Sam Docherty ruptures ACL

[BG32]

Good thing they got gifted all those Friday night games

Shocking for the bloke. Got to hate hearing these stories. Still young so will get back to his best you’d think.

 

[The Bomb]

The lengths Carlton go to tank for pick 1.

 

[Big Bryza]

Guess Carlton will need to find someone else to play loose in the backline and stat pad.

Perfect replacement will be Gibbs....oh wait

CARLTON Football Club can confirm defender Sam Docherty has ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament at a pre-season training session on Wednesday.

The 24-year-old will undergo traditional surgery over the coming days before commencing his rehabilitation process.

Head of Football Andrew McKay said the Club would fully support the impressive young defender throughout his recovery.

“As we commence our pre-season campaign, the news of Sam’s injury is incredibly disappointing for everyone but foremost for Sam,” McKay said.

“Sam is a total professional and a resilient young man and we know he will face his rehabilitation process with the utmost dedication.

“As a terrific young leader at our club, Sam will continue to work with the leadership group and assist in the development of our young players both on and off the field.

“While we are incredibly disappointed by the long-term nature of Sam’s injury, it provides an opportunity for our young defenders to continue to train hard over the pre-season to solidify their spot in the backline in Sam’s absence in 2018.”

Melbourne supporters are always the most bitter - why?

 

[grayza2018]

Terrible news, don't like seeing any players cop something like this when pre-season has barely even started

The way they played in the last game with their season on the line probably says a lot

 

[BlueDay]

Terrible midfielder and worse forward. Needs to go back.

Was neat enough your best fwd last game he played for your lot.

 

[Kappa]

Could potentially ruin him for the rest of his career if he loses speed/agility which many players do

 

[Bound For Rory]

Shattered for the bloke, wish him a healthy recovery. Hope he is back to 100% in 2019. [emoji111] [emoji170]

Sad he was going to be pick 1 for my supercoach + captain...

 

[Pacman82]

Pretty sure there's next to nobody on it. Was a few towards the end of the season though.

Yeah I saw it at the end of the season. Good to hear they're all on the mend!

North to offer 1 year contract

 

[Frank Gallagher]

Rotton luck, on the bright side i guess the Blues will be able to fast track a couple of kids in the middle which will hold them in good stead come 2019.

 

[SCRAY72]

Gut wrenching. Wishing him a speedy recovery and successful rehab. Come back strong and fit in 2019.
Good luck to him and the Blues.

Why on earth would you need to ask?

I feel bad for Sam Docherty. He must be feeling really disappointed. Hope he recovers strongly.

 

[Bokonon_]

Injuries like this one are the worst part of the game. He faces test of his body and his character for the next year or so. Best wishes and he seems the type of character to comeback strong.

 

[Elton Johns Wig]

Super player, shattering news for himself, and the Blues.

Hope he comes back better than ever.

 

[Jesse Custer]

At this time of the year.. crap luck

 

[captain cotch 9]

Seems to be the Blues next in line for captain as well.
Id presume that if he had played in 2018 he could of been captain in 2019.
That now seems unlikely.

 

[StonesThrow]

Damn! Unlucky for the bloke and the team.

 

[Dynamics]

Well that sucks.

Hate seeing any player, let alone a gun, succumb to an ACL.

Hope he gets back to playing good footy again, for his sake.
