News Sam Docherty - Another ACL :((

[thylacine60]

I'm almost positive no-one here needs reminding this is not life threatening..........

I just have a vision of Cripps & Doc holding up the Premiership in 2021/22. Make it so

 

[Robbo's my hero]

Football ability aside, the man is all class

I jokingly suggested we send him to Canberra however I like it where he is. Not many can be described as a natural leader but Doc definitely fits the bill. I’m thinking this will have a positive effect on the club despite how badly I feel for him.

 

[Opine]

coaching yes.

The level of buy in, and commitment, to the team cause, by our current captains, makes some of our previous senior leaders in recent years seem detached. I think i love this bloke.

 

[AndyWalkersGirl]

That video just speaks volumes about the kind of person he is.

I also salute you, Sir

Wonder if it’s the same surgeon

I would imagine there's probably 1 or 2 surgeons most AFL clubs would use for this OP (the best in the country), hopefully surgeon is not anti-carlton .... I know when I walked into my surgeons office last year and saw he was a Collingwood man, I didn't let him know I was a Blues supporter... you never know.

 

[I bleed Blue]

I love him. I actually love the man.

my dentist is a ripping bloke but a shocking pies supporter - hard to trust an oral hygienist with a plaque wall........

 

[resolute_blue]

Anyone keen to know more details from the club regarding why/how it happened (given how innocuous it apparently was) and what if anything can or will be done differently this time around to mitigate (as much as possible) the risk of reoccurrence?
I.e training loads, strapping/taping, different rehab approach, anything really?? Super paranoid now for next off season and beyond especially given how cherry ripe he was and how innocuous the incident apparently was....

Jack Kennedy ENT surgeon?

He’s a Collingwood man but a very good surgeon.

It’s underestimated and rarely commented on but what I really like about our club now is the quality of people we have across all areas

Doc is at the top of that list

I think the only thing they could do is hold weekly prayer sessions ....really its just fate and bad luck

I expect he likes seeing anyone with some teeth. No money out of his own mob...........

Good one Soapy ..
If everyone had the attitude of Doc the word" negative " would not exist ..

 

[RedFury]

That video is almost unbelievable 2 days after his second ACL !!

If that was me, I would still be tucked up in a corner in the fetal position humming the tune to Henry 8th.

Doc is one amazing person and one inspirational leader.

Now who suggested he shouldn't remain co-captain ?

 

[windows1]

imagine what example this is setting for our younger players, so so so valuable for any team to have.

He’s like the most certain future AFL coaching great I’ve ever seen.

He’s clearly bright, composed, confident, resilient. He’s obviously a student of the game. These 2
Years are no doubt finishing off his General footy understanding brilliantly.

It’s weird but in a way I can’t feel sorry for him. I see SUCH a bright and wonderful future for this guy.

 

[Blue and Blue]

I believe this is what Bolton has brought. From day one the changing of attitudes began. Been a long predetermined process and Doc is the best evidence yet of what can happen. The green shoots....the washing the dishes....the not being defined by adversity but slowly slowly working towards goals with determined strength of purpose and character.

Plenty of love for Doc
