Injury LeCras - officially out for the year :sad face:

Commiserations Eagle fans.

I know how awful it is to see a star player go down with an ACL. LeCras is quality and absolutely tore us apart last year. Hopefully he recovers well for 2013 as he's one of the most exciting forwards in the league and one of my favourite non-Adelaide players.

I don't get the article? Should I not care that LeCras is out?

It's like saying I shouldn't complain about my life because people in southern Sudan have it worse... Pain is relative.

yep, same here..strange article..its almost like we should feel guilty? -"oh Leccas injured and out for a year, wont be the same for possibly 2 years,but he can afford top shelf medical attention,so who cares?" -a bit callous..but then finishes saying he'll be hard to replace.

i think its more about the journo putting a creative spin on a much covered story,so that he stands out more?

interesting that we're now officially on the slide out of the finals and a possible GF, according to the bookies and 'experts',because of Leccas injury?
(worthy of a thread)

Maybe its not such a bad ACL , seems to be walking and moving around okay from photos in the Paper today ,... no need for crutches just wearing a brace and driving and walking around okay

A completely ruptured ACL is for all intents and purposes, a completely ruptured ACL.

If the swelling is contained quickly, generally you can get about okay pretty quickly in terms of normal walking/forward movement. If he tries to twist or undertake lateral movement with that leg though, he'll go down like a sack of spuds.

Yeah, whilst I agreed with a lot of what the journo said, as with larri, I was wondering why they would write such an article, except to fill space?
