My wife did hers while playing sport. Fairly sure it is due to the size of the hips stretching the ligaments further than the boys.

AFL isn't a sport.

5-day breaks don't help they should not exist in Professional AFL, it's a 360 game with twist & turns and they run 15km a game and take knocks and bruises.

You need 5-day breaks if you're gonna have Thursday night games. Otherwise the TV rights won't be as high.
Put that to the players with the subsequent salary changes and I guarantee what their answer will be.

Also, something that never gets mentioned but is really important is when you do an ACL.
It's still 12 months until you're absolutely 100% impact training and play without compromise.
This is by far the worst time of the year to do it. They miss all of 2024, then miss next pre-season (or it is highly compromised. That ruins their 2025 too as players that don't have full pre-seasons are chasing their tails for the whole season to keep up.
If you do it toward the end of the season (say for example Daniel McStay)... you still miss a year but at least you are 100% to start next pre-season and then you'll be flying into Round 1 2025.
For Gibcus, Coleman, Docherty... it's a two year injury in many ways. Destroys the player.

The worst time is July or August as many times you miss the next season. Kills a season and a half. Sicily did his is August 2020 and didn't play again until 2022

Powell-Pepper confirmed ACL.
has to be the worst year ever?
has to be the worst year ever?
Alot of Aboriginal players in the NT historically played barefoot. Not sure how common it is today.
Uh, no? 5 weeks without one, haven't had 2 for the same team in the same quarter yet. Probably nowhere near it.
Still haven't but pretty damn close. Although so many for one club, what, 1/5th or 1/6th of their list is out with ACL injuries? Can it just be luck. Didn't all of these happen at the Gabba? Got to be something with the ground.

Mitch Lewis confirmed ACL, this is getting ridiculous now...
Something has to be done about it, I reckon the grounds are not up to scratch.

Lewis was bad luck. Nothing to do with the ground.

I agree he's one was more freak, knocked out and leg twisted under him, but it still remains there have been a lot of other injuries where I suspect the ground has played factor in it.
Getting elbowed hard in the head is not bad luck but reckless by the opposition player.
The Lions currently have 5 season ending ACL injuries > Kalin Lane, Lincoln McCarthy, Keidean Coleman, Tom Doedee and Darcy Gardiner.
Only just got Will Ashcroft back from an ACL mid 2023 season.
