Could be a strain not a full tear or rupture
Iām not we shouldnāt be trading Draper regardless
2 weeks ago Xavier Lindsay was thought to have done his ACL. Was out there tonight.

ACL are notorious for being able to at least move around a bit on, what happened post injury has basically no relevance and there are very specific tests for this kind of thing that are very rarely wrong tbh

You can usually deduce if itās an ACL tear pretty quickly by doing whatās called the Lachmanās test which a physio will do on the sideline. The fact that Brad has articulated in the way he did that an ACL is what they fear, then Iād say with about 98% confidence heās done his ACL. Which sucks.

Damn ACL
There goes our bargaining chip against Draper. Regardless, Bryan is the future

Thank you - I thought I must have had the wrong player because I had read heād done his ACL & didnāt hear anything since. When I heard his name tonight I started trying to work out which young player it was then.
Draper aināt going anywhere, he alluded to the fact

He said anything but that. āSaid heās enjoy winning the gameā
Of course. Just when he started to look like making his mark as our number one ruck. Shattering
He said his management are in discussions with Essendon about his contract
So who would be our ruckman in 2026?
Can you hurt your ACL and it not need a full knee reconstruction?
First it was Edwards and now its Bryanā¦ ā ā ā ā
