has no intention to return from his injury this year when McStay and Melksham have returned quickly, and Docherty is hoping to return.

Do you think this has something to do with Geelong courting him?
The Bulldogs will be one of their finals competitors so they want an easier Bulldogs opposition ?

I read that the Bulldogs didn’t want to risk his trade value

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.

 

[Sentinel]

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.

What?

 

[markm106]

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.

 

[Sentinel]

What?

It's fairly self explanatory

Nah it isn't. Pretty sure I heard the club saying they were protecting his trade value.

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.

Libra’s wasn’t a complete reconstruction from memory

Wouldn't have more to do with not risking his big pay day.

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?

Freudian slip?

I knew what I was doing....

 

[Atch]

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.

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

 

[HTPunter]

One time an Adelaide poster faked his own death: https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/thre..._on_fire-crows98-smithtastic33-is-ok.1152829/

Holy shit that was a good read.

So, is Red Mist Alex, or nah?

Favourite comment from that thread once it was discovered

I actually considered quitting smoking last night... now.. not so much, thanks Alex

• kate jesaulenko alias melting thread
• hamish mclachlan/rompingwins/cotchin dog thread
• worst 200 game player ever thread

can anyone suggest more legendary threads like this because that was way too enjoyable

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...

West Coast won their 2015 prelim v North. Can't remember the GF, did we win?
