gets the job done.

Hopefully gets back to 100% soon.
Easily best 22 for me when fully fit

Fair to say probably added more to the NMFC than you have in your career champ.

He destroyed some of the best mids in the game.

He added plenty.

 

[Arden]

He destroyed some of the best mids in the game.

He added plenty.

One of our most instrumental players in a year that we came close to a GF.

[Tas]

6-8 is the new 2 weeks.

Bad news for Ben.

Ben Jacobs, Mason Wood and Taylor garner walk into a Bar................................

This.

This.

One of our most instrumental players in a year that we came close to a GF.

And This.

I've maintained for the last 12 months that he's comfortably best 22 when fit. He was in our best handful of players in the second half of 2015 and performed well in all 3 finals.

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

I'd kill to see one of our dudes get a 2 week ankle sprain.

 

[Nate7]

Quite a long time off for a 5th met. Is he an extreme pronator? Was the region previously displaced or fractured?

Fractured I am 99% sure.

 

[Nate7]

Fractured I am 99% sure.

For a 5th met, that's very strange (that long a lay off) hence my line of questioning.

 

[sketcher]

Depends which part of the 5th met he fractured - the wrong spot can have high rates of non-union due to poor blood supply. Others can heal up relatively quickly. Obviously Ben's been unlucky. But given he's had so much trouble with it (I think this might be his third setback?), I'd be astonished if he got back within 8 weeks. Such a shame, in my eyes he's most definitely one of our most important players when up and running.

Big Roo running out of time to prove fitness

INJURED North Melbourne forward Ben Brown is running out of time to prove his fitness for round one, conceding his chances of playing in the JLT Community Series are "up in the air".

Brown is yet to line-up in the pre-season competition as he continues to recover from the knee surgery he had in January. Meanwhile, fellow talls Majak Daw, Todd Goldstein and Braydon Preuss played in the Roos' impressive win over the Hawks, with the latter bagging three goals.

North also has to find room for veteran forward Jarrad Waite who played in the club's first hit-out against the Swans.

Brown went under the knife for what was described by the club as a "wash-out procedure" but the 24-year-old may not be fit for the pre-season clash against Greater Western Sydney on Friday, March 10.

"[The GWS game is] a bit up in the air at the moment," Brown told Fox Sports on Monday.

"The doctors are still working through whether I can get up for that game but I'm aiming for it and I'm doing as much as I can in my rehab work.

"My running's going really well and the main thing for me is my body's feeling really good, so when I do get up to play, I should feel 100 per cent ready to go."

The Kangaroos are set to be without forward Mason Wood (hamstring) and tagger Ben Jacobs (foot) for up to eight weeks, after both were hurt at training last Friday.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Quick running out of Bens to play rd 1.

 

[Grogg]

Fractured I am 99% sure.

Yep.

Pretty sure a surgeon was consulted, then for whatever reason decided on a different approach.

Actually I'd say that mail is reasonably solid given it was directly from an ortho surgeon who I was working for at the time.

 

[DrZaius]

If there is any doubt just keep Benny Brown out of the GWS game. Can't risk him.

 

[the big lebowski]

Hopefully Brown gets enough time to recover and isn't playing until he's 100%.

No unfit or half fit players in 2017.

 

[boneofshin]

One day Ben will have an uninterrupted pre-season. One day.
