Player Watch #27: Aaron Nietschke- Unlucky Number 3

[CWaffles]

How's Aaron tracking this pre season?

Seeing this post bumped again had me thinking the worst.

Sorry man. Never want that.
Someone should change the thread title again.
He was a gun junior. Hope he gets a shot at it this year.

Good point, done. Thanks.

Would love to see him get a debut at the ‘G in front of a huge crowd at some stage this year, would be a great day

Nietschke ready to re-start his career

Aaron Nietschke is ready to return from a double ACL blow

Welp.

Cruel blow as Nietschke suffers third ACL

Aaron Nietschke has sustained a third ACL injury in as many seasons

[Gysberts2Bate]

Gut wrenching the only appropriate description

 

[LeverPuller]

That’s career you’d say. Very few come back from 3 ACLs, let alone with zero footy behind them.

 

[Dory_77]

Very s**t news to hear. Poor bugger.

 

[dylan93]

Kid can't catch a break. Will be interesting to see what the Dees do with him end of year.

 

[markm106]

Absolutely devastating for the kid.

 

[ImissFrosty]

Well that's depressing

 

[Blackas87]

Shattering for the young lad. Best of luck on his recovery

 

[CWaffles]

That’s a shame, plenty of people around the club rate the kid highly.

hope that’s not he end of his career but 3 knees would be very hard to get back from.

Mentally it'd be very hard. Article a couple of weeks ago on the club site had him talking about how hard it is to get through the mental barriers and get confidence back, even if physically everything is going well. Might be the end of his time at the AFL, sadly

 

[Crusty Demon]

Yep, feel for him. Footy can be a bloody cruel game.

Might be harsh, but surely he will be delisted. Maybe a spot at Casey if he manages or wants to come back. I was saying last season we should have probably delisted him after his second ACL. Harsh on the kid. Will be interesting to see if this guarantees a spot on the list for Farmer now. You'd think he would be more of a chance now, even though unfortunate circumstances.

 

[Topkent]

Delist the kid, offer him some help with the medical facilities and a spot at Casey.
That's just devastating.
Kobe Farmer probably a look in now.

 

[Tulip]

Poor *er.

Topkent has it right. Give him a season at Casey if he wants it, and make sure we look after his rehab. Suppose Farmer and Daw will both get spots now.
