i don't know if it is a good sign but he didn't display much pain and walked off pretty normally. on tv after the game he was walking ok with no aids.

Must've jinxed him buly making him favorite player on my profile. Ffs.

What would you do?

Unfortunately it doesn’t mean much.

Give them a good piece of my mind... And my glass (it’s what we do in Perth).

for f@#k sake. this is a massive blow. we cant move tom mcdonald back again. he is much better forward. tmac makes poor decisionsck. roll the dice and play t.smith or frost down back. either way,  i think finals will be hard to make and we lost the Adelaide deal after this.

This is perhaps the greatest overreaction I have ever read on here. We better pack up shop. Sitting second on the ladder and we lose one player and you reckon we are done for finals

Gee do you suffer panic attacks, it is not 1950's player get over ACL all the time, you dont judge the trade over 1or 2 seasons, his young he will be back next year, and do you think we won't win 5 more games without lever.

[Wiseblood 24,637]

There's a doctor in this thread who is totally overreacting.  He should know the prognosis so this is extremely worrying to me.  He's even diagnosed the side with 'missthefinalitis' because of it.  We're doomed!

If ACL related usually means bad news.

[DeeSpencer 25,723]

Terrible news for Jake. I saw it live and the change in direction on a shifting surface is classic ACL. 

Unfortunately a risk of signing Jake was that he did another ACL. Hopefully he rehabs like the professional he is and ads some size and comes back bigger and better. Might be able to coach up his replacement as well.

Extremely poor form by them. Regardless of who you support, laughing at a young man who has suffered a serious injury and who will miss a year of an already short career means you are 100% a grub.

This makes me just as bad as them, but I really hope anyone who commented or even used a laughing emoji loses all of their worldly possessions in a house fire. 

[chook fowler 19,459]

The mechanism of injury makes it unlikely to be bone bruising. Classic ACL material I’m afraid.

[danielE288 779]

At least he wont have to front up at Adelaide Oval against the Crows. Silver lining.

This self described Dr may well not be a medico: possibly a PhD in Social Science (subcategory over reacting) ?

Farrrrrrrrrkkkkknnnnn injury curse

step up Joel Smith

[corowa 216]

Obviously Adelaide don't have a memory as long as mine.

The mongrels pinched Scott Thompson when he was just hitting his straps with us. No suggestions from them that he was a traitor for leaving us.

And I wonder what they think about Gibbs going to them from Carlton.

I’d set them up with a left jab and then punch through them with a straight right.

 

taking pleasure out of someone’s misfortune is the epitome of scum

The world is full of hysterical clowns and you are obviously just another one.

The word starts with F and ends with K, this word can be interpreted in many different ways. But in this case its just in complete disappointment.

Exactly. I bet they wouldn't say the same thing if it was Charlie cameron who also left. and what you would want to say to them is Lever wanted to come home just like Gibbs did, so do you have an issue with Gibbs playing for your club? No one wants to stay at Adelaide

Fingers crossed for Jake.

Not adverse to Joel coming in at some point but is he tall enough to play a loose intercept role?  Pedo bear maybe.  Or is it time to blood Petty?

Weids worth a shot?  Might be the best move for him (us) if fit.

KC and Drunkn might have something to add here.
