    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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
