is lightning-quick, an endurance machine and a clean user of the footy who’s best used on a wing or at half-back. The Northern Knights product was called up for his AFL debut against Melbourne at the SCG in Round 4, 2019, and although he wouldn’t feature at the top level again in his first year at the club, he was a stand-out in the NEAFL. McInerney is eyeing more opportunities at senior level in 2020.

[The King!]

Is he on a waiting list or something ?

 

[Orange crush]

Is he on a waiting list or something ?

Apparently waiting for swelling to subside so scans tomorrow … according to afl.com.au

 

[Punts]

Surely I’d was acl we would know by now?

The club would have a very good idea what it is. I wouldn't be shocked if he went in on Sunday

Where y'all getting this info?

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Maybe we use the same doctors as we use our legal counsel

100% PCL looking at the mechanism. You don't do an ACL falling on your knee

Yep will depend on the grade lower end it’s no big deal it’s 5 weeks before the first final

If he's still got bad swelling then might be higher end if not a full tear

**** me

Swelling actually doesn't usually determine a lot on knee injuries, can be purely from the impact when the knee hit the ground.

I did a grade to strain to my PCL and it didn't swell at all (affected me for nearly 6 months after I continued training with it).

I did a grade one strain to my LCL in opposite leg, thing went up like a balloon but I was fully operational about 5 weeks later and able to walk on it the next day.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Bonus if we see him again this season imo

 

[J_Moore]

8 weeks

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

8 weeks

Touch and go for first final with the bye if thats the case

 

[J_Moore]

No, I have no idea how long the injury lay-off will be.

I’m just saying - it’s not 5 weeks til finals; it’s 8.

My brother did.

I did a full pcl and was back playing at around the 8 week mark due to finals. In hindsight I shouldn’t have.
Hardest bit is establishing confidence in it again. It feels unstable, you shit yourself jumping and landing and the thought of someone giving you a Hannebery 2016 grand final is terrifying.

 

[bedford]

So many sports medicos on here !

 

[The Mares Leg]

I’ve only done 3 ACLs in my life…so I look to Goodsey for estimated lay off times for PCLs.

only 3?

 

[Wolfgang West]

only 3?

Middle leg doesn’t count.

Every time this thread gets bumped, I rush here to see if there's news.

"At least a couple of weeks. How much beyond that we're not sure" - Horse today.

Said he'll be in a brace for a few weeks, won't know much more til then.

Unacceptable from Dr Horse.

Of course they'll have scan results to determine the extent of the damage.

"We won't know much more til then"?

C'mon .....
