See my report on the injury in the training thread, mods can we close this thread can be covered inn the training thread, and it was his left knee not the right which he has supported with strapping

Or alternatively keep this thread open and not derail the training thread?

all things aside this is a particular topic whilst the training may cover a myriad of things before its inevitably derailed.

No it wasn't will put a report in the training thread, it happened right in front of me

Pull your head in mate. No need to shoot down someone else report just because it was what YOU saw.

Cheers for that mo64

Shhhh binman, that makes too much sense. He wants it closed so we can all read his report on the injury and ignore everything else.

Hopefully it is a hyper extension. I've hyper extended my knee once and I could barely walk.

Others say they have done an ACL and could walk

So without scans we are all just speculating.

What wasn't?

What wasn't?

It

There should be no reason why the training thread cannot be about training and this thread about Petracca's knee. Or do we want the training thread to be all about Petracca? There is also no need for some here to herd posters onto the training thread only to be told by the mods to keep on thread topic when the Petracca talk goes into wider discussion (which it will). Let it go Saty please.

the doctors would have a very good idea once in the rooms after doing the mobility tests. scans will confirm

fingers crossed it's not that serious...

And all we can do is keep our fingers crossed that it's only minor and won't keep him out for too long.

Who are the medicos on land who can give us considered views as more info comes to hand (as opposed to dismissive put downs)?

Sorry if this has been said somewhere but did he seem to injure the same knee that he has heavily strapped?

Thanks

Just got home from training and can confirm the injury. Petracca knee buckled on landing from a marking contest. Was down for quite a few minutes in obvious pain. Some players came up to him with a consoling pat. He managed to limp to the boundary line where he was attended to. Did some short walks along the boundary with a limp, then proceeded to AAMI Park with a trainer/doctor with a more noticeable limp.

Petracca's knee and thigh were bandaged when I arrived at training, and he was on the sidelines. I was surprised when he got involved in all the training drills.

If you see a report from Mark Stevens regarding Petracca's injury, the diagnosis came from yours truly. He arrived with a cameraman just as Petracca was being attended to. He came up to me to ask what happened. We both agreed that it's too early to tell.

This is the second most disturbing thing reported in this thread.

WTF anyone would talk to Stevens has me stuffed. I'd love for him to come up and start a conversation with me...

No, the right was strapped I read in training report he hurt his left.

On the radio....ACL. Season over from our website

Unfortunately scans today confirmed a rupture of the ACL in his left knee.

Christian Petracca will miss the 2015 season after rupturing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee at training on Monday.

Thanks for the report.

While Hogan is running around ragdolling people I'll say that God doesn't totally hate us. He just really does not like us very much.
