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.

    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

    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...

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
