Gee he is a quality human being, fingers crossed he has a smooth rehab and we get to see the best of him in 2020 and beyond.

As I am going through acl rehab myself, I asked my physio about recurrent ACL tears like EVW. He does some consulting for an AFL club here.
He just said that the data isn't there yet. Everybody's great strengthens at a different rate and no one will ever get ethics clearance to test the breaking point of a great at any given point in time. All we know is that it's not at full strength until 24 months after the reconstruction.
Plus there's always the higher risk of doing your other ACL due to movement patterns that become a new normal during recovery.
With regard to EVW, he believes that all they can do is reconstruct and then take a more conservative approach with return dates. He needs to pump some weights on the legs and hit some yoga.
He’s done the ACL once. The previous 2 were PCLs.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I don’t believe EVW has had recurrent ACL injuries.
Had a long term PCL and then ACL in round 1 2019.

Someone already corrected, but the point still stands. Both ligaments responsible for knee stability in different directions.
PCL’s are totally different, they are 95% of the time an impact injury rather than a twist injury
Forgotten man.
Seen Ed on a couple of NMFC vids at Thommo's retirement and with the kids doing a anti-gambling advertising speel and he looks good.
With Thommo retired becomes very important to us and reckon he will come up with the goods in 2020. Small glimpses have shown how good he can be.
One positive going forward.
I have done both ACL once pcl twice both twisting injuries. The second PCL was as simply as going for a mark and landing awkwardly. But like you say the general rule with a PCL is impact.PCL’s are totally different, they are 95% of the time an impact injury rather than a twist injury
Most important player to come back from injury 2020 now Scooter gone.
Yep.......He and hopefully Jacobs are both keys.Most important player to come back from injury 2020 now Scooter gone.
EVW, Jacobs and Daw. If they can return, and return to their best form, the ceiling for the team is so much higher.Yep.......He and hopefully Jacobs are both keys.
3 spots. You'd have 7 defenders in the 22 at least, with one from the bench.Even with Thompson retiring, it’s going to be tight for spots in the backline next year. Tarrant, jasper, Marley and alley are locks. That leaves 2 spots for daw, durdin, McKay, evw, McDonald, McMillan & Ahern. Daw back to his 2018 form is a lock and I think we need Ahern’s skill set as part of the back six. We need to get games into one of mckay or durdin too. Evw has a battle on his hands to win his spot back.

WTF?3 spots. You'd have 7 defenders in the 22 at least, with one from the bench.
I'd like to see Jmac and McDonald in contention for wing/mids spots if everyone is fit and firing and there is no room down back.
Did i stutter?WTF?
