#5 Devon Smith

FFS, huge loss. Say 8 week injury give or take 3 cause of Essendons phkn spin on it, he comes back r18 and very raw. We should write him off and come back 2020.

If he is out for the year can we pick two up in the Mid Season draft?

I can think of another couple who might get injured this week. That will 4 newies.

what is this, he needs a full knee reco within 3 years? Logic says do it with this op he needs now!?

What on earth did we buy here???

This guy played an epic 2018 for us.

Knee needs a reco, must have played through some serious pain, tough pri*k.

Season for him is gone, get it right and a full tilt in 2020.

We knew what we were buying.

obviously nobody watched 7 news.

they can ‘reveal’ that smith requires (separate issue) a knee reconstruction “within 3 years”.

Now this is injury has occurred, they will need to assess and perhaps it is logical they do both at once as he will be out a while - this season is basically a write-off.

Oh right, if they said it on channel 7 then it must be true. :roll_eyes:

Tom Browne said it, so it’s probably a guess.

Put a line through him and get him cherry ripe for 2020

I’d suggest 2020 would be optimistic…

Ah well we got 1 exceptional season out of him.

They will go do it all now and get him back for R7 next year.

Dr Tom Browne reporting that after several examinations by him from long range shots using C7 cameras that he can confirm player will need a knee reconstruction sometime in the next 3 years. Is Sam Lane QC assisting him?

His time machine is getting more precise than to used to be.

Browne’s assertions that Smith will require a knee reco in the next 3 years are pretty specific and would be surprised if he made it up.

He is also saying that we new Smith would require surgery when we traded for him.

If he doesn’t have a PCL after degeneration which has been noted then a reconstruction would seem logical conclusion

I’m just not sure it’s as long a time frame for recovery as an ACL

No problem if so. He’s been hampered and it feels like 2019 is a bit of a write off anyway. Get him cherry ripe for 2020
