Yes, well, I sort of understand the pessimism, having done an ACL myself (and the pop is unmistakable), but I would be seriously, hugely surprised if the Doctors and physios in 2017 were mistaken in clearing him of structural damage and telling him it's not an ACL.
Let's hope they're right.
Roo's knee. Is this the end?

Re: Roo's knee. Is this the end?
Yes, scans will reveal the truth
But having done one... mine 'popped'
I went back on into a forward pocket but couldn't turn so went to hospital
In hospital it felt fine, I thought maybe a week or two as it was swelling
12 months
Never got stability back and lost agility

But I think it is realistic to expect that the champ is in pretty good hands.

Remember Lenny's? Played on and only discovered it during the following week. I'm not as hopeful as some.
I started with nothing and I've got most of it left!

Re: Roo's knee. Is this the end?
His right knee is rooted anyway.
Good chance it is curtains if it needs to be opened up at all.
Shitty way to end it.

Can we blame it on that fat singer wrecking the surface last week?

Re: Roo's knee. Is this the end?
I also fear or expect the worst.
Not uncommon for strong quads to stabilise the knee in these situations, but the minute there is weight bearing and any change of direction it will be gone.
The pop agonising pain and then lack of pain is classic ACL, will be hoping I am greatly wrong but Lenny managed to play with one.
The result last night was one thing but the thought of Roo finishing like that is gut wrenching.

Re: Roo's knee. Is this the end?
I wish no ill on Rooey but if he doesn't play again St Kilda will be better for it.
HE WILL NOT BE AROUND FOR OUR NEXT FLAG TILT SO IT'S BETTER WE GET USED TO PLAYING WITHOUT HIM SOONER RATHER THAN LATER!
The same goes for Joey, Dempster and Gilbert.

Re: Roo's knee. Is this the end?
Sorry to be a skeptic and I'm not qualified in any way, but as Junior said above, storng muscles can make the knee seem stable. A friend of mine's doctor was convinced his ACL was fine, but scans showed later that it had ruptured.magnifisaint wrote:He said confirmed.shrodes wrote:Thanks jax.

Jaxons has the scan been done already?
