It's unbelievable isn't it? Particularly for a bloke his size. You'd think that would make recovery from such an injury a bit harder.McRae just declared on SEN that McStay just recently ran at 100% intensity

I don’t think it’s out of the realms of possibility Dan could be back late season/finalsPies coach McRae offers positive injury update on McStay, Howe and Murphy

It's certainly going about as well as possible so far.
One thing's for sure: we have a Dan McStay-size hole in our F50 - and yes, I know we won the GF without him.

You can have a low grade ACL sprain, but regardless, once it is determined it requires a reconstruction, the degree of sprain to the ACL becomes moot.
The hope is always that the damage was to the ACL in isolation, and not the MCL, meniscus, posterolateral corner or articular cartilage. Isolated ACL injuries are generally faster recoveries.

So Docherty's recovery will likely be longer due to him also tearing his meniscus ? Poor bugger.
Weird they put him back on the ground.

Well… it won’t be shorter! ACL/MCL/meniscus is a common combination; tearing just the ACL on it’s own is more the outlier.

Docherty's was the first time I'd heard the combo.

Appreciate your reports Doc.

Yeah those three together are referred to as the “Unhappy Triad”, but the name sounds pretty cringeworthy to me, I try not to use it.

Did you think it strange they put him back on the field?
Could it not have been an ACL tear initially & they made it worse by putting him back out there?

Could have been a minor one which caused the knee to be sore but not overly unstable on the Lachman’s test in the rooms. Still, in most professional sports these days, even a partial tear of the ACL requires a reconstruction. If it was sore, they would have done an MRI Monday and the result would have been the same.

Young ruck Oscar Steene sustained a knock to the face during last Friday afternoon’s VFL practice match against Port Melbourne, which left him with a concussion and a small fracture of the cheekbone. The 20-year-old entered the AFL’s concussion protocols and will progress through the 1 2-step process, ensuring he is symptom free before returning to play. Maybe mention 12-days protocols
Midfielder Tom Mitchell will be available for selection for Thursday’s clash, after managing an ankle complaint that saw him miss last Friday’s Round One clash against the Swans. After an extra week of rest, Mitchell has been training well and returned to top speed, the 30-year-old returns to the available list.
Nathan Kreuger is continuing his recovery from a hamstring injury sustained during the pre-season, returning to 92 percent running speed and becoming involved in non-competitive training drills at the start of the week. The key forward remains on track to return around Round Five.
Harry DeMattia’s recovery from a finger injury is on track, after continuing his running program on the sidelines of training. The 18-year-old marks a key milestone in his recovery from the injury next week as he meets with the surgeon for a review meeting. His training loads are currently high, focusing on his long-term athletic development which has seen him develop size in the gym.
Josh Eyre is four weeks post-surgery on what is a typical 12-week hamstring injury. The tall is completing high volume, slow running, and continue to work through the program with an eye to improve intensity and speed with his expected return to ball work still a number of weeks away.
Nathan Murphy has commenced contact work in a one-on-one setting, as well returning to team training while avoiding high impact, contact. The defender continues to work through his return program with no timeframe set on his return to play.
Key forward Dan McStay is making steady progress in his ACL rehabilitation, reaching a personal best for speed last week. McStay will continue to build the number of running sessions he is completing in the coming weeks, moving from the current two a week to three a week following the Easter Break.

Forward Nathan Kreuger has progressed well in his recovery from a hamstring injury suffered during the pre-season, achieving a number of important rehabilitation milestones over the last number of weeks. The 24-year-old is on track for a return to playing in the week of Round Five should he continue to meet a number of speed markers, a key measure in the recovery of hamstring injuries.
Young Ruck Oscar Steene remains within the 12-stage concussion protocol after a knock to the face suffered during a pre-season VFL practice match. In the same incident he suffered a facial fracture, an injury he has now been cleared of.
The return of Harry DeMattia has been narrowed down to between Rounds Nine and Ten, after the initial timeline of between Rounds Eight and Eleven. After a follow up with the surgeon at the six-week mark of his injury, the first year Magpie is now without his hand brace and can focus in on his rehabilitation which includes ball handling
Initial diagnosis expected DeMattia to be out for twelve weeks, but if he can complete ball handling and grip strength measures over the next two weeks, and return to training after that, it may look like a nine-to-ten-week total recovery time.
Tall Josh Eyre is back running and continues to ramp up his intensity as he recovers from the hamstring injury he sustained during pre-season. After returning to 75% speed, the 21-year-old will focus on the intensity of his running over the coming weeks as he eyes a return between Rounds Eight and Eleven.
Nathan Murphy is continuing to work through his return to play from concussion, with a focus on building confidence. The defender has been able to complete some team training, as well as normal gym work and running loads.
Forward Dan McStay has progressed from two running sessions a week, to three running sessions a week in his return from an ACL Injury. The 28-year-old is making strong progress in gymnastics and agility work, including with his change of direction. His rehabilitation is a criteria-based process, meaning that once McStay meets one marker, he moves onto the next criteria in recovery, with no ceiling placed on his return to play.
