News Sam Docherty - Another ACL :((

[Cliffords Blues]

Gutted for Sam
Club will press on, but a second knee could have negative impact on Sam.
Sam is a true champion, so should came back OK.
Another year helping the team on the bench game day

 

[Sharks On A Plane]

Interested to know... didn't our Menzel have it? wonder how it's holding up? What about Liberatore Senior he did it as well as a Sydney player years ago. I relise the op only holds on for a number of years but if it can be effective for Doc's prime???

If the LARS ruptures again during his rehab then I'm not even sure it would add much additional time into his recovery in terms of 2020 games missed, given it's happened towards the start of preseason... I think they might look at it.

 

[PP34]

Worst part about this for me isn’t the fact he’s out a year. It’s that it’s his second one on the same knee.

Seriously worry now he’s going to end up ruined by injury.

This is a cruel blow for Carlton but a cruel blow for footy as a whole. Gun player and great to watch.

I hope I’m wrong and Doc can come back 100% from this.

**** I hope others step up. I couldn’t handle another 2018 season.

 

[jooce8891]

Maybe he can look at how that Collingwood player got back quick ready for finals... did some heavy training before the op... then came back without issues.

goldsack, although iirc it was only a partial tear??

 

[HBF]

Gutted.
Poor Sam.

 

[Jabba73]

Injury Gods can get ****ed. ****ing campaigners.

Go annoy a different club ffs.

 

[Mr_Plow]

"All options are currently being considered before a timeline for Docherty’s recovery can be determined."

I wonder if they will roll the dice on LARS?

LARS him please, worth the risk. He'll likely rupture another graft anyways.

 

[BlueView]

Devastating news, hope he’s ok.
We push on.

 

[ESKIE]

Oh ****

I feel like crying

 

[AndyWalkersGirl]

So devastated for Doc. Can’t believe it.
Does anyone know how this happened?

Our ****ing medicos all need to piss off. If he was training full load when he had any inkling of not being 100% , I’ll be furious with the club.

Wishing him well, hurry up and get back to us Doc.

 

[Blue and Blue]

Dean Rice Mk ll
Went on to win a flag did Dean.
Footy can be cruel though.

 

[T2B_]

**** this ****ing shit. Some people can't catch a break.

 

[Blue Razor]

Terrible news for Doc.

all options considered

just to reminder all the blues fan Goldsack was able to come back in 6 months and play. There is some hope he could play this year.

In all fairness to our poorly perceived medicos... we've been pretty lucky with ACL's. Kreuzer would be the last one we really had and he's come back alright, as did Waite and Fisher. Can't recall too many ACL's we've been unfortunate to have prior to Sam.

 

[RAPPA]

Bloody hell - Alex Johnson brought his bad luck over ffs

What are you even talking about? He could have played last year, has been training for months.

Once an ACL goes they can be ticking time bombs but yeah, be furious with the club.

 

[bigdog43]

Can we see the club communicate something,anything,to us in short time.

He did his ACL this morning, I'm not sure how you could possibly be disappointed with the time frame in which it took to release the news. They'd have to get him off the track, get him comfortable, call his wife and allow him time to try and digest the news before the Herald Sun got a sniff that he'd even hurt his knee. Then you have to actually have the MRI, which there wouldn't have been a rush on. Bizarre that you're annoyed about this.

 

[Feva]

Absolutely shattered - we've had by far the worse injury run of any team in the last 18-24 months when you weigh up players we've had out and the importance to our team.

Really concerned for Doc now - which players have come back from 2 knees to be elite players again?

 

[PP34]

Don't be so ridiculous
..He'll be back with bells on..

I hope so. But nothing is guaranteed when you do ACLs. They are not the career death sentence they once were.

But time and time again we see players who do them once continue to have issues long term.

The club medicos would know pretty quickly... ACL test pretty much would've given them the answer. MRI is just to make what is known 100% and to see the severity of it.

 

[Wickzki]

Fire Silvagni and whoever else handed Adelaide the first pick in the 2019 AFL Draft. Was a stupid move at the time and even more stupid now.

Get well soon Doc.

 

[majesticseacapt]

LARS him please, worth the risk. He'll likely rupture another graft anyways.

From my limited knowledge, LARS is only possible when there's still some ACL left.

I agree. if it's a possiblity, the medical team will consider it. I think it would be the best thing mentality for Doc, 2 years of rehab is allot of for anyone to go through.

Can guarantee you right now a bloke who has done the same ACL twice is not going to be rushed back to play in 6 months.

That’s got to be one of the most ridiculous suggestions.

 

[norway blue]

Gutted for Sam and Carlton. Like Hulk said someone has to stand up.
