[censored] game today, but thats another topic.

Any update on Xavier Lindsay?

He did walk down the race with the team after the game without crutches but had a noticeable limp.

Is it a suspected PCL, or similar? From a marking contest?

Fingers crossed it’s nothing serious. It’s grim how much we’re missing him already, but such is life for us right now.

Hopefully he’s back soon, and becomes a gun, as we traded out this year’s pick for him. Or am I wrong about that?

Must admit when XL wNt down and was holding hi knee was a real downer.😢😪

No mail but I’d be suspecting acl until proven otherwise

thats for the updates, fingers crossed its a lesser ligament

Watched the replay and I’m not sure it was a contact injury. Appeared the ACL buckle. Hope I’m wrong as I’m a huge fan already

Same. Hoping for the best but it didn’t look great.

Hopefully not an ACL.

Rotten day for poor Xavier Lindsay and a rotten day for the entire Melbourne Football Club.

Goody's post game presser he said they were hopeful of it not being too serious but would need scans to confirm.

Fingers crossed for the young man.

Not one thing has gone our way on the injury front this year, so let’s hope we finally catch a break.

That's unfortunately a bad sign....

Just watching the incident I reckon we’re in for some bad news which is a real shame.

Bah.. never before have I been so frustrated by the lack of information.

I usually fully understand that the club just want to get the scans know before commenting.

This one really hurts. Sitting here just fearing the worst.

that's the mfcss way!

(me too)

he came to the club recovering from a PCL,

does anyone know if it is the same knee?

Hopefully, it is just a very mild flare up of that....

MFCSS and Norm Smith curse strikes again. Already two in form small forwards done for the year.

Some of course won’t blame MFCSS but rather Goody, fitness staff, selectors, doormen, board, President or Jeff Kennett.

Listening to Goodwin’s answer leads me to believe it’s a genuine line ball outcome in terms of ACL.

Goody said Medicos usually know from examination but they were undecided so they will rely on scans.

Line ball.

This was the case with Max last year from memory. Hopefully we have the same outcome. 🤞

Fingers crossed for XL it’s not an ACL. If it is, this season can already GAGF.

If it is an ACL, it sucks for him and the team big time. It is clear as day, we are nowhere near contending this year.

If there is a silver lining, he'll be able to return still in season and put in a mammoth amount of physical and fitness work for next year.
