Think we should look at the boots.
All these knees and we're not halfway yet.

As an outsider looking in, what a tragedy. I hope that he can make a full and speedy recovery. A genuine star in the making. The game cannot afford to lose these new talents
Absolute rubbish. He's been playing Aussie rules for a decade and first played VFL 8 years ago.
ACLs are just plain bad luck 99% of the time.

Terrible news, he’s been fantastic, improved every week. I was looking forward to seeing him alongside Lynch
That’s 4 ACLs we’ll carry into next year! How does that work from a list management perspective.

Surely has to be the record already
He was a rugby player who played a bit of football at St.Kida on the peanut farm from memory. He kicked 25 gaols once because he could just run through players due to his size and athleticism. Played VFL but was not a marking forward, general player who also played midfield occasionally, certainly not a marking target. That takes practice, usually years of it.
To say he is a bit out of his league in the position he is playing is common sense.
If ACL's are such accidents, how can a club have 5 in one year, Brisbane 4, other clubs also, when they were relatively rare years ago.
3 players incl kelti had priors, the probability of doing an ACL again is quite high, thems are facts

Shattered for him..
He turns 26 in a few weeks, he'll be 27 before he plays for us again most likely because he'll need some VFL time youd think....
Farrrrrk this injury was to his good knee , had previously done the left
Gutted for the guy was one of the few shinning lights this season.
I have to say, you are not alone.
Whenever he flew I always had my heart in my mouth. That he was either going to hurt someone else or himself. That he was half going for the mark and half using his body as human battering ram. In a perfect world he would been concentrating on what he is brilliant at, marking on the lead and kicking goals and providing scary physical pressure, especially as a rookie AFL player.
Anyhow, maybe it's because of the way he is built and the fact that he is from a rugby background that I was deluding myself into thinking that, but it's still how I kind of felt as well.
They were never relatively rare. Back in the day careers would by ended by an ACL tear. In the past decade each club has averaged about 1 per season, give or take. More games, more players is obviously going to = more injuries. We've just been stiff. As have Lions.
Thought same thing , way he played was to use his body as a battering ram , whether tackling or contesting every single pack that he had the remotest chance of taking a mark , sadly was prob a matter of time . I genuinely worry of the longevity of these big 100kg power forwards
Reckon we went a few years without one
yep. this lost any scope of credibility when you mentioned Lenny Hayes. he an absolute warrior. holds no standing when talking about thw average acl.. also curious...have you done one? if you haven't then you have no idea....
