Injury Riewoldt Watch

[Speck]

I think this deserves its own thread.

Please be okay Rooey. Please please please.

Just saw replay on AFL app. Doesn't look good for the champ. Would be a cruel injury if a re-co at this stage of his career. Round 1 and all as well

Looked horrible at first, but seeing as he got up and moved it probably eliminates the ACL.

Perhaps hyperextension but complete uneducated guess

It doesn't rule it out, unfortunately.

Could almost be seen the other way.

Hayes played the rest of a game (did it quite early I remember) which worries me

 

[LeverPuller]

Hope he's okay guys

Unlike AFL players with top private cover, people that rupture their ACL in the public system have to wait 12months+ to get it repaired. You can walk with a ruptured ACL.

Roo's a tough bastard, his initial reaction was not good.

 

[MadEyeEmmy]

Hope he's ok. Absolute legend of the game.

I did my PCL when i unscrewed my knee skiing.
Was walking fine until i stepped sideways and fell down.
Stupidly let it heal naturally , then had to have all the cartilage i damaged in the process fixed.

Not at all. The great man Sir Leonard Hayes played with an ACL. Praying for Roo, so heartbreaking.

Good to see

 

[Keg on legs]

Good early sign. Hurry up and get that scan saints

 

[lethalsaints]

Speechless

Epworth's normally on standby when AFL games are on.

Good luck to Roo, hopefully it's minor

 

[Jordie_tackles]

Hope it's all good for nick

 

[35Saints35]

Missed the game had party. Absolutely gutted . Hope it's ok

 

[Louis Slungpue]

I didn't see what happened but it better be bloody minor would be gutted if we've seen him for the last time

 

[Moorabbin Ghost]

Docs cautiously optimistic it's not ACL but it didn't look good. Even best case scenario he's out for an extended period. Hyperextension and ligament stretching is never a great thing, even if nothing tears.

 

[Flandersss]

Only reasoning for the hyper extension is the way the injury occurred.

Didn't look like a acl type injury IMHO

Look at Roo's and then Murphy's etc. it looked exactly like an ACL. Looking hopefully like the big fella has dodged a bullet though.

Fair point.

Praying for hyper extension/bone bruising

Nick saying he heard a loud pop

Riewoldt sounded confident.
