[AB_Blue]

Shittest news ever



Ever


Get well soon mate

Getting Mullet now seems like a masterstroke

 

[JuddgementDay]

I'm gutted, sad news - But, all the best for your recovery Sam...

We have a midfield without Gibbs and now Backline without Doc - two prime movers 2017
Wow - talk about RESET!
Opportunities galore for the young men to cement their spots - step right up, step right up and take your chances with both hands

 

[Salt Lake Cities]

Few drinks should hopefully help

Pretty glass half empty about this.

The fact this seems to have been a non impact acl is a real worry.

At least we know that Docherty is the kind of guy to do his rehab right.

 

[GPW1]

Try Jack as a defender.

Nah, doesn't have the pedigree.

Interested as to why? An acl is an acl no?

 

[Blueboys7]

Shattered for Doc. If anyone can come back bigger and better than ever it's definitely him. He is the heart and soul of this playing group now and moving forward the next captain IMO.

Big test for a young group next season without two of our best players from last season in Doc and Gibbs. With that comes opportunity though and hopefully the likes of Kennedy, SPS, Williamson ect. can step up and fill that void.

Could well be the making of a few players, you never know.

 

[Blue DNA]

Gut wrenching. Watching Docherty develop his trade has been one of the highlights of this rebuild. I will miss him in 2018 but look forward to his successful return.

 

[Blubagger71]

Tough day at the office for Doc. Best wishes to you and your family for a speedy, effective recovery. Now your leadership example becomes crucial in a myriad of ways, not the least of which is the fabulous model of strength you will demonstrate through the recovery period. AA in 2019!

 

[Blubagger71]

Depth test. Who steps up? Tailor made for Willo, Mullet or McReadie...

 

[LanceRomance]

No.

Non impact suggests a structural issue

Impact is impact..

 

[Drexl 31]

No.

Non impact suggests a structural issue

Impact is impact..

I see. So this was done in a non contact situation I assume.

 

[BlueRenaissance]

Brutal loss for Carlton. Doch 2018, Cripps 2017, Murphy the year before. Always key players for us.

Best of luck doch on your recovery.

Apparently

 

[Bluechip66]

Just got home from work & my young bloke tells me doc done his acl....
Thought he was just geeing me up..
FMD...why can’t we cop a friggin break......

 

[gbatman]

That's footy, opportunity for others to stand up. Wonder if this means Boekhorst is closer to being re-rookied. Makes Mullett's recruiting more important.

 

[FairKouta]

ruined my summer now.
Hopefully bb and co have a game plan to counter this loss.

 

[ESKIE]

Spose they have time to plan ahead

 

[Blue_Fusion]

Win.
Win.

What the hell is the matter with you? How can one of our most influential players missing all of 2018 become a win-win situation?

Yes, what a Godsend...

 

[Neku]

No.

Non impact suggests a structural issue

Impact is impact..

So what does this suggest? Longer recovery time? A bigger chance of reoccurance?

 

[Blues177]

wishing you a speedy recovery Doc.

 

[LanceRomance]

Not a doctor or a physio so can't really say but the innocuous ones tend to be the worst

 

[Blues177]

This sucks, its not even December. It should have been Collingwood not us!

No, don't want this to happen to any club.
