Dave had his surgery this afternoon.
How do I know this? Well my old man went in for a knee arthroscope today and the person sitting next to him being prepared for surgery before him was none other than young Astbury! Doesn't sound like the nurse knew who he was. Clearly not a tiger fan!
Good luck to him! Hope he has a steady recovery & hopefully with a full pre-season we can have him fit and firing next season in defence!

Interesting that he required surgery which doesn't sound too good and suggests that there must have been some damage.
I have also dislocated my patella laterally which tore the fluid sack in my knee. Whilst it didn't require surgery, the amount of fluid in my knee took about 2 months to disappear which meant it was about 5 months before i could play sport again as the muscles just waste away to nothing.
Not a great injury as it is so easy to do it again. The second time i did it I was lucky not to do any ligament damage again and because my fluid sack was already ruptured, i had no swelling. I was able to return to sport in about 2 - 3 weeks.
Hope all goes well for him for next year but it wil be something he's just going to have to constantly manage.

Isn't that what Stratton had?
David astbury gained considerable weight in the off season last year alot more than the usual 1st year player.
With his current knee injury and the restricted running the next 6 months one would think he will hit the weights bigtime & come back in the pre season a monster Ready to tackle the biggest KPF
Could be a blessing in disguise here.

Did anyone notice straight after this happened LRT missing a goal from the goal square??
Yes but there was no replay and nothing during the week so I thought I must have imagined it. Was it on the goal line?
Yeah it was. I didnt think about recording it though. It was nearly as bad as Anthony Rocca's miss at AAMI Stadium in the early 2000's.

Only a 2 month injury. Just a minor hiccup compared to a 12 month full reco
great news, that means he will be ready for the finals.

Still a horrible injury that has the potential to seriously impact on ligament and kneecap stability further down the track. Derailed my junior career at 16.
Sorry to intrude guys, but I just found your user name popcap, so ironic in consideration to this thread title.
Quick recovery to Astbury.
I did my knee three months ago and still have swelling and bruising behind the knee.
No fun.
