Re: Menzel injures knee again

Geelong Cats ‏@CatsInsider Looks like confirmation that Daniel Menzel has torn ACL in right knee. Incredibly sad news but he will bounce back.

Oh my friggin frig.

Bloody Menz, I was so looking forward to his comeback! Please don't be serious, and hope it isn't so bad he can't play VFL next week!

Re: Menzel injures knee again

I friggin said it at xmas that he was too far ahead in his rehab.
Yep it's the other knee.

But for gods sake there is 20 years of history on how long it takes to come back from an ACL.

Bloody stupid by club and player.

VC every knee response in a different way and people heal at different rates.

Ablett snr for instance did his ACL and was able to finish out a year and Libba was able to get back in the same season he had a full reco.

So if Dan's doctor, the club doctor and the conditioning staff all said Dan was right to go I think we should give them the benefit of the doubt

Devastating. Shattered for him.

Re: Menzel injures knee again

Did he have LARS or a traditional one the first time?

Traditional

Re: Menzel injures knee again

VFL reporter saying it's hist right knee, re-injured. Did he do the left or right originally?

Edit: Right, he has re-injured.

I hope not.

Given the re-failure rate of LARS in AFL that's the last thing he needs.

He's got 2 years on his contract after this, give him heaps of time and the best chance to have a long career after these setbacks.

Josh Walker will be elevated now.

Such a pity it took this for it to happen.

 

[Sleutheren]

Re: Menzel injures knee again

such a shame.

He is looking to be a dynamite player. Geelong seem to have great breeding for tough, aware players. Very rarely do you see a youngster looking nervous in a Geelong strip.

I think its his other knee, thats the jist from AFL.com.

Re: Menzel injures knee again

Not sure if re-injuring his bad knee is good news to be honest.

It's confirmed his right knee, his bad one.

Re: Menzel injures knee again

Geelong Cats ‏@CatsInsider

Not right knee but left knee which hasn't been pre-injured. Still working through this. No confirmation on extent.

Now changing it to the left again!

Nope now the club is saying the other:

Geelong Cats ‏@CatsInsider Not right knee but left knee which hasn't been pre-injured. Still working through this. No confirmation on extent.

Re: Menzel injures knee again

Horrible news if true. All the best for his recovery.

Please tell me I am having a waking nightmare

The club is saying that it was his uninjured knee

[Number 10]

horrible news, all the best to the young bloke. Things like this test the character of the player. He seems to be a very strong kid so will come out on top. Bad luck guys

Re: Menzel injures knee again

Unless your an orthopedic surgeon or a highly qualified physiotherapist don't pretend to be an expert or act as though you have any idea of what you're talking about. The club hires some of the best sports doctors in the country to deal with these injuries, id back their judgement ahead of yours.

I don't give a shit.
The player has no proven to be dumb for pushing himself ahead of schedule.

We have effectively lost a first round pick for 2 years because of utter dumbness.

I am completely pissed off.

 

[cleveland]

Shocking absolutely shocking...........

When did he do his first knee
