Campo on 5aa reckons about 8 weeks recovery

That’s enough or I might have to get my lawyer involved

 

[footy4ever]

Surely doesn't play finals if it's around 8 weeks out. Would need a game or two or more to get match fitness and regain touch.

This is a massive blow to our campaign. But I guess we've won games without him.

Depends how deep into final we go. might miss the first week

If we made a GF or Prelim you'd think he would play.

No

Still wouldn't have any game time before stepping straight into a final, but he's such a great player for us it might be worth the risk.

 

[MrBarry]

No

Even if he's 80% fit, theres no way he is missing a GF. He's one of our A Graders/match winners.

Akermanis played a GF for Brisbane on one leg.

Could potentially run the gauntlet and play him as the sub rather than the full game

 

[Danger in Texas]

It look like what Darcy had done and everyone thought he did an ACL.

Darcy was out for 7 weeks, btw

Being back for finals feels realistic enough

To much of a risk, more failures than successes, he’s not Akka yet

 

[MrBarry]

If the only issue is match fitness by that point, he's playing.

nah I think he'd have time for at least one SANFL final

 

[cleanhands]

nah I think he'd have time for at least one SANFL final

So miss 8 weeks then straight in to a GF

 

[relapse]

You diagnosed an ACL, that's enough for today I think dr relapse.

Actually I never 100% said it was an acl.

I said that normally those manual structure tests (Lachman Test) are reasonably accurate and the fact that that he's been sent for scans indicates that they most likely detected an issue with the knee stability and we should possibly prepare for the worst.

I can’t imagine any type of serious hyper extension is going to escape a scan. Even if they are confident in their test.

But I’m not a doctor

If only we had one on the board...

No, they didn't detect anything and wanted to make double sure.

[StonesThrow]

Aren't we one game from 9th spot with a fairly hard run home? If we lose a bit of form we could still miss finals.

Could be a handy sub if underdone.

This week aside, we play the tougher sides at home which helps
