Rip career. Damn shame

Who needs big bodied midfielders anyway

You don't need big bodied midfielders or a dominant key forward to win a premiership.

Somehow this is Dodoro's fault though yeah?

 

[Ambrosia]

Has done an ACL before if I recall correctly.

 

[MightyDons4]

Pretty sure his left knee is the one he's done his ACL twice in already. Not looking good.

Irresponsible of Dodoro to tackle him like that

 

[Maxabillions]

Someone apparently in the know saying it's not an ACL. No idea if it's a legit source.

Too many eggs and not enough baskets

Poor young fella! Would of left for training this morning all motivated and excited but in a split second now has a genuine setback to deal with.

I'm going to stay positive and hope it's just a tweak, or at the worst a medial strain and he is back on track fast.

I'm full steam ahead on pretending it most definitely is a legit source though.

Cleared of acl club is saying

"Meanwhile, midfielder Mitch Hibberd has been cleared of serious damage to his knee after suffering a heavy knock to the area at training on Thursday morning. "

Phew....

 

[fairbump_playon]

Just a slight hitch for Mitch

 

[Beerfish]

I can't believe we were updated so quickly.

 

[JayDon]

Tom Cutler/Jacob Townsend in the meantime?
Here's a chance boys.

Good luck in your recovery Hibbo. Not only a hard working footballer, but also a young bloke still level headed enough to stop and have a kick of the footy with my little boy who didn't realise that when they are coming off at half time, they still have a half to play. Has plenty of street cred in my house.

Suggests the club medico's did the ACL test which is usually right around 95%of the time.

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Any update on this?

Meniscus. 6 weeks.

Meniscus. 6 weeks.

Good to see him get a lucky break for once.
