The Weapon told me the best way to overcome a knee injury is More Deadlifts.

Yep. Strong hammies are the knees best friend.

 

[nelroo]

Ouch..in that footage, do we see him do his knee after taking that strong mark?

No. The full clip is featured on another highlight video (maybe this one http://www.afl.com.au/video/2014-09-13/paul-ahern-highlights?) and it shows him getting straight back up and getting a kick off.

I have to admit that was my first thought as well, as it looks pretty bad.

 

[Ekomaira]

an absolute steal! well done boys

69? Great fun, terrible view.

Zondor says like

 

[Jesslc]

In the last 5 years, players selected at pick 69 have never debuted in their opening season. 2 of those years, the pick was simply passed on....

That's very true. Just gotta work those quads equally as hard to offset the repaired ligaments and keep equilibrium with the hammies

Wowee, a player who doesnt shit his pants through traffic

 

[Daniltchenko You Beauty]

An absolute Jack Steele.

Elite talent, exactly what we need. Hopefully it's just the start. More top ten picks!

(Not a name you hear that often these days - waiting for Marstermind ...)

Trying to cast my mind back. Our first Paul since Bryce?

 

[Roozee]

Although at face value it seems odd to trade in a player straight onto the LTI this has sneaky success written all over it. #69 for ex#7 = no damage done.

Welcome "Home" Paul and wish you all the best and look forward to the day you debut for the mighty NMFC.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Welcome Paul!

The club will look after you, best of luck with the move down south.

Everything looks better in Blue and White.

 

[Moti]

It would be 7 months of rehab by the time Round 1 rolls along. Here is hoping we get him back in the back third of the year, get the mental side sorted so his 2017 pre-season will be huge!

 

[KiwiRoo]

Im no doctor..so could someone with some medical knowledge tell us what the chances are of a player returning after 2 ACL's and playing top level football ?

Not knocking what we've done, just curious

Good news for Will Fordham.

Yes, opportunity knocks.

Patton for one.

Can't wait to hear Ahern to Wood being called for the next ten years.

And in vomit and black of Werribee that where he will play %90 of his football in 2018 if we get to see him at all unless a change of coach may push up to start early 2018

Go easy on the Bees mate. Love the Bees and where would Brown and Maj be without them.

 

[Aberration]

Welcome Paul!
Love this pickup, low risk for huge reward.

Paul played with EVW and Dan Nielson in a pretty successful Vic Metro team in 2014. Hopefully those boys take him under their wing and help him through the transition into a new club.

Really looking forward to seeing his development because I reckon talent wise, the sky is the limit for this kid.

 

[DCS OO7]

Good get by us,one thing I'd like to happen is him not playing 4 or 5 games at the end of next year.give him another pre season and be over cautious with him as he's top end talent and if we look after him hopefully we will get the reward.

I agree.

It's also pointless playing him for a few games if were not in a serious position to win the flag or even make the 8

 

[BLERN]

Congrats. Very clever trading. Very little to lose in a worst case, a hell of a lot to gain potentially.
