Interesting, because I noticed he hurt his knee during a ruck contest on the weekend as well.

 

[Gralin]

You hope not, poor kid

 

[Joao]

Can't catch a break on those knees if true. Sad

 

[This Is Anfield]

That sucks!

 

[beta_condition]

Have to question the GWS medical team if so, took a pretty heavy knee knock during the game against Hawthorn and returned to the field. Probably just connecting random dots but it has to be asked.

Would suck if true been heavily limited due his knees.

The fact its come from McLure gives hope that its not the case.

yeah I wouldn't be connecting those dots at all

Geez neither us or the Giants will have a forward line come Sunday at this rate

Why not?

There’s been a lot of thought that ACLs happen on the back of minor tweaks of the knee weeks earlier.

If the knee isn’t structurally sound you’re at a greater risk of it giving out.

 

[captain blood 17]

Geez that's cruel luck for the kid. I hope it isn't true.

 

[Tulip]

After two ACLs and some really indifferent form this season (10 goals in 12 games), you wonder why they'd send him back on.

Sorry to hear its happened again, sadly the career he looked like having hasn't panned out

GIANTS forward Jon Patton will undergo scans for a suspected ACL injury after a training incident this morning.

Sadly confirmed by the club. Poor bastard.

And to those keyboardwarriors who thinks they know better than our conditioning and medical staff.

Get ****ed nuffies

I’m pretty sure he also did one playing junior footy. This could be his fourth

because its a long bow to draw at this point, do we even know if it is the knee he knocked during the game, do we know how he hurt himself?

it's jumping to conclusions without facts which I know we are good at on bigfooty but it's also going straight to attacking the club medicos instead of having sympathy for the poor bloke

 

[Senor Ed]

Probably in my least favourite 3 players in the comp, but still terrible news. No one likes to see young players continually do ACL's.

Had 'jumper's knee' or something as a junior.

 

[Satchel]

feel sorry for the kid - just cant catch a break

 

[BallaratBulldog]

Unfortunately, some players aren't durable despite the talent.

FFS, what did he do to you?

Is a fair player and for his size doesn't fling his body around unnecessarily.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

What that? 3 times now?

 

[Roachy8]

Why the Bulldogs hate for The General and GWS?

Bad luck for the lad.

 

[Duskfire]

Feel for him; approaching Menzel territory.

Both him and Cameron out really hurts gws finals hopes.

 

[Checkered]

Gee they really could use Jeremy Cameron right about now

Neil Cordy on 1278 Macquarie saying it's Patons left knee , and knee can't get scanned today as the only knee scanning hospital dept @ Westmead is closed today
