Re: Confirmed Trades, FS, FA, delistings etc for all AFL Clubs 2015
I recall his knee issue started with an off season incident at a music festival close to 2 years ago (Start of 2014).
And then in addition to this incident, reported in the latter part (post season) of 2014:
He had a very solid 2013 campaign and my reckoning is that he has struggled to follow up this form since his initial injury.

DOCKERS ruckman Zac Clarke has been ruled out of pre-season training after injuring his knee at a music festival.
The club confirmed last night the 23-year-old could miss the next eight weeks with an injury to his right posterior cruciate ligament after the incident at The Falls Music festival at Lorne.
General manager of football operations Chris Bond said: "At this stage Zac is not expected to require surgery and will undergo a normal rehabilitation program for the injury."
The club did not confirm exactly how the injury occurred.

FREMANTLE ruckman Zac Clarke has suffered a major injury setback.
Clarke has had surgery to repair the medial ligaments in his right knee and is unlikely to be back into full training until early next year.
Clarke could even miss early games next season in a blow that ruled out any chance of Fremantle trading back-up big man Jonathon Griffin despite interest from rival clubs.
It has emerged that the athletic Clarke played much of last season under duress with his nagging knee troubles before heading for surgery after the finals.
Clarke, 24, also bravely carried fractured ribs and a punctured lung into the Dockers’ home semi-final loss to Port Adelaide after copping a heavy knock against Sydney a week earlier.
His rate of recovery in an extensive rehabilitation program over summer will determine whether Clarke is sidelined for the opening rounds of next year’s home-and-away campaign.
He originally damaged his knee in a controversial off-season incident at a music festival on New Year’s Eve last December when on leave in his home state of Victoria.
