Ryan didn't cope with the experience as well as some, but Simpson dismissed reports he had walked out on the camp.

"If people are struggling we don't take it any further and Liam struggled," Simpson told reporters.


"It was a physical camp. He's pretty fit, he ran well [on Monday], but he didn't handle it too well at the back end so we pulled him out and we took him home.

"Nothing too sinister. From what I heard reported as well [it] was a bit different than what actually happened.

"It's not 1985. We're not here to break these guys. It was to test them physically and he didn't get through it, but that's OK.

"I'm not too stressed about that."



Sensational response by a now master coach. I miss Simmo. Glad to see he's doing well though.

 

[Firestarter]

I'm a little interested about why his time at Adelaide failed...

He was never very good.

Have plagiarised this but got a giggle.



" last night's losing lotto numbers "

I wasn't aware that Essendon announcing their new jersey numbers was such a big deal...

They should be proud. How many " jersey " cows they got now ?

[giantroo]

Wow, s**t luck.

 

[Val Keating]

Poor bugger. Don’t mind him but I hate Carlton so I’m torn

[darko]

I suppose the lone positive is that Carlton can now finish lasr and grab another gun with 1st over all pick ...... oh wait.

 

[kangaspurs]

That's bloody awful. No matter who it is, you don't wish that on any player, but particularly when it's a player that's as good as Docherty as it actually robs the competition of some serious quality.

 

[Groin guru]

Terrible luck. Takes so much to get back from 1 let alone two. All the best to him. * Carlton.

 

[muttley45]

Bad luck for Sam Docherty, both his ACL's done in inocuous circumstances in pre season drills, pretty stiff, is a decent footballer and hope he gets back next year.

 

[Twinkletoes]

The Crows would be licking their lips on the back of the Docherty news. s**t luck for the bloke.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

So they're changing the Bump Rule again and using the Higgins incident as the "test case" for it.

Basically if you elect to bump you get suspended if the person on the end of it gets injured, regardless of how legally or lightly you hit them.

 

[rippersnipper]

Innocuous isn't a good sign. That generally implies that there's some serious structural issues in the knee/upper leg area that might be hard to overcome. Look at Patton for example. This s**t is ****ed up

Just wait until (Insert Brownlow favourite) is under the microscope.

The backpedalling will be at light speed.

There are suggestions he did it on a trampoline and that there was a video on insta showing it.

Has too much of a good rep.

Watch him be the first player suspended.

And also ... obviously ... what a stupid bloody idea.

Dear God please give the AFL ebola for Christmas.

Back to back ACL's means he will never be AA standard again, if he ever gets back on the park in any meaningful way.
