Forgive me if im wrong as I don’t know too much about acl’s, but am I right in saying acls don’t ever actually heal. So even partial tear will always be there if no surgery. Therefore his rehab will be just be trying to build up his muscles around his knee before he plays again?

No im pretty sure partial tears heal, a rupture won’t, although I’ve heard of a few cases of an acl re attaching but it’s like a one in a million chance

 

[Ned Ryerson]

This was before lewis' injury news.
Now, throw him to FF and let him sink or swim

That’s a really bad idea and not remotely comparable to Buddy in 2013 being used as a decoy to allow Rough and Gunston to feast on poorer defenders.

 

[JZedd]

Great to hear Mackenzie playing well again. He's going to be a class act for us.

That's not possible. Didn't we get a D+ from our trade/draftees....

Full ruptures can heal, there is a relatively new treatment program involving locking the knee in a brace - locked at 90 degrees for 4 weeks, then a further 8 weeks with increasing range of motion. It’s called the Cross Bracing Protocol (after the surname of the doctors who have developed it - father an orthopaedic surgeon and son a sports physician). They have had good results with shorter return to play than full reconstruction

Jeka, lewis, green/kosi aren't in the same stratosphere as those three

 

[TheFourPillars]

I repeat Jeka will not play forward.

 

[CoagVex]

Rather him than frost or sicily

 

[Mercy Seat]

It’s not a choice between those guys either. We’ll use the forwards we have. We’re a rebuilding side in a development year, we can afford to play the young forwards on our list.

I've heard about this, and it's extremely interesting given the studies I've seen over the past few years about how ineffective a lot orthopaedic surgical interventions are compared to placebo. Can't wait to see more about it.

Are you prepared to give yourself a 2 Sabbatical on big footy if wrong. You post with such authority (I like your posts) as if you're hearing this from one of the coaches. By the way, I agree but not with the same conviction.

TheFourPillars goes to training sessions and has conversations with club staff, if anyone is allowed conviction with their opinions, it's he.

Damn, this came out 6 years too late for me haha

I'm well aware. I like his posts.And I'm fully aware of his and others' training reports. And I agreed. Are you his legal guardian and is Four Pillars crying in the bedroom. Sheeesh... Just chill out. Oh since you're so positive why don't you take up the offer Mojo.

He's a sensitive soul our Four Pillars.

I'm actually not very positive on Jeka, TBH, but I haven't written him off.

Dale Morris tried this and lasted half a game of football before it went again.

I'd be stunned if an AFL player ever considered it after that.

 

[Suntory Boss Coffee]

Is Sicily to full forward the new Roughy to CHB?

 

[threesixpio]

Knights to back pocket

 

[WWSD]

Is Ramsden a chance to make his debut early in the year or do you think he may need more time in the VFL first?

I was at training this morning. Lewis watching on the side lines with a knee support on. Jeka training as a defender the entire session.

 

[Hawked Wings]

Just saw a video on Twitter, who was the tall 52 kid?

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Well, yes, hence why I said you made a bad comparison.

 

[Accipiter]

Sicily will be the solution for Lewis replacement as we got better kicking midfielders

You mean have him double teamed and smashed to pieces by opposition thugs defenders? We need a monster in that role. I sure as hell don't want to see our best player subjected to that ....

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

It’s unlikely, but you can’t completely rule it out unless Sam has even after he got the Lewis news.

There’s now an opportunity to try something a little different.

Post the video and we can tell you.
