Really sad for Mykelti.

Losing 12 - 18 months when he was looking at a short career anyway is terrible whichever way you look at it.

So disappointing for this guy. Footy really can be cruel.

RFC should have the recovery process down. 5 ACLs in one season is insane.

FMD. Shining light in this dismal year. Who is left to play key forward - Ryan, Kosi??? Should we have gone Jack R as third pick in MSD?

How does Meehan prevent knee injuries?

Exercise Recommendations​

Exercise programmes for knee injury prevention should incorporate multiple types of training including strength, plyometric, and core conditioning. [3] Prevention exercises should be performed for at least 20 minutes multiple times a week and sport specific training should occur for >30 minutes, multiple times per week. [3] Prevention exercises should start in the "pre-season" before the athletic sport commences and should continue throughout the regular season; high compliance with exercise-based knee injury prevention programmes must be ensured, particularly in women athletes. [3]

Clinicians may also use exercise-based neuromuscular training programmes in the late phase of ACL reconstruction rehabilitation for the secondary prevention of ACL injuries. [3]

Exercise-based knee injury prevention programmes should target all young athletes, not just individuals identified through screening as being at high risk for ACL injury, to optimally avoid injuries and reduce cost. [3] Implementation of exercise-based ACL injury prevention programmes should include athletes 12 to 25 years of age involved in sports with a high risk of ACL injury. [3]

More like 9-12. The challenge is to find form quickly and avoid a secondary injury on return.
 
I can’t remember any team in any year copping it like we have.

We are just cursed beyond all belief.
