Very sad news but AJ has now done the ACL in the other knee during the Reserves trial game.
Just showed footage on Fox Footy and he just jumped up in the air for a spoil and it gave way when he came down.

Nothing like a good light bulb moment.
Absolute disaster for AJ.... I believe he is off contract this year as well is he not? To me, despite the disgraceful and pathetic loss, this is by far the greatest disaster of the day.
Get well soon AJ - we are all thinking of you!
"You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."
It is in fact the same knee. He has to have yet another op. Devastating news, that's this season gone.

Horrific. Feel so sorry for the guy.
He ate more cheese, than time allowed
I can't imagine how he must be feeling.
I'm gutted enough.
The medical team will have to work out wether yesterdays ACL was a freak accident, that could have happened to anyone who through themselves into the same contest, or was systematic of a knee that is struggling to hold together!
Can anyone with experience be able to provide any insights?
Sadly there are precedents for repeated failures from ACL ops. From AFL report on AJ:
"First injuring his knee in last year's NAB Cup campaign, Johnson's initial traditional reconstruction failed, leading him to undergo the LARS procedure in August.
But that has also failed, putting the 22-year-old in a desperately sad club of players to repeatedly suffer the dreaded injury which includes Geelong's Daniel Menzel (four times) and Fremantle's Anthony Morabito (three)."
No same knee. Longmire talks about it (very glumly as you would expect) in his video interview after the match.
Bugger!
AJ get fixed up, do the hard work and we will see you soon.
Hope for a speedy recovery!
