Jono Patton ACL ? The curse of the recurring ACL injuries

[Sir_Loin]

Poor bloke some players have no luck at all. Hope he can get back an have a career

 

[Ok Boomer]

Awful for him.

 

[TedDougChris]

You hope not, poor kid

Agreed, some people just never catch a break...

 

[Power Raid]

not great

he's 25 now and likely to be out of AFL level until 2020. Very disappointing.

 

[Malifice]

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

They drafted 4 Key forwards too.

 

[Sylvia Saint]

Poor bloke! ACL's are so hard to read, if I'm not mistaken his last one was four years ago now (same as Lever), just when you think you might be in the clear then...

 

[Snake_Baker]

GWS are cursed.

Once again the best list in the comp is cruelled by injury.

 

[Damon_3388]

Lobb and Himmelberg go alright as forwards.

 

[Damon_3388]

GWS are cursed.

Their injury list isn't even that long at the moment TBH, and half of them aren't even best 22 players.

 

[DavyRed]

Terrible news for the guy. I can’t imagine what must be going through his head right now. Best of luck for the future.

 

[jakson68]

We all get injuries, as my club knows all to well every year. It is a cruel industry.
This does suck for him though and if I followed GWS, I would be even more pissed at Cameron for his stupid act now.
Hope he recovers well and has a real crack in the second half of next year.

 

[Heaps of fun]

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

Get ****** nuffies

Honestly there's probably plenty on here that know better than the clowns that are running your medical department.

 

[Mofra]

Awful, as a neutral when any player with star power goes down with an ACL it's bad news to hear, especially if it's a repeat injury.

Poor guy can't catch a break. Seems like a leader at the club too.

 

[juss]

GWS are cursed.

Once again the best list in the comp is cruelled by injury.

If games were won by looking at lists on paper, there'd be no need to play any matches. Sure they'd be better, but they still have a lot to go performance wise to be considered anywhere near the best team.

3rd ACL injury for Patton? , thats a tough break for a young footy player. Only on rare occasions have we seen players recover from multiple knee reco's, Smith x 3, Menzel x 4

Hope he recovers and can get back on the field.

 

[Grave Danger]

Lobb and Himmelberg go alright as forwards.

Lobb is quite talented, but he seems to have a low pain threshold. He'll need to harden up now.

 

[Ichabod Noodle]

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

no. he had a knee issue end of juniors / start of seniors but if I recall correctly is was patela tendonitis or something. went to Sweden to have it dealt with. only played 7 games in his first year.
so not a reco. still... 3 is a b*tch.

 

[Coaster2012]

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.

Who ******* asked you?

What a s**t comment.

Their recoveries, especially Smith's, are very limited too .

Terrible timing for GWS with Cameron still out suspended for another month or so.

Absolutely it is. Your recollection confirmed in the AFL Website story

[Anja_Nees]

Why the Bulldogs hate for The General and GWS?

Bad luck for the lad.

I don’t think we generally have problems with either. I think it’s just that he performed well in the prelim and the <1 goal loss last year. I quite like him.

As for GWS I think it’s just the Ward/Griffen factor coupled with the fact we have some bragging rights. I don’t hate them. I oddly like them sometimes.

 

[Isaac Cumming No 1]

Right now it's about The General. After going through two difficult knee reconstructions and rehab, another one must be a horrible prospect.

Might be Matt Flynn come on down as far as the team goes.

 

[a_fighting_fury]

heck, I feel sorry for the kid.

Wish him a full and speedy recovery.
