3rd ACL for Aaron Nietschke

[Demonland 73,140]

Poor bloke. 

[spirit of norm smith 16,589]

Absolutely shattering news.  The youngster must be feeling so down. Hope his teammates get around him and ex players like Schwartz reach out to him. 

[Cards13 9,117]

ahhhh bugger, he and Sloane can't take a trick. 

[picket fence 17,502]

Sloane? Not one of our players!

3 knee reco's I would think he might find it difficult to get back. Good luck

P.F

[DeeZee 7,445]

Absolutely devastated for the kid. 

[Lord Travis 10,763]

Horrible news. Seems his body wasn’t made for professional footy. He’ll struggle to make it back now you’d think. As horrible as it is, it’s not wise for a club to use a list spot for 4 years on a lateish draft pick who can’t get on the park.

Feel sad for the kid!

Try again Picket

[DeeZone 10,115]

That is truly a bitter pill for young Aaron to swallow, how devastated must he feel, he can't take a trick.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DeeSpencer 26,082]

Awful news for him. 
 

The new list rules do provide some relief for all involved. We can replace him for this year, and next year we can possibly invite him to train with the group until he’s fully rehabbed and beyond. It’s too early for those decisions but we can do the right thing by him. 

[YesitwasaWin4theAges 6,708]

My heart goes out to the kid.

[Little Goffy 14,639]

Awful.

Sloane is a She  PF 

Your AFLW knowledge is a bit limited!

Associated with Rory Sloane!

Sorry, but I have no interest in AFLW hence the lack of knowledge about our women personel. I hope she recovers well.

Sorry but with respect PF it's been Well publicised in photos and all over our website Plus D/L posts really pretty hard to ignore or miss.'

Really  bad Luck again  for Aaron Hope he can recover and play again. 
 

 

[Deeoldfart 8,061]

I'm absolutely gutted for the kid.  Nobody deserves that sort of luck. Bloody hard, but 'keep your head up' Aaron. 

[chook fowler 19,551]

Unspeakably sad. Hard to see away back from this.

[daisycutter 29,738]

Ok, it might well have been well docoed and all, but honestly I have iterated my postion and so lets leave it at that. I trust, however both players make speedy recoveries.

[titan_uranus 25,043]

Sad news.

Have many/any players made it back from three ACLs like this? Morabito, maybe?

You'd have to think the odds aren't great.

Hopefully the club looks after him through 2021 and maybe considers giving him another shot in the 2021/22 off-season, if there is a spot available.

alex johnson of sydney and dan menzel both did to some extent

[Forest Demon 4,681]

Not just 3 ACLs, but all in the pre-seasons of his first 3 seasons as a pro. Poor guy only got a chance to play a quarter of a scratch match in his time in the AFL, that’s awful luck.

Good luck to him, whether that’s another crack at it, or something else post playing footy.

[Roger Mellie 4,103]

Shattered for the kid

[DubDee 26,117]

Devastating for the bloke. He has gotta be thinking - is his body up to the rigors of AFL if he cant get through preseasons.

The curse continues... unfortunate for the young fella but a common occurrence over many decades at Demonland
