Official Club Stuff Libba knee injury - 2015 season over

[Libba21]

Just thought it deserves it's own thread as he is our best player. Hopefully it's not bad news all updates and news can you please post it here. As it has wreaked my night seeing him go down!

 

[doug85]

Terrible news. Hopefully it's a sprain or a medial.

 

[Scary_Foot_9]

* a thousand *s.

 

[ozzyoslo]

Sad to hear, gun player, but if he's a long term injured player what it does is fast track two other players in return. That isn't a bad thing.

 

[timtamWB]

The only positive if he is injured means that the draftees might get more opportunities.

 

[Harlequin]

disappointing to hear of Libba's injury

Hope the news is not as bad as first thought

 

[JJHunter]

Feel like I've been hit by a truck. As if the years wasn't going to be tough enough as it was. Would only rate it a 5% chance of not being an acl having seen a lot of that exact movement before.

Shattering

 

[ManWithNoName]

Popped in hoping for an update. But alas, none yet. There is no positive to this. Sure, it gives a young kid a go and blah blah. But screw that, Libba's a gun and has years ahead of him. This year should be another big step forward for him. Would be cruel if he'd gone down now.

Hope, sincerely hope, it's just a minor injury. After Petracca and McKenzie, the league's due for some good news about pre-season knee injuries.

When you've got your young best and fairest winner, gun midfielder injured, you'll excuse us if we try to look for a silver lining.

Wait till it's actually confirmed folks

 

[GarnerSmash]

Fingers and toes crossed folks.

 

[TN25]

Really hope it isn't serious for Libba. ACLs are terrible, terrible injuries and I never want to see any player do one, especially a highly talented young gun

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

hope it's not serious guys, gun youngster

 

[BallaratBulldog]

footy gods why you do this

 

[Abomination]

Praying for you guys. Nasty injury and it's time the gun kids won out for a change!

Hope he's ok.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

s**t news.

Never good seeing quality players injured.

Hoping for the best news.

Note to self:

Light candle in front of icon of St Christopher of Grant for Libba.

 

[wian]

Heard from Ben Graham it's most likely an ACL

 

[threenewpadlocks]

We don't need this...

 

[Leon]

Dear footy gods

You make it so Libba is ok, or just a 4-6 weeker, or I will kill you.

You owe us, you ****ing bastards.

 

[maddog37]

Imagine Libba after twelve months in the gym! (Clutching uncontrollably for positives)

 

[Bemoreboyddog]

So dejected. Looked forward to this day for so long and we get this. I'd feel the same way at a wake.

 

[Bont2Bruce]

There aren't any positives.

But this will at least get the media off our case and give us back the rightful underdog status that we somehow lost in their universe after going for and getting Tom Boyd.

 

[Testekill]

Well, last time Libba was out for an extended amount of time Wallis was playing the best that he's ever played.

 

[immortalmike]

Not sure you'd have him walking around and in the huddle with an acl. Hopefully scans are just precautionary.
