He's been one of the big improvers for Adelaide so this is bad news for them. I hope he makes a speedy recovery

Yes, full ACL reconstruction needed, poor guy. Had a terrific 2009 and looks to be a very good utility, being able to play almost any position on the ground.

Brodie Martin another young Crow has also undergone an ACL reconstruction a few months ago, so at least he'll have someone doing some rehab with him.

Hidious news.

You hate seeing players suffer serious knee injuries at any time, especially pre season, and to a kid.

We all remember Darce doing it 20 minutes before the Christmas break, devistating.
