Christian Petracca’s 2024 Season Ending Injuries

Featured Replies

According to SEN it's four ribs, lacerated spleen and a hole in the lung. That's a long stay on the sidelines.

Sorry, saw this is covered elsewhere. Mods feel free to junk it. (Pretty much how I'm feeling about the year.)

We've got the bye which will help, but the spleen and lung will likely heal in that time, and the ribs are going to be painful, but not impossible to play with.
He might miss the Nth game, but equally wouldn't be surprised to see him named either.

To think he went back on the field too. What a champion. 


Take a look at the incident carefully and I don't think there is much doubt that Moore deliberately put his knee "hard" into tracs back.

I thought the same dl4e.👎

Obviously learnt that from that [censored] Mason Cox.

He certainly flexed his knee forward unnecessarily as he jumped from behind, no duty of care at all. It’s a wonder it doesn’t happen more often.

Are you a doctor?  3-12 week recovery according to this site.

Also life threatening.  He should not have been sent back on if the doctor saw the incident on TV as it was right into the spleen/kidney area.

We had 2 years when Burgo was at the club where this stuff didn’t happen (injured players being sent back on).  But it was a regular occurrence pre 2020 and post 2021.  


give him the rest of the season off. We're F'd anyway. Should not have been allowed back on the ground. 

Another “football act” by The Filth. Putting a player in hospital.

Get well. Soon Tracc.

And the  hits keep on coming.

What a disaster. A disgrace that our medical team let him continue to play imo.

Moore showed a killer instinct. Something we lack.

Get well trac.

Nope, but you don't appear to be either with your internet diagnosis. 

A lacerated spleen <> ruptured spleen! So, before you go all dougie howser on my comment, he's in hospital, they will make the call with our medical staff and bring him back when he's ready. I'm not saying he will play, and I still won't be surprised if he does, but tell me where I said we should risk him or his health?

Also I call bollocks on your last comment. Burgo would have NOTHING to do with assessing player injuries in a game. He was high performance manager, and fitness, not the doctor! so pull your head in before attacking other people!

EDIT: I also didn't make any reference to whether he should have played on, he obviously shouldn't have.

Edited by Ouch!


I believe this happened in central Victoria last year in a juniors comp. The kid received a hard tackle, went off, went back on and collapsed, went unresponsive and died. This could of been a lot worse. Hope Trac gets and feels better soon 🙏

Every decent defender should be making their opponent feel it in a marking contest, it's exactly the same thing Maysie does whenever he gets the chance, and rightly so. It's just really unfortunate that Moore's knee caught Trac in the worst possible spot.

How the hell did he get back on the field.  Crazy. 

Could be out for the remainder of the H&A?

Lets hope there's no complications.

All the best son ✌🏼

Agreed

I feel for Trac, the lacerated spleen is a concern and more like a car crash injury and he would have been in some serious pain and I cannot believe he actually went back out to play. I would be surprised if it wasn't season-ending.

And before you jump on me, I have years of experience working in a trauma setting. Without knowing the medical notes all I can say is the spleen is tricky and a serious injury. It contains lots of blood and its healing time varies and it is slow to repair. 

From a reputable medical journal "Avoid strenuous activities that could re-injure your spleen. These include lifting, jogging, aerobic exercise, and contact sports. Get plenty of rest for 2-3 months."

Let him rest and fully recover and time to blood some kids.

Are you a doctor? If not, you’re not qualified to make this comment. Players go back on with rib pain regularly from my experience. 

And Burgo isn’t and wasn’t a doctor.

Regardless of all that, hopefully Trac is OK and recovers well. In the meantime, for any game he misses, we get a good opportunity to try someone new, but we’re also [censored]. 

So long as it's a "football act" hey...maybe we need a "football act" coach like those scumbags seem to have.

 

The comp thinks we are soft targets

We play too nice. No mongrel. Think May's ribs, tracc, Brayshaw, May's cheek from Hawkins.

Thats the season done. Rest up and recover Trac.  Your health is the priority. Time to perfect more recipes apart from just meatballs.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    It’s late February. Two teams widely predicted to finish near the foot of the AFL table in 2026 face off against each other in sweltering 30-degree heat deep in outer suburbia in a match simulation with fresh new faces and uneven team numbers. There are no nearby sheep stations on offer; the result promises nothing more than bragging rights for the winner. Nevertheless, the loser appears hopelessly adrift, whereas the other seems to have found its footing after a couple of years of struggle – perhaps a hint at bigger things to come?
