Another beat up.
Wasn't there a thread posted around here saying that Max has having the arthroscope as nothing more than routine? I though he would be back around August anyway.

cheers Bradway, from all reports it was the same with his other knee...a final clean-up before increasng the intensity of his training in preparation for a return to the footy field...Go Big Max 
Just out of interest, what do they mean when they say "clean up".
Whenever I think of invasive surgery, I always assume you are making the area immediately surrounding the cut weaker...but I have no medical background of any form.
Perhaps with keyhole surgery, this isn't the case anyway.
But back to the original query, what exactly is "cleaned up"? Cartlidge? Fluid? Other?

No, I’m just disappointed
It was an arthroscope for a clean up; apparently routine after a reconstruction.
It is "keyhole" surgery and usually cleans up debris with the joint space.
Nothing new here, guys. John Ralph trailling the good burghers of BF in the knowledge stakes yet again.

Yeah, pretty sure "go hawks" cleared this one up for us in the injury thread a week or two ago.
Being a country boy, I used to hang off every word in the HUN, until that is,
i found you guys on bigfooty. Those love hearts are a bit gay, but what the hell.

No, kingkyle, there is a timeline in place as reported.
And your post was in the light of that information inaccurate and hence deleted.

Galon has officially won the 'avatar' award....wait a minute, i forgot about Goldhawk.

Get him ready for 2011. Absolutely nothing to be gained by playing him in a handful of games in 2010. If he doesn't play this year he gets another 6 months strengthening into his toothpick legs before he starts playing games. We have come this far with him, lets give him every opportunity to have a long career rather than test him in a handful of games this year.
Just thought i comment on the little fat kid smoke addict you have as your avatar Galon. That little baby can make any parent proud..

When they do this they might be removing little bits of floating cartilage, or they can use little forceps with a basket at the end and nibble off bits of cartilage, then shave the area, with the aim being to leave the internal joint surface nice and smooth.
Many people have this done - arthritis and stuff.

Astounding stuff, eh. Great parental control at play.Just thought i comment on the little fat kid smoke addict you have as your avatar Galon. That little baby can make any parent proud..
Gotta be Collingwood supporters...
Our version of Collingwoods Lee Walker!
I feel sorry for Max, but are the club seriously going to give him another contract? He has hardly taken the field in the years he has been at the club and must be keeping the medico's and rehab staff very busy!
Surely there is a decent ruckman in his early 20's in the WAFL, SANFL or VFL we could give an opportunity instead???
If he is 2, I am 21!!!!Just thought i comment on the little fat kid smoke addict you have as your avatar Galon. That little baby can make any parent proud..

Why would we bother playing him this year then?
Surely it would make more sense to give him the extra six months to build greater strength and stability in the knee?

I wouldn't play him at any level this year, the clean-up is normal procedure, these days its usually key-hole surgery, in and out of hospital the same day.
If he is fit, he should play. However it seems he wont be AFL fit so Box Hill it should be.
Lets hope Taylor gets fit. You want three fit ruckman in case one gets injured or one gets sick
Renouf/Skipper are toiling well, just need them to not suffer injuries.

Max must play forward for the remainder of his time this year. No rucking. Just take grabs and kick goals.
