That 1 Brownlow vote ruined his perfect record. We've had 3 100 game, 0 Brownlow vote players. Two left and had Brownlow votes elsewhere.

Morris and Hargrave both played over 200 games for the Dogs and got 1 each. Hopefully Jordan Roughead doesn't ruin his 138 game streak by picking up a vote at Collingwood.

Looking to return by mid-year as it's a partial tear and not a rupture. Same as last year but in his opposite knee.

What a man.

I've seriously only heard of 2 of those types of injuries where the ACL is only partially torn. On both occasions it was him, at nearly the exact same point in time two years in a row. Except in two different knees.

Gia did one in ‘08 in the preseason and got up for round one.

Fascinating that it’s happened twice to one bloke in such a short space of time. Can’t help but think it’s his body screaming please stop but at least me may get a farewell tour.

Shit news , not many players you could say this about but I can hardly remember him ever getting beaten and yet everyone liked him. Something about the way he played just resonated with the ideals we all grew up admiring
This.
He is proof that you don’t have to be violent or overtly aggressive on-field to be a great backline player. He just plays the ball. The guy has never been in a scuffle let alone a fight onfield unless he was trying to break one up.
