They do conduct a number of lateral movement tests in the rooms immediately after and generally a competent medico team can ascertain if an ACL has been ruptured.
Fingers crossed for Bam.

Yes, I hope that's what he based it off and not how he felt.
Though knowing Bam he probably would've said it was alright no matter the injury, seems that kinda guy.
There was no twisting action at all, I’d be shocked if it was an ACL.
I reckon it’s either Patella or PCL, his knee took the full weight of himself and the Freo player directly onto the turf.
Not dissimilar to traditional PCL of knees knocking against each other

I recall last time this happen to Gov they gave him the week off. Guessing the long plane trip back didn't help either
Similar to how Rowell did his knee.
Though there was some twisting going on, but it was lower in the leg. His ankle/lower leg did get contorted.

would suck big time if true.
Sorry I was factoring in the Carlton return from injury levy of an additional 4-6 weeks conditioning etc …
Not the worst outcome at least.
I've done an ACL and the pain is excruciating for the first few hours espexially any touching the ground then goes away after hours / a day. Remember Judd grimacing. The way Kennedy came off the ground and he was touching the ground he didn't do an ACL and they tend to report those very quickly. The way he reacted I thought it was more ankle related but everyone is talking knee so I'd be shocked if it was ACL.

It can be entirely different - may be a partial tear etc.
I've seen players do an ACL and still walk off the ground assisted. Others (like Juddy), aren't able to.
These days, the tests they do on the ground are incredibly accurate as to whether it's a full tear or not.

Hopefully an update from the Club soon.
I absolutely love big Chugga....had the fortune of chatting with him briefly a few years back at my local golf club...he's an absolute gem.
But for mine, if it ends up being 6-8 weeks, you'd take that any day as opposed to the worse possible scenario where we may not see him for another 12 months. Let him see out the season from the grandstands, and come back cherry ripe for a monster pre season.
Apparently there's some bloke running around in the magoo's who's been pushing hard for a recall anyway...

Just about fully recovered from mine - no severe pain no crutches no surgery. Full rupture
. Different for everyone.

Hewett has been the sub lately if that's what you mean
It was a newbie poster so not sure how reliable their info is.
Based on standard timelines MCL is 6-8 weeks, PCL 10-12 and ACL 12 months. If it's 6-8 weeks its most likely an MCL. Max Gawn did one in round 2.
Whether he comes back this year would depend on how we are going (both ladder and injury wise) as well as his own recovery. I'm not sure he is enough of an upgrade on Hewett and Dow for us to play him if he is anything other then 100%.

Sam is one I trust with his reporting....normally gets the good oil.
Good Carlton man too
Might just be a pcl, which is a better outcome than expected
