VC - you make Suzi Olsen look like Stephen Hawking. The speed of recovery on Menz right knee impacts the structural integrity of his left knee how?

i have chronic right ankle issues, my body has compensated for this and now my left knee and groins are buggered. different physio's have confirmed this is a result of the right ankle.

Info only second hand, but could only be hyper extended.

Source: a friend who was with menzel's ex at the footy. Had apparently been in txt contact with Menz. They don't know extent though. Said to stop listening to stories.

Can't confirm accuracy, just passing on what I was told.

****ing ACL's. Loved watching this kid play nearly as much as fyfe.

Clubs will be very cautious about drafting Troy Menzel now . Three ACL's between them.

A few posters on the freo board me included have been questioning freo's super cautious handling of Mora's ACL, I can now understand why ACL's are handled with extreme caution.
 
That's horrible news.

Alkanphel, might be better for him to look at starting the pre season with the main group, rather than play this year. Will be better long term if he concentrates on recovery, and gets a pre season into him, rather than rush himself back, get 3-4 games and knock himself about a bit.
edit: That's if it's an ACL. Which is worst possible scenario.

I had similar issues after an ACL,I'm amazed the way Roughead has come back into the Hawks lineup after the Achilles and not missed a beat.Credit to him and his medical and fitness team.

Good on you champ!

As much about the good (hopeful) news as much as passing on your info

He has signed on with Geelong for another 2 years.
The club and supporters will support him as best we can.
Going to be hard on him, big time.

Listing to him commentating on KRock was great. He has a good feel for the game that is for sure.

We ALL feel gutted.
 
Balme not sounding to confident that it isn't anything apart from a ACL

@GerardWhateley
Neil Balme: We were salivating over Menzel the way he was playing. Now we'll have to wait. It's his other knee. Not optimistic

The website says he was tackled, that changes things. Just terrible luck if thats the case.

He was not tackled, just twisted while hand balling, could and probably would have happened if he'd waited til he was 21. Just a structural anomaly in the notch of his knee is my hunch. ACL injury virtually confirmed. Shattering for him and us his followers. June 2013

That's true, but it's ridiculous to assume that professional doctors and physios would not take this into account when assessing a player's progress, monitoring the success of the recovery of other footballers (and athletes), who had ACL injuries ruptures, as well as the same specific type of rupture as Menzel.

They would have dedicated a great deal of time to strengthening the left leg, before giving him the all clear to start full training, let alone a VFL game. Does anyone seriously doubt that?
 
Really dampened my mood. One of my favorite AFL players. Hope the medico's have jumped the gun and that the knee has not been as damaged as they have suspected.

Yeah same, but just thinking long term he should look at as much of a full pre season as possible.

Shit news.:thumbsd:
 
we can all speculate what damage hes done, but the truth is we dont know shit until the medical report comes back. Fingers are corssed for you Menz.
 
:thumbsd::thumbsd::(

Very sad for the young bloke. One of my favourite players outside of the Swans and no one should have to deal with 2 ACL injuries within 9 months. Terrible luck and was looking forward to seeing him on the football field again. No doubt he will come back next year and play some good footy. All the best to him.
