Horrible news

 

[Diehard Saint]

These types of situations can also be the making of them. Giving them resilience and so-on. Think that’s far more like to be the case than it being a career-killer.

Thankfully he is still pretty young. I reckon Max will have some tips for him on how to handle the disappointment.
He’s resilient, he’ll bounce back. Many years left in his career hopefully.

What a bummer!

 

[phantom13]

Listen... If we can limit it to one serious injury/absence this year ill be thrilled.

Gutted for Coff though, seems such a good kid and a future leader.

 

[RWB4life]

So long term injury list and sign another player in the spp?

An ACL isn't what it used to be. It's still a long recovery time, but the recovery outcomes seem to be getting better all the time and it's certainly not the career killer it once was.

Still, gut wrenching news for Coffield.

 

[netslave]

Hoping for a quick recovery for Nick if it's a confirmed ACL, hate to see it, even for opposition players.

 

[Hubnester]

Devastating news, just bloody horrible.
Not the end of the world for us or for Coff but just flattening. Hopefully he does as other have by recovering well and coming back fit and hungry.

Let's hope that's all the bad news we get.

Patty Naish come on down?

 

[gringo2011]

Can’t see them doing that to someone so young

It seems to have gone out of fashion these days.

Fffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuucccccckkkkk youuuuu Footy Gods!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You mother ****errrrrrrrs!!!!!

It seems to have gone out of fashion these days.

I'm not sure it was ever really done unless for a specific reason.
For example if it was 2009 and Nick Riewoldt, you might consider it.

Its just not that urgent for Coffield to undertake the extra risk and the worse long term result.

Thanks BT. From the disappointment at least we heard about Jack Hayes and Brad Hill.
As many have said if we were going to.lose someone his position has a deal of depth.

One positive is that they said Hill was very good in the match sim

had a few Lars operations that didn't last. No sportsmen do that at all anymore as far as I know. It was a short lived fad operation. Even older players (Joe Ingles, kahwi Leonard for basketball examples go for traditional)

Pato - Broken leg (season over before it began)
Gresh - Torn Achilles (misses 21 games )
Coff - ACL (season over before it begins)

Not to mention the bad run of concussions for Paddy and the horrific broken jaw last year of Clarks that forced him to miss half the year.

Seriously, do we have the worst luck of any club when it comes to serious injuries to our best young players?

 

[moirae42]

Well shit.

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

Really shitty luck.

Did one of the Menzels have it quite young too?

 

[AirWinmar]

Spewing for Coff, really thought he was going up a notch this year. Hope he recovers well and quick

“Awesome, really special” in fact! Suspect he’s going to blitz it this year.

 

[aussierulesrules]

According to Gabelich, Ratts was “emphatic” a couple of days ago in an interview that Coff was the one to look out for who was going to have a breakout year this year and had been “sensational” on the track over the preseason.

So while it sucks that it won’t happen this year, at least we’ve hopefully got something special to look forward to going forward.

I won’t be at all surprised if he makes an AA team or two. In fact I’ve long thought it will be a disappointing result if he doesn’t.
