Obviously they would know by now if it’s an acl or not. They can tell by a simple test. My wife is a sports physio so I hear alot of stuff lol. Whatever the outcome is, pies defence doesn’t rely on 1 guy and it seems like it’s a system based defence. Next man up.

Depends what other damage as done. Would of had all those anterior drawer tests done on my knees multiple times. From different people and each time they were inconclusive and was sent for an MRI.

You ice most knee ligament injuries to reduce swelling, including ruptured ACLs.

A bad hyper can rupture your ACL, even partially.

I don’t think that one looked that bad though. Good physios do the Lachman test and can normally tell if there’s any rupture. I don’t think the club thinks it’s worst case at all. But only scans will confirm before they announce anything possibly Monday.

He will still have damage of some sort, be it a PCL sprain or bone bruising, meniscus damage… we’re not out of the woods, but may have dodged an injury that would rob us of a year of Darcy’s career.

Even that'd be a massive dodged bullet. Years of being a Pies supporter have taught me not get my hopes up. But I musn't have learned that lesson well because here I am hoping anyway.

Fly text me this morning.
They have ruled out;
Pregnancy, Plague, Tourettes (although there were symptoms directly after the injury with Darcy uttering several obscenities.) and Crones disease.

If this were an episode of House he'd have lupus.
 
My gut feeling is that he is fine with the acl and other ligament damage but the hyper-extension has caused bruising and swelling to the knee. Last year I hyper-extended my knee, the pain was immediate, the knee felt unstable and weak, I couldn't put much weight on it. The knee swelled as well and I thought for sure I had done an acl. But the knee was structurally fine and a few weeks of rehab got me back to normal. Also, given how positive he looked after the game is a good sign, the medics would know if he had an acl issue and Darcy would have been distraught if that was the news. I think he will still miss 2 or 3 weeks best case though.

AFL Collingwood v Gold Coast: Darcy Moore suffers knee injury late in Pies’ win over Suns​

The best-case scenario for Collingwood star Darcy Moore has been revealed, with the Pies premiership credentials questioned in the wake of the key big man’s sickening injury.

AFL​


Collingwood star Darcy Moore faces a best-case scenario of around a month on the sidelines with bone bruising as the Pies await scan results clear ligament damage this week.
Star defender Moore hyperextended his knee in the frantic last minutes of the club’s sixth consecutive victory as the Pies stunned Gold Coast with a match-winning burst.
The Pies are confident Moore has dodged ACL damage but the nature of hyperextensions means only scans can clear him of ligament damage.
Respected sports medico Peter Larkins told the Herald Sun on Sunday if Moore has only bone bruising he could miss three or four weeks with knee capsule damage.
But Larkins said the Pies would be sweating on those scan results to fully rule out any damage to the anterior or posterior cruciate ligament.

The Pies flew back from the Gold Coast on Sunday afternoon with Moore expected to have scans on Sunday afternoon or Monday morning.
Larkins said the angle of the hyperextension would decide whether there was ligament damage as well as an issue with Moore’s knee capsule.
“You can do the ACL or PCL when you have a hyperextension like that. There is always capsule damage with a hyperextension,” he said.
“Clubs always tell porkies about waiting for scans when they do know if there is ACL damage but the hyperextension is a tricky one.
“An ACL can feel loose but it can be hard to know if there is ACL or PCL damage. It’s one of the rare injuries where the doctors aren’t quite sure.
“Even a mild hyperextension can be 3-4 weeks with bone bruising. With a capsule sprain you can play with it strapped up but the scans will be really important for this one.”

Moore is a pivotal member of the Pies defence.

Without him, the Pies’ title hopes are being questioned.
Former St Kilda and Fremantle coach Ross Lyon said if Moore was out for the season he would doubt they could win the flag.
“I was a bit emotional when I saw it. I love everything he stands for,” Lyon told Triple M.
“I don’t know him at all but it puts it back into what you have experienced with your own players. I love what the Pies have done, but it would make it incredibly difficult for them from here. He is the lynchpin for them.”
North Melbourne legend Wayne Carey said he still doubted the Pies’ chances despite their six-match run.
“He is that important that if he didn’t play last night Collingwood don’t win,” he said.
“He will be a huge loss and I know they have won six in a row but four are by less than a kick. So they are teetering. I am unconvinced and without Moore I think it makes it really difficult.”

The Pies have only a handful of players on their injury list with Brodie Grundy a month away with PCL damage and Nathan Kreuger (shoulder), Reef McInnes (shoulder) and Tom Wilson (back) out for the season.
The Pies 10-5 win-loss record has given them hope of pushing into the top four in a remarkable turnaround from their 17th position last year.
Nick Daicos has roared back into overwhelming favouritism for the Rising Star, now $1.30 with TAB after a superb 37-possession display.
Jordan De Goey’s return to the side after a Bali adventure and a week off for personal issues saw him make little impact in a fumbly 11-possession display but he will be better for the run leading into the Roos clash.
Coach Craig McRae was thrilled with his capacity to move forward after being held accountable by Nick Holman and still find a way to make an impact.
The Pies will account for hapless North Melbourne next week then have Adelaide away, Essendon at the MCG and Port Adelaide (MCG) in a chance to push those top four hopes.

Post reported.
Unnecessary use of a picture of Jon Ralph!
 
The last 3 rounds are when we will really need Moore back. We can survive the next few without him. But last 3 of geel, syd and Carlton. Geeze… their tall timber will tear us a new one without him. Madge on Hawkins, buddy or McKay 🙃
