    Bloody hell, that terrible.  Is it simple genetics or bad surgeon, if its the same knee ?  

    Different knee, apparently.

    I have read that women on their period have a higher percentage chance of doing their ACL.. I thought it was witchdoctor science, but apparently its being backed up by evidence on the injuries.  Do we need to change some practices, esp for someone like Sloane in their preparation and conditioning?

    I'm going to gut a chicken and get back to you with the correct answer.

    When you say "apparently its being backed up by evidence on the injuries" can you give specific details about this ?

    Oh my god that is devastating for an athlete to have to go through once let alone 3 times. All the best for you future endeavours Shae!

    Thanks, as I said it was surprising as how that would make the ligaments more susceptible to injury, but it does somehow!

    It may be connected to relaxin, a hormone that amongst other things relaxes ligaments in preparation for childbirth - its concentration rises and falls with the menstrual cycle.

    Very sad/tough news.

    What mental strength she must have through all this.

    David Schwarz must have also been on his period.

    This is just awful news for Shae, fingers crossed she gets a final crack at it.

    not sure what to say about that post

    Because people are focusing on the fact that she is a woman more than she is a footballer.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
