Confirmed via twitter. Not an ACL. Praise the Lord (even though I don't believe in that fairytale).

Crows Science and Medical Services Coordinator Steve Saunders provided the following update on Paul Seedsman who suffered a knee injury in the final quarter of last night’s loss to Geelong.
"We were obviously concerned for Paul given the nature of the injury," Saunders said.
"Follow-up examination post game was more encouraging than initial assessments and imaging undertaken today has proved good news for him.
"He has not injured his ACL. Paul sustained significant injury to capsular and bone structures that required MRI to understand these better. We will know more as to time frames for Paul as we assess his clinical progress over the next 5-7 days."

Seems like there is some good news coming, no ACL
Look forward to seeing him back on the park

What is it sounding like 6-8 week injury?
Is this the most positive news we've had since Rory re-signed?
Let me just say YOU EFFIN BEWDY! I'm so glad he messed up a heap of bones and s**t instead...(yeah you know what I mean) Yes, Yes I am because there's a very good chance he'll be right a lot sooner than recovering from an ACL.
Sad isn't it? When a serious injury becomes our good news.
Thank Christ, we finally had some "good" (not disastrous) news on a knee injury. Really happy for Seedsman, still sucks to be out for two months but way better than missing the whole season and a chunk of the preseason as well.

It didn't look like your typical ACL in the first instance, I was shocked when I heard the initial tests last night.
It depends on the person, if he's a quick healer it's probably 4 weeks, its not a good injury to have as it can get complicated but better than a ACL.
How I read it is that the period of recovery is still undetermined. At best it would be a 6-8 weeks recovery, but might need more depending on whether further surgery is needed. Still, it's certainly better news than a torn ACL.

Much better news for Seedsman than the early fears of an ACL. Nobody needs that ****.

It actually reminded me a bit of Walker's injury which is why I was initially worried.
I'm not sure if where you're getting this reference, but most bone bruising issues should heal well with rest. Think all the MMA fighting, boxing, martial arts etc., inevitably there will be bone bruising in each fight or even in training. Yet, these fighters can carry on fighting on a regular basis.
Your trained to hit the softer targets and adviod bone on bone hits and kicks. And you're using your Shin or Elbow forearm, Gloves protect the Hands most times.
But its important to remember is the break between Fights They are not fighting weekly, and Postfight training is lite allowing for a decent rest until you up-tempo.
I thought the same on the night.

Poor Andy Mac, talent to burn but can't get through more than a week a year
You’re sort of agreeing with my original post in a round about way. Bone bruising is very common in most martial arts/boxing matches. With rest, they generally heal and live to fight another day and more matches.
