Daniel Markworth suspected ACL injury??

[Teflon]

i no the club would be all over it , but did it happen or have any thing to do with that artificial turf stuff they are traning on.

Yes. And they've convinced NFL club to rip it up and replace with Etihad pristine surface next year...

On that, wonder how they are treating it this off season.

I realise Coldplay gave it a work out...hopefully that was the cut off point.

Injuries are never good no matter who is involved.

Nevertheless, the downside of getting rid of all those players people like to refer to as spuds is that any injury news that comes through is going to concern a player we rate.

In regards to Daniel we can only hope it's one of those instances where the news is better than expected.

[Selhurst Saint]

This is terrible news.

Daniel can really play, I was really looking forward to seeing him in the seniors this year.

are they back yet??
itching to know how the fella is going and what the verdict is

[Wrote for Luck]

a training photo shows him with a bandage above a knee so wonder if that's the injury. wishful thinking.

Mariah Carey early Jan, and Kiss Motley, Crue and Thin Lizzy (don't know how without Phil Lynnot) early March, so surface will be in tip top shape. Not forgetting of course the dropin pitches for the Big Bash rubbish.

has it been can'tfirmed?

[Wrote for Luck]

the high altitude flight home has miraculously fixed his knee!

[sainter#4]

I can confirm today after talking to a current player that this is true. Poor Daniel, hope he comes back better then ever in 2014

[matrix]

what?
full acl?

[BigMart]

Biggest asset is speed and agility...... So shame if true

I hope he doesn't hit the gym and get too heavy.... Or it might go again like many others...

[Yaysaints]

Dang

[Sick Nal Danto]

At least we have guys like Lenny and Gwilt who can hopefully help him through this tough period

[Teflon]

so frustrating..........we desperately needed a shining light to step up in midfield and this happens.......footy gods shyte me.

[sainter#4]

what?
full acl?

He told me that Daniel injured himself during training, so it wasn't on a hike etc

He said that Daniel would miss all of 13', but the club were not sure just yet how sever the damage is.

so for all the docters out there, What are the different levels of severity of damage you can do on an acl that has already ruled you out for 12 months?

[spot on]

Any articles confirming this?

[Dr Spaceman]

Lots of people post crap on this forum.

In the absence of any official confirmation, I'm still hoping this is one such instance

[HitTheBoundary]

Has this been posted yet? It's the only "official" thing I've seen - albeit from a journalist.......

Ive been around here since 07, i may not post much but I've never posted rumours and innuendo before.

Straight from a listed players mouth and i let use all know.

so i don't appreciate you implying that I'm "posting crap"

Sorry, but you missed the entire sense of my post.

It was nothing personal about you but more about me living in hope that it's not true.

[bergholt]

How can anyone possibly know that you're not? You know that you're the most trustworthy guy in the world. We have no way of knowing that. Don't get all sooky about it.

No, it won't go again just because you become heavier, that sounds like a myth.

The first 6 months you need to be careful, the graft is strong at the beginning when it is taken, then the graft will slowly "die" and be at its weakest point around 3 months, and then begins to regenerate and become full strength at the 6 month mark. Return to sport from 9 months but typically 12 months and onwards.

That what I learned anyway... as I said, if he has done it, the good thing is he will get a full pre season in next year, and have more time to grow his "confidence" back, rather than trying to get up midway through the season. I'm fairly sure Lenny has said the same thing as well. While is sucks, its just another part of life's journey.

Still waiting on official confirmation though, so haven't given up hope that he's alright.

[Kickit]

Poor guy.
Him and Sam Gilbert must be the only injuries on the list at the moment.

Timing sucks for him. We still don't know if he'll make it or not, but this would have been the year to prove himself. Now he'll have to come back from the injury AND play better than he ever has just to get a look in. ( For example : look at the difference between Gwilt pre-injury and post injury last year - not everyone bounces back like Lenny ).
I hope we arent ruthless like when Attard was injured.

[Bono]

Its not a suspected ACL, its a definite one. Gonski for 2013.
