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.

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 .....

I posted the full press conference in the media thread DQ. He goes into it a bit more there and says McInerney won't need surgery and it'll be just a brace for a few weeks, but that PCL injuries can be unpredictable so he can't say anything definitively until they get to that point and assess how it's going. Genuinely seemed like the club is in the dark for now but just hoping for the best.

I interpret it as: Good news for now, with the potential for it to be bad news, so don't get ahead of ourselves.

Thanks - just watched the presser.

I'm pretty sure they'd know a bit more than Horse is letting on .... with modern medical science I can't believe they're in the dark about it. But I do concede the point about unpredictability is fair enough.

I loved Horse's comment at the end about the AFL's (unreasonable) need to apportion blame every time an incident occurs involving concussion.

 

[Donza]

Good news.

Doc Larkin reckoned it could be amputated.

Yeah that was a ripper of a point at the end of the presser. Have said it before - suspending players for accidents will not prevent them from occurring again.

 

[Kbroome]

Well its anywhere from a couple weeks to a couple months, but atleast its not officially season over that it would have been with surgery

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Club would already have a fair idea if he is gonna feature again 2024 no need to make that public as of now

 

[Punts]

Good news

 

[zyzzbruh]

So it's essetially an extended break for Jmac until finals - then straight back into it. 8 weeks rest should be plenty

 

[Kbroome]

Yep but surgery is season over given that he would be in crutches until September

 

[zyzzbruh]

From Horse's response he's clearly been told minimum two weeks to recover, and then beyond that is according to how he feels - this suggests a grade 1 sprain.

 

[Tedeski]

Harry & Heeney back is good!

 

[giantsully]

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

Is your avatar the bloke who put you down after you broke the mare's leg for the third time?

That diagnosis for JMac is really the glass half something of prognoses.

 

[The Mares Leg]

Good news.

Doc Larkin reckoned it could be amputated.

Larkin diagnosed my achilles tunnel irritation as a bone spur - complete dimwit.

WTF are you on about?

R u saying Goodes recovery period when he strained his PCL in his CHB days isn’t a good indicator?

 

[The Mares Leg]

And yes, he did his PCL twice if I recall correctly.

Too subtle I guess. I meant the dude with the gun in your photo looking an awful lot like Steve MacQueen. I just wondered if he was there coz he was required to put you down after your third ACL.

I have nothing to add to the ACL/PCL recovery debate, other than I'm delighted for JM it's not an ACL, and I hope a PCL gives him a fighting chance to be sighted again in 2024.

 

[Adnico26Parker]

Nothing new in the update:

Justin sustained a posterior cruciate ligament injury on Saturday against North Melbourne. He will go into a brace for at least two weeks before his progress is reassessed.

Yes you’re right its McQuuenin his first acting job as a bounty hunter.

A ‘Mares Leg’ is a sawn off, cut down Winchester repeating (Lever action) rifle, it was the ‘gimmick’ on the show - looks cool but highly impractical in most scenarios, being neither accurate or easily stowed - a bit like me really.

And yes…After the 3rd which re-did the 2nd my ortho did threaten to put me down - but here I am.

Causes - Footy, (Footy/Netball), Ladder

 

[McGowan3]

Good news.

Larkin is a joke. Has got it wrong more times than I can remember.

 

[liz]

My understanding was that Goodes ruptured his PCL, not merely strained it. Both times.

 

[The Mares Leg]

Thanks Liz.

I just associate his 1st with 6 weeks, but it could have been another player.

Its not a common injury, it requires the shin to be pushed backwards from the knee capsule - which is why it usually effects ruckmen.

I don't think Goodes missed any time, did he? The second one was during the final game of the season, so I guess "weeks missed" wasn't relevant.

Certainly off season the 2nd time - I recollect him playing with a bandage after the 1st.

Celebratory Doctor like we have celeb chef w***ers

 

[Bonz]

My understanding was that Goodes ruptured his PCL, not merely strained it. Both times.

I thought he strained in 04, but did a full rupture in 12.

I still cannot understand how he played 12 with no PCL, mental effort.

(For those who don't know, a strain is still classified as a tear)
