Please, stop playing him and get his knee sorted once and for all.
Every fkn game heās reporting knee soreness, under an injury cloud, and not performing.
STOP SELECTING HIM.

I canāt see what could go wrong?
No problem there
He can run it off, relax.
Did the injury update say he basically doesnāt have a PCL, or only a partial one? News to me.

Heās not right.
Have we not learned anything from JOEDANās injury?
Stop playing injured players, they donāt magically get better. They need decent treatment.

Itās weird that this article and the EFC Crow injury report donāt state which knee it is. i.e. right or left. Itās either the knee or his knee.
New knee soreness sends B&F Bomber to specialist
ESSENDON has suffered a fresh injury blow with doubt surrounding the availability of reigning best and fairest winner Devon Smith ahead of its round nine clash with Fremantle.
The hard-tackling forward is off to see a specialist this week after reporting new soreness in the knee that he has had to carefully manage over the past two years.
āDuring the Sydney game, Devon had three sharp episodes in his knee in a different spot to what heād had over the last couple of years with his knee having a PCL deficiency, which means the PCL isnāt present,ā club performance manager Justin Crow said on Tuesday.
āHeās got a new lesion within the knee, so he will be off for a specialist opinion this week and weāll be able to update further once weāve got more direction from the specialist.ā
Smith is set to join a lengthy injury list that includes Orazio Fantasia (quad), Shaun McKernan (hamstring), Mitch Brown (wrist), Martin Gleeson (cheek) and James Stewart (groin).

When you are having to provide defensive pressure for the whole midfield for a full season your kneeās are bound to struggle.

its a pity
I assume they mean a different specialist?
Poor Smith is cooked.
It sounds bad.
I wonder if he should be placed into LTI till seasons end. He hasnāt had an impact
this year & he knows it.
Letās see who else we can play in his role?
We are stuffed without this guys pressure, gonna lose to Blues.
Bottom of the ladder stuff now.
Sheesh, no getting excited about this year
The headline clearly states that it is his ānew kneeā.

WTF is a lesion in the knee?.
And how does not having a PCL affect him? Do players play without a PCL, or is this a first?
And if he doesnāt have a PCL does that mean he canāt injure it? And if thatās the case can all players have their PCL and ACL removed? So many questions.
