I thought I read that Brown had his Op last week and was expected to be available for pre season from the start. Non contact you would think
Gibcus might be the only ACL potentially available round 1

Gibcus might be the only ACL potentially available round 1
It would 9-10 months for him which is pretty short. He seems a very driven individual so I hope you are right.
Yze said that Brown had ops on both shoulders. he should be ready for a full pre-season as plenty of post op recovery time.
That has to be a record. Not one we want, either.For Richmond, McKinnon's torn ACL marks the 10th knee reconstruction at the club this year, across the AFL (five), VFL (three) and AFLW (two) programs.
The AFL has a real issue on their hands with ACLs in the AFLW. Have they done anything to address it or are they sticking their heads in the sand?For Richmond, McKinnon's torn ACL marks the 10th knee reconstruction at the club this year, across the AFL (five), VFL (three) and AFLW (two) programs.
It would appear female anatomy around knee structures canāt stand up to the rigours of AFL football.
And yes I understand that men suffer them too but believe the numbers are significantly higher with the woman
Itās a known thing - triple plus frequencies.
The female ACL: Why is it more prone to injury?
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Imagine it needs very specific training - stability to prevent. Not sure I have much confidence how well that is done vs just rolling the dice.
Was talking to a pysio who provides game day support for women's top level soccer and netball and she was saying that ACLs are the most common catastrophic injury she sees on game day. She did say that there were some researchers gathering data on the injury to understand the problem better in women's sport.
Tom Lynch, hamstring - ruled out for the remainder of the season
"(A full pre-season for him is) extremely important. Tom's actually now missed two full pre-seasons, and even on top of that, he's missed two off-seasons. So, he's gone into the last two off-seasons rehabbing, and low level rehab. So, it's quite exciting for us to get Tom healthy at this stage of the year, so he can have a decent break, attack his off-season and do a full pre-season, which will hold him in great stead for next year and be really exciting for our Tigers supporters."
Liam Baker, concussion
"Unfortunately (with when) it happened, the timing's not great because the 12-day concussion protocol will rule him out for two games. He started doing some light exercise today and we anticipate he'll be healthy for the last game against the Suns."
Kane McAuliffe, illness
"Kane's been battling a chest infection the last few weeks. The doctor made a decision last Saturday morning to pull him out of the (VFL) game, he just still wasn't right. He's feeling a little bit better today, so we'll see how he is later in the week. We anticipate he'll be okay to play."
Marlion Pickett, hamstring
"Marlion's moving okay, we'll just see how he is later this week with regards to this weekend, but we're hoping he'll at least play the last game."
Tom Brown, ankle
"'Browny' had surgery on his right shoulder last week, he's pulled up really well. He's also in a moon boot for his syndesmosis. He'll have surgery in about four weeks' time on his other shoulder, but from all reports, he's going really well."
Steely Green, ankle
"Steely's in a moon boot. He's like a Jumping Jack at the moment, he doesn't really know what to do with all his spare time. He's feeling a lot better and he'll be fine for a full pre-season."
Jack Ross and Liam Fawcett, VFL returns
"(They went) really great. Liam just played the half, he's pulled up really well. We'll increase his game time this weekend. 'Rossy' (was) the same, he pulled up quite well and we're looking forward to seeing him play (again) this week."
Campbell Gray, hamstring
"Campbell's going okay. Like we mentioned earlier, he's working a lot on his athletic traits, working really hard with our medical and fitness staff. At this stage, we're probably not going to see him again this year, but he's looking okay for a full pre-season."
Josh Gibcus, knee
"'Gibbo' has turned the corner in the last couple of weeks, his strength has really improved, and we're really hoping to get him running next week."
Mate Colina, back
"Mate had a positive scan yesterday. It showed full healing his bone edema. We're going to consult with a specialist to see what our next move is with him."

One thing for sure in our injury ravaged season is Mate Colina has had plenty of company in the rehab rooms
Mcauliffe didn't return after qtr time.
Not sure why but he is not listed on yesterday's RFC injury report
Article this morn in the Hun that he's been battling a chest infection for a few weeks n was struggling on the weekend.
I believe Mate Colina got a clean scan so he should be good for a pre-season if they keep him
So four years in he'll b starting right back at square one again. Not only trying to build fitness but also trying to figure out how to play footy. Yeah, nah. Thanks but no thanks.
