Malceski was in a similar position. Around the 26-27 age mark having just done a 2nd ACL. I think LARS could be an option for Caff.
Doc Larkins did say that he would only do it on a 32yr old who has one season left in him.

Two bad knees is going to be extremely hard when he returns. I don't know how the hell he will do it.
I am trying to find a positive in all this. Week after week we get bad news re injuries.
The only positive I can come up with is that at Collingwood your likely to recover from an ACL quicker than if you do your hammy.
Thats all I have got

I'm the same... love the bloke.... but he's dead wood. It would be horrible to delist him but....
Think we need to extend his contract to the end of 2016, if it hasn't already been done. First, we owe it to him to give himself a chance to get back and see how he goes. Second, it would be absolutely disastrous to the spirit and commitment of the team to leave a bloke hanging going through rehab for a knee copped while representing the club onfield. Players need to know they'll be treated fairly and supportively when injured.
Just a tragic fortnight for the Collingwood Football club. To lose Scharenberg and Macaffer for the entire 2015 season is just horrible.
My bigger concern though is that we enter the season 2 players short on the list, and we've seen this year the importance of depth.
Don't know what we are going to do about that.

And here is the official Collingwood club article not relating to any other player other than Caff as discussed.
"Macaffer will have a traditional knee reconstruction and aim to return in the second half of 2015".
Horses for courses and what best suits the individual as mentioned.

Poor Caff, he worked so hard to get back from the first one and cement a spot in the team.
I just hope he recovers well and attacks the second half of next year. Good luck, Caff!

That's what the LTI rule is for 86, hopefully another player or 2 will be promoted (Cox would be nice in 2015 as per Huddo), get an opportunity grab it with both hands and become an important player going forwards.

Correct
I have long been an admirer of Gault even thru his years of injuries, with White strugling and Lynch retiring he has all the motivation required to have a massive preseason to fill the 2nd ruck role/ key position utility role.

Caff has important role as he help Scharanberg thru his ACL as well
Yep and he's already acknowledged how he will partner Scharen through their recovery. It worked very well for Caff and Krak in 2012 so let's help the boys as much as we can and look forward to their returns in late 2015.
