Bloody hell

Contracted for next year Pabs. Let’s not bury him just yet

 

[danielnajdek]

He is gone as a AFL footballer unfortunately. Has done both knees which is very hard to come back from.

 

[jmac70]

Shocking news.
Hope you keep pushing Reefer, miracles can happen

 

[Rorzza]

Yes, terrible!

 

[TradeDraft]

Got to Feel for Reef

 

[IlovethePies]

I''m gutted for him.
Imagine, on the cusp of making a return, and then this.
Another year of pain, frustration, endless repetitions for small gains...all over again...
The club will back him in to present again next year for senior selection.

Best give him a call and tell him not to bother with rehab given he’s gone

territory, but no good. Puts an unfortunate amount of pressure on 2027 for him

I remember when Moore was constantly injured, hopefully he fights his way through this and comes back strong.

Just read Alex Johnson's record, and Reef's is nothing approaching that.

 

[BillyElliott]

Whilst people are writing Reef off.. remember Gawn has also done 2 ACL's.

 

[OEP MKII]

He is gone as a AFL footballer unfortunately. Has done both knees which is very hard to come back from.

If he'd done the same knee twice, I'd say that statement had more of a chance at being correct, but it's an ACL for each knee. Recovery for the second will be no different than the first one. It's not that uncommon to do the other ACL given over the preceding months the other knee has had a increased workload, be it consciously or subconsciously.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

****ing awful news for Reef.

 

[Stuart1966]

Paul Licuria had 2 knee reconstructions before he came to Collingwood and he turned out to be a very good player

 

[gouki88]

I don’t think anybody on the planet has as dysfunctional a pair of ACLs as Alex

 

[BillyElliott]

Exactly. Plenty of players have.

 

[Bramax]

Last time Reef did his ACL the Pies extended his contract. I hope his rehab goes well and we see play next year and beyond.

 

[LuckyLee]

Just horrible news.

One of my sons suffered two ACL’s playing footy in the space of 14 months. It’s awful to watch as a parent and just shattering for the player coz second time around they are acutely aware of just how much of a marathon lies ahead to get back.

Best wishes to Reef. It would be very understandable if he decides that it isn’t worth running the risk of a third.

Love for Reef to do same as Moore but Moore's where his Hammy and not his Knee like Reef

 

[Equatic Doom]

Matt Scharenberg couldn’t really get himself right after the knee injuries too

 

[FromTheBoundaryLine]

Shocking news.
