Injury Naughton's knee

[ScragCity]

What do we know so far about Naughton's knee? I'm hearing lateral ligament. Have we ruled out ACL? I'm really anxious about it as I'm sure a lot of us are.

I care more about this than the loss. Whatever happened this finals was always going to be a bonus, experience for the pups etc.

This affects our 2020 prospects in a big way. Looked very ACL like unfortunately.

Apparently not an ACL but I’m sure we’ll know more tomorrow

They said "lateral" during the broadcast. LCL hopefully not as serious as ACL

 

[SteelF6]

LCL by the look of it

 

[Brass Dog]

It definitely looked like a varus (lateral) force through the knee. Hopefully nothing more than a lateral collateral ligament.

Care more about the outcome of this than whether we won or not.

How long does it take for a lateral collateral ligament to heal?
. two to four weeks

Recovery times differ depending on the severity of the injury: A minor, or grade 1, LCL tear can take from a few days to a week and a half to heal sufficiently for you to return to normal activities, including sports. A grade 2 tear can take from two to four weeks.

Good serious post Scag.
He seemed in pain which suggests a more lateral injury..fingers crossed,without him we are a bottom four side,our club sucks and I coach senior football in the west.

Our club doesn’t suck actually.

the image at the afl.com.au website is hard to look at. its kind of hyper extended frontally and laterally.

I think our medicos should be experts by now on knees. They deal with 2 a year on average so I hope they're correct in their decision.

 

[footyfan000001]

Bevo saying doesn’t seem like an acl. Fingers crossed peeps.

Think there are some telltale signs that the medical guys are experts on that allow them to pretty much diagnose an ACL straight away. The scan just 100% confirms it and identifies the severity and other damage.

If it is not an ACL I will personally propose to Scrag mid morning Monday

 

[Jeff 1975]

A hospital trip will tell us more

That’s a very dangerous game.

Let’s hope he starts preseason running after Xmas at worst

 

[Golden_6]

I’d take anything for him to be at full health before Christmas. He’s basically the most important individual on our list moving forward, behind Bont.

They do the test right away and it’s usually right. Hopefully the scan doesn’t produce any surprises.

If it’s lateral he might have a delayed start to the preseason.

He depends on speed, leap and lateral movement a bit so would hate to see him get an ACL.

Haha. What’s that from, Big Train?

No, many of the same actors though. It's from a show called Jam, which contains some of the funniest and also most horrifyingly black sketches you're likely to see.
