Interesting thing with repeat ACL ruptures. The physical test we use to assess ACL patency is the 'Lachman's' test, and in my experience and statistically, they reveal more 'give' on reconstructed kne

The ruptured ligament is surgically replaced by an equivalent tissue, harvested in Jake's case from his patellar tendon or quadriceps tendon, as his hamstring has already been used. First stage is the

ABC saying Melbourne are worried it's an ACL...

FML that would be right. We can’t have things go smoothly at Melbourne. Something always has to go wrong. 

Fingers crossed!

Just caught the end of someone on ABC in rooms interview.  Maybe Tommy McD?

Either he or commentator said ACL was mentioned somewhere.  All a bit vague, but IF a full ACL the man involved would surely know it.

Club suspects bone bruising. Sent him immediately for scans.

Sadly no contact when his knee seemed to buckle, so unlikely to be bone bruising, I reckon.  Sincerely hope that this is just MFCSS in my part!

TripleM doc said likely ligament damage, but only expects 4-6 weeks off. We shall see.

 

E: Goodwin just said suspected ACL

Felt so relieved reading that.

Then I got to the second line.

For [censored] sake.

It will be what it is.

Please remind me who is / are playing any similar type of rôle at Casey?  

Keilty? How is he coming along?

Same question for Petty?

It would be a backward step though could become necessary to more Tommy back?

I rate Petty. However as we saw with Nev today, i reckon it's just another tall defender to plug the hole and free up nev and hibbo for the intercept.

If he needs a MRI then almost certainly not until Monday but the 2 day delay wouldn’t effect recovery from whatever it turns out to be.

Surely footballers get preferential treatment and quicker results? 

Not sure we can wait until Monday. Might die of anxiety.

Is it possible that it’s a partial knee tear and he returns in 6-8 weeks like Dale Morris?

Hope he returns like Jake Lever, not like Dale Morris ?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
