How do players in other sports come back from ACLs in so much less time?

Ings did his what 6-7 months ago?
I remeber RG3 and Adrian Peterson in the NFL came back after only a few months.

None did Lars.

Takes AFL the full 12. Are we just extra cautious?
because AFL is the bestest sport in teh world!!111! our players run like 4000 kms and tackle with our hands. youse soccer pansies trip over a blade of grass and roll around like youse are shot!!11! haha.

SOCCAH! that's what its called you dickheads. Not football. That is OUR FOOTY!!1!!! Anyway if you dont want it called SOCCAH why are you the SOCCEROOS???

Wow thanks for such great insight. Appreciate your feedback from someone who had a genuine question.
No need to be a W Anchor about it.

I think technically it's about the 9-10 month mark, it's just that by the time that's passed the AFL season is over.
E.g. Eric Mackenzie did his knee in the first game of the pre-season for us last year, and almost made it back in time for the grand final.

But I think there is an extra degree of caution to it as well. I think it might have been David Schwarz who tried to come back too early from an ACL and redid it again, so people have always erred on caution since.

wan poo lost. makes the loss to swansea harder to swallow. IF we won we'd be 2 pts behind.

but yeah, IF is the word.
I think it's the Soton and Newcastle dropped points when we were 2 goals up that would haunt us, if those two were wins, we'd have 4th if we win the remaining games
