A partially torn ACL is forever a partially torn ACL, there is no rehab or surgery that is ever going to fix that. The ACL doesn’t have any blood flow so it doesn’t fix itself no matter how much time it is given.
The fact that he has now fully torn that ACL is the best thing that can happen, as now he can actually have it reconstructed.
And should heal as well as any other.
Wasn't Dodee's ACL earlier this year only a partial tear but he opted for another full reconstruction?

You are correct. That is what many think was the safe option for Lewis too, but the Hawks and Mitch took the risk.

It happened Tuesday 26/3/24. He should be close to playing preseason games. If not sometime before round 3 in 2025

Tom Doedee's AFL comeback has been cruelly denied after the Brisbane Lions recruit tore his anterior cruciate ligament for a third time ahead of his side's grand final rematch with Collingwood.

The Adelaide pick-up was set to return from his second ACL rupture in Thursday's high-stakes Gabba clash - a timely addition given injuries to fellow backs Keidean Coleman and Conor McKenna.

The 27-year-old will now join them on the sidelines and possibly require surgery after an "innocuous" incident in the final moments of Tuesday's training session.

Scans confirmed a partial tear in his right ACL, the same one he ruptured last season while playing for the Crows.

That’s because his was an already reconstructed ACL.
Bit different when it is an already a fake ACL as opposed to your own ligament.
 
Hear me out

Great time to invest in our academy and back our youth. Tom Gillett 200cm developing ruck forward. Has the size we are looking for and could have a year like Morris. Looked comfortable at VFL level.
We should look to the Academy. Gillet or Gallop or Richardson could all develop into quality forward targets. Henry Smith is also another option. I also could see Cam Rayner as a full forward in the Dunstall mould. Why do posters think other teams cast offs or injury plagued players with average real life records are better options..? We don't have the draft capital to get too fancy or dream.

Why wouldn’t we pick up one of the academy talls and also some mature backup? Lane’s been delisted, Joe retired so we need 2 to cover vacancies.

Can’t expect a late pick tall to come in and play a role. McMorris is a massive outlier.

I was very worried by Smith's pretty terrible senior appearances this year, but I will say he looked a lot better in the reserves, especially in the ruck, and was a pretty good kick for goal. If the club thinks he'll come on then I trust their judgement over mine any day.

I don't see any urgent need to bring in another tall forward -- let's shake it up a bit, keep the oppo guessing and rotate a bunch of smalls and medium-sized players through there. We have the talent.

Terrible? I thought his debut against Sydney was bad but then was decent in his last couple. Logan Morris is an outlier when it comes to talls debuting. Oscar barely did anything in his first games.
 
I come in peace. The itk that posted on our board is very connected and doesn't post very often but when he does, it's normally true. Whether a deal gets done of not Is a different story, but there would definitely be alot of interest.

I know this is the silly season where every team overrate their own and underrate everyone else's players. But mitch Lewis when fit is a seriously good player. He's had his injury issues but he was looking every bit a top 5 kpf in 2023 before he hurt his knee , and the acl this year might be the time off his body has needed to get everything right. He would be a great pick up if a deal can get done , and for the right price we might let him go if he's been offered a big contract, it seems we have a good relationship and mutual respect at the trade table.
 
The other reason I don't see Hawthorn trading Lewis is their key forward stocks aren't that much better than ours sans Daniher. Dear who's a promising young forward, Chol who has question marks over his flakiness, Lewis who's coming off an ACL and a couple of project types.

Dear having a great first year would make Hawthorn more open but yeah I can see price being the main issue.

He did get slightly better but was timid in the forward line, passing off unexpectedly to surprised-looking unprepared teammates, when he should have been kicking for goal from a very gettable position. He looked scared to kick the ball. It stood out really badly, and I don't think I was the only one to notice.

Issue is he can’t string a full season together and has never kicked more than 40 goals and is coming off an ACL. I had a two minute look at the Hawks board and I think it’s one of those ones, purely from a fan perspective, that Hawks fans and Lions fans are very far apart on his worth.

Yeah, it is an impossible comparison for guys like Smith and Lloyd being compared to the greatest of all time Logan 🐐 Morris.

Smith was not ready this year, but still showed a strong ability to contest. Think ideal world he'd be a 2026 best 22 player, but Joe out and knowing he has the spot might be what helps fast track him next year.

Your medical staff is very good they would back themselves to get him right ? Daniher came over playing a total of 15 or so games over his last 3 seasons with the bombers. His best is very very good , and why you're keen on him. I won't put a value on him but it would have to work for us, to do a deal on contracted player that is about to hit his prime.
