I'll be praying it's only a hyper-extension.

Ive been praying to every known god that its a hyper-extension.
Im as shatted as I was post 08 GF (this is when it was "confirmed" as an ACL). God I hope its not.....

In my top 4 of youngesters in our game atm, Cotchin dangerfield menzel and fyfe, not in any order.

Feel for the kid but from his interviews it's obvious he is a standout bloke. He'll get through this guys.
 
I am not a medico
What is the best case possible?
How long does an ACL take to recover from?
What did he d to his other knee last year?
Senario cesnarios
 
Haven't had this feeling in my stomach since the 08 Grand Final

Best case scenario is it's a hyperextension and 2-3 week injury.

Most likely scenario at this point is it's a ACL which is minimum (excluding LARS) 7 month before he'd be playing again and realisticly 12 months before he's close to his best (which may not be what it was).
 
Just dreadful. Balmy was saying on 774 some players just dont have the knees to play AFL & Menzel looks like one of those, but because hes young the reconstructions will actually strengthen his legs and he should come back stronger again. Small consolation for the kid I suppose, but any positive is a good positive, he is my favourite player. Rotten bad luck.

As a pie fan reminds me of Nathan Brown doing his other kneecap after coming back from a knee reconstruction, completely devastating for everyone involved... Wish him a speedy recovery :)
 
Re: Menzel injures knee again

Starting to sound like Max Bailey mk2. Very sad to see a young and obviously talented footballer maligned by injuries.
 
Real talented player this is horrible news. An ACL on the other knee on your return game is just cruel.

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

I think that's the real worry there as there was no impact or huge twisting motion. So that structurally there is an issue that will always be there

Nah the skinny guy said that in a weird way its a good thing, cause the operation makes it stronger/ fixes the problem.
 
Horrible news, my heart goes out to the young bloke. I hope he makes a full recovery, and goes on to have a successful career. I'm seriously sick of all these knee injuries.:(
