I'm sure most of us have seen a lot of ACL injuries and then afterwards as they are getting off the ground. One of the big signs of a fully ruptured ACL is lack of stability in the knee even moving forwards with a slight swing in the leg. I didn't see that so looked more medial but i'm no doctor.
A lot of us are sure to remember when Woosha did his ACL and watched him run off the field you would remember he was running but his leg was all over the place. Here's hoping for the best, the biggest thing is he is young and whilst that is the after showing it didn't look bad or like Culley's where the front of the knee basically collapses. (tends to be much more serious)
The biggest thing with Elijah here if it is a potential ACL is you really hope doesn't affect his burst ability around stoppage. He is a smart footballer though and reads the play very well so even if it is a major ACL he will still have enough athleticism to be a very strong stoppage player just maybe not the burst player we've seen.
Looking at where he was pointing I agree it did look medial but also where he was pointing and now this really worries me is there there's potential low down hamstring tendon damage. I'm no doctor and with knees it's so hard to tell but I must be getting to the point where i've seen somewhere between 200-300 ACL injuries, s**t im getting that old maybe even more.
Really wish him all the best and hope it's just a minor medial strain.

Ochre
Stop the Steal!
I mean, for it to be an ACL, either the media team would have to be lying or the medical team would need to be incompetent and what are the odds of that!
I'm just going to assume amputation until I next see him play.

You think he'll play again?
He couldn’t have made it up could he?Where did you get that wrong information?

The PTSD acquired from our injury run the last few years is going to take a long time to go away
And I’m not just talking supporters but the club as well - it showed in the way we trained last preseason (limited contact work especially pre-Christmas)

Being an Eagles supporters is like living in a second tier English farce.
No outcome too absurd, acutely frustrating.

We all know Simpson made a pact with the footy gods when we were 5 goals down in 2018, we just have to ride it out.
Sex life, etc...
I'm predicting a late withdrawal, he will then be a test for the derby (only to not come up) and the week after he is sent for season ending knee surgery.
Not sure it's a good thing that the relationship between the club and the media has broken down so badly.

Being in the UK it's hard to keep on top of things. Seena lot to bazzo outs. Body management or he has been playing poorly?
Bit of both.
A difficult year for him with his mother passing.
Should be playing as a third tall but because of all the injuries to the preferred kpd’s even H Edwards he’s been given some big roles like playing on Tex Walker which are beyond where his development is at.
I think he will be a good player in time but he has been given a break for his own good.

Thanks mate. He looked pretty handy in 2022 so hopefully just a phase. I had forgotten about his mum as well so that definitely will play a part in it all.

This is some real 4D chess from the club, telling the players to feign injury so they can discredit the media. I love it.
They aren’t lying guys.
He did train fully and it’s not his knee.
He broke his ankle in the player’s race jogging off after training.
