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!

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
