We have no idea and this is all speculation at best. He will return when he is fully fit and confident and the doctors have given him the all clear.

Thanks dad

    He can take as long as he likes. The disturbing trend this season has been the repeat ACL injuries. Scharenberg is now in for his 3rd ACL and I doubt there is any hamstring tendon left to use as a graft. Nic Nat for a 2nd time and all to simple leg movements not unlike Lever. I am surprised there hasn't been a greater deveopment with the carbon fibre grafts given there have been so many repeat ACL injuries

    Didn't Nic Nat and Lever both do their good knees?

    Not sure with Nic Nat but Lever re injured the knee previously operate on. This link to a YouTube video explains why it takes 10 months min to heal and strengthen

    I wonder if they have sent him to the US like they did with Petracca.  I remember seeing some of the footage when Trac was over there, and thought that they were really getting the best possible rehab in place for him (not that I would know the difference between good rehab and bad rehab for this sort of thing!).

    Slightly off topic, but watching Scharenberg's knee just buckle on him was quite heartbreaking to be honest.  When they slow the replay down, you can see through his skin how his knee just exploded on him.  I still hate Collingwood, but it's never a nice thing to see a young player, any player, cut down by injury.

    I heard an interview with the American sports science guy who did Trac's recovery. He was one of the world's leaders in that stuff, and he pretty much said that a lot of people focus on "getting back", but that getting back quickly almost always results in minor or major recurrence of the injury down the line.

    The exercises that Petracca did during his rehab were designed by this guy, and supposedly were focused on long-term strength and "going the journey" in the sport. Considering Tracs knees seem fine, I hope Lever's doing the same stuff. Lever's a lightweight compared to Petracca, so whatever works for Trac's knees will surely work for Lever's too.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
