The only case examples from Aussie footy codes are Antonie Kaufusi from Rugby League & Chris Knights from AFL....

Kaufusi managed to play until 2015 after doing his patella tendon I n 2007.

Chris Knights did his in 2013 & came back to play 1 game before rupturing his hamstring tendon in the same leg in 2015

NB: Kurtley Beale just did his patella tendon 2 weeks ago for the Waratahs in the Super Rugby comp. he's been listed at 6-9months
I thought I read Michael Longs injury was similar?

Played for 6 more years but only averaged me 10 games a year and didn't get near his best again.

That is just revionist BS.
Never did the club once say wr would not trade pick 5.
They did say they would not trade pick 5 for Carlisle alone without something coming back.

We traded 5 for Carlisle and pick 14 which became Gresham.

Dont make up bullshit.
ST KILDA may not have completed any trades on day one of the NAB AFL Trade Period, but Chief Operating Officer Ameet Bains said the club had a number of positive discussions that could lead to deals being struck later in the week.

St Kilda’s list management committee met with each of the other 17 clubs throughout the day at Etihad Stadium, with Jake Carlisle and Nathan Freeman the hot topics.

“We’re exploring a range of possibilities with respect to how we can satisfy Essendon with the trade,” Bains told SAINTS.com.au.

“There is an initial stalemate. They want our pick five, which we are not willing to part with"

A)That was day 1 of trade week & at that particular time sounded pretty blunt to me.

B)The word your looking for is Revisionist :)

Yeah, Long did his patella slipping while he had a set-shot from memory, back in 96 in the centenary game vs the Cats. He did come back but I think like you said he wasn't his old self.

Id love to see us be bold and try and fast forward our premiership window to next year whilst we still have Roo and Joey.

Out:
Lee to Freo for 3rd pick (37ish)

Pick 6 + 37 to GC for Melb pick (10ish) and Garlett

Longer to for pick 18ish

= pick 10, 18, 22, 42, 60

In:
18 + 22 + 2017 2nd to GWS for Marchbank, Steele, Ahern

10 + 60 to WC for Gaff + Lamb

Out: Longer, 2017 2nd, Lee
In: Ahern, Gaff, Steele, Marchbank, Lamb, Garlett

**Would love to land B.Crouch also

I would say the one thing that is really holding JOM back is not so much the rehab from the rupture, but the fact that he's battled patella tendinitis since he was 15. There's something in his biomechanics that just doesn't allow it to stay settled & asymptomatic & it's no doubt playing havoc with his rehab & recovery from the actual rupture

He is not fully quoted FFS.
Trade radio numerous times said no straight swap for pick 5 as they wanted a first rounder in the draft.

Your initial post was complete bullshit and so is your second hand quote above.

Get your facts righr before you pot the club or you will be seen as a fool.

Probably too late already.

I was talking about this with my dad a couple of nights ago & said to him, excluding Academy kids, who was the next best pure mid left in the draft after Parish was taken at the Bombers pick....?

The answer is Jade Gresham :)

So by trading, we acquired Carlisle as well as the most likely bloke we would have taken at pick 5 (which became pick 6) anyway

Just remember we also parted with our second rounder. Seems to be often missed.

Bloody happy with Gresh tho, looks a star. Just wait until he starts getting more of the pill.

His first season was unreal & that's with having that tendinitis. Do you think he could reach that level again?

Exactly.
Problem with nuffies like David King is rhey think we swapped 5 for Carlisle and Gresham just materialised out of nowhere.

The trade was so agonising and drawn out because we wouldn't cave to the demand of 5 for Carlisle, the exact opposite what patty_vanda posted and used to pot the club.

On SEN draft night, their TAC special comments guy said Gresham was only behind Parish in the draft for a mid.
Considering Parish was gone he said we had done well in getting Gresham.

But hey facts dont cut it when you want to make up complete bullshit just so you can disparage the club and Bains.

You cant stop stupid though.

True, but we got Rice cheap and were wrapt to get White @ 40
Persevering Saint was at the draft and Finnis showed him the list he had on his phone.
Gresham was at pick 7 and White @ pick 14.

So we got
Carlisle
Gresham
Rice
White
Freeman

from the D&T 2015.

But some want to still bag the club.

I want to see him get on the park before making any assumptions.

Personally, I don't want him. I'd rather go to the draft or trade for a gun with no injury concerns

That was our old mate Brett Anderson: he actually said he rated Gresham as the best mid outside of the Academy kids - ie ahead of Parish, presumably behind Mills, Hopper and from memory Ando was a Kennedy fan.

I had a mate telling me how's Carlisle going, Parish is going just fine. I said how's Aaron Francis going.

Milera maybe > Gresham but wanted to stay in SA.
I can't remember the date but a few were pissed when before the draft one of our staff said no difference between pick 5-15.

To my mind we were prepared to down grade but didnt want to trade both our 2016-17 2nd rounders which was where the Bombers came out ahead as we probably hoped to get them to give up a 2nd or 3rd rounder to make a trade happen instead of us giving up a 2nd.
That's probably why we were extremely happy to get White and no early bid on Bailey even if Matho, Balic or Bonner may have been higher on our list.

No way do GWS do that. We'd be lucky to get 2 of Marchbank, Steele or Ahern for what you're offering. I'd love it if it came off, but jeepers that's unders.
