Very sorry for Mal, but look to see him back later this season.
He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)
Terrible news.
Didn't I read that Nathan Brown forsook LARS for the traditional op?
The man who laughs has not yet heard the terrible news

Poor bugger.
Leaves a big hole in rebounding but as already stated it leaves open a great opportunity for someone to step up and claim a spot in the seniors.
I can't see it being Everitt, they don't seem to be similar footballers to me. I would like to see the Rooster give it a shot, he doesn't have the piercing kick (yet) but his tenacity would be a big plus. Sumner does not have the size to play the role Eski's did, even though Nick was seen as an attacking hb he still had to play on medium sized forwards occassionally.
B: Smith, Grundy, Mattner
HB: Shaw, Teddy, Rohan
with a resting ruckman filling a hole as required?

terrible news for Mal, absolutely shocking. Its going to leave a bit hole in our backline, but we will just have to soldier on. Had a really good year last year and was looking forward to him playing a big role in our season. However, all going well we will see him before the end of the season and hopefully he can come back form wise quicker this time now he has been through it before.
I think I'm more devastated than he is.
I've got tears.
Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.
That's footy I guess.
If there's a positive it does give someone else a chance to step up and fill the void left. This is a strong group and I'm confident they can do just that.

A lot of players that have the conventional surgery do the same knee again within a couple of years, so why not have the LARS op again.
I know it is the same knee he had the LARS operation on last time but does anyone remember if it's the same one he had his original surgery on, if so the conventional operation didn't work any better.
I worked for a couple of years at Melbourne Football club in the mid eighties as a trainer and I always remember the doctor at the time saying that since players have been having their ankles taped there hasn't been as many ankle injuries but it has increased knee injuries cause the first thing that gives way now is your knee.
Another thing he use to say was that most ankle injuries were 4-6 weeks recovery while knees were 12 months.
