Or he's just not ready and there's nothing to read into.
Melksham did his ACL in August and returned in July (11 months), a similar time frame to Ashcroft (July/June). Smith did his in December so 11 months takes him to November.
McStay and Docherty are yet to return to AFL level and might not, and are both outliers in terms of recovery times.
McStay has played the last two weeks.
Right you are. Point still stands, he's an outlier. Not sure why some players come back faster than others, Tony Liberatore somehow did it in 18 weeks back in the day. Most take close to a year.
I think the general feeling is that dogs just want to make sure he’s in good shape to be traded. Be dreadful for all
If he did another ACL this year.
If he did another ACL this year.
It's fairly self explanatory

I think Libba was waking up in the middle of the night to put ice on his knee. He had a really disciplined recovery program which sped up healing.
Agreed.
Smith did his ACL in December and he doesn't seem to want to rush it. Doggies are either keeping him on ice for the year to have him cherry ripe for 2025 or they know he's gone and figured it's not worth the effort.
Obviously all speculation on my part.
Melksham and McStay did theirs in August. Both were really unlucky, anyone who does a knee always makes me feel bad. Docherty was bloody unlucky.

Freudian slip?
I knew what I was doing....
He also said he was on the exercise bike very early pushing through the pain. For some if they push to hard it is detrimental but for libba this was not the case. Also being quite short if I had to guess this would make it easier coming back from a reconstruction making a full recovery as opposed to taller players. Tom doodee and that Sydney player (Alex Johnson?) a few years back come to mind as tall players who weren't able to make successful comebacks from reconstructions.

Everyone responds differently to surgery and recovery
Also this whole argument is based on a fallacy
Why do BigFoopy posters froth fallacies
for me this thread will never be beaten. It had everything, including barrel racing.

This isn't a rumours/dirt thread, but I enjoyed it. On the 10th of April, 2015, after West Coast finished 13th in and 2013, and 9th in 2014, this person started a thread saying that the club were the real deal. Well, HEAPS of people totally piled on top of him, but the Eagles kept improving and got to the Grand Final! There was 'muchos' egg on face, and even a few apologies
West Coast are the real deal
Absolutely awesome performance today, people saying their midfield is rubbish clearly know nothing about footy. Priddis, Gaff, Shuey are great players in and under, sure their kicking isn't great but the likes of Hurn and Yeo off half back more than make up for this. Kennedy is one of the best...

Ooops! I'll edit it
Some Melbourne supporter popped up on our board in early 2018 with a thread stating that we can, and may well, win the flag that year. The general reaction was "yeah ok wishful thinking mate".This isn't a rumours/dirt thread, but I enjoyed it.
