    What a sad sack you must be.

    It's a great sight. Must be an exciting but very nervous time when a reco patient starts to test the joint for the first time.

    And besides, both feet are off the ground. It's the Olympic definition of running.

    I don't make comments like these lightly I have seen a lot of injured player come back from a knee injury and some never make it back because they have not done enough work.

    I was a trainer with the MFC in the 1976 to 1985 and an athletics official for 30 years (Olympics in 2000 and Commonwealth Games 2006) so I have seen it all.

    I love the club and I hope he makes a great recovery like Max Gawn who did his knee twice but he could be the MFC version of Alex Johnson who did his knee 6 times.

    I hope those who think I am sad sack, I hope you put in the similar amounts of work that did for the MFC.

    I would think he has done work on the weightless treadmill first not running outside.

    Early days but given he has been through this twice he would take the conservative approach.

    Looks to have a lot of quadriceps wasting.

    Yeah pretty common Chook which is why the limp will be excaberated. My son did an ACL playing footy and that was the most singular issue with rehab. The Quads just waste away like anything and it takes a truck load of work to get them back. My Son missed a year and then came back strongly and played good senior footy before injuring knee again. Result knee totally wrecked EXCEPT ACL which the specialist remarked that the ACL was still ROCK SOLID. So he embarked on a rigourous program under the watchful eye of one of the Collingwood Physios who concentrated a lot on building up the Quads muscles to withstand anything. Essentially my son did an AFL Rehab. Hopefully that puts you in the picture. Cheers Fence!

    Good luck to your son. He sounds very dedicated

    I hope he goes to USA like Petracca, that training was intense

     

    I was lucky enough to talk Jake at a function pre GWS game and I asked about his knee and rehab. Fascinating insight as he will follow Trac and do the rehab training at the same facility but didn't do anything like it when he tore is ACL in the TAC cup. He had more trouble with his back and hamstrings which where tended to rather than the knee. I wish him well.

    Yep, straight line running with Zero deviations! 

    He will be right. as an aside I take the point that his first ACL Rehab wasn't as comprehensive as what he will do now! 

    So he will be much better of!?

    It is fantastic to see Jake doing any type of running at this stage of the year and it shows his determination.. A real professional the kind of person we are going after because they are worth their wait in gold. Well done Jake  and hope to see you play in round 1. Wish you the best.

    Anyone heard anywhere when he’s expected to return. ACL’s are usually a year although Goldsack did it in 6mths but he’s older. That would be round 11. Others have said they are 9mths nowadays. That would be close to the start of the season. 

    I have no idea.

    I think there would be 0 rush. If it takes 12 it takes 12. I prefer he takes 15 and never does it again. 

    He would probably aim to play round 1, but my guess is we will see him after the bye.

    Yes, correct, surpise, he is aiming for Round 1, spoke to him about it, already ahead of schedule

    You will find they took the graft from his hamstring.  There has been some amazing advancements with Knee reco's you have a number of options for the Graft one being Transplant which I think Goldsack had, a Transplant means you only need to rehab from the knee and not the area they take the graft as well

    It's a great sight and he seems upbeat. I don't think our staff would be taking any risks, I'm sure he'll put in all the necessary work and then some.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
