Please tell me this is some sick twisted joke...

Only by fate. His mum was in tears and all his teammates were hugging him at the end. It's bad.

On the upside, Jonesy had a cracker.

This makes me very sad.

He's done his ACL, same knee as last time. It just buckled when he was twisting to change direction.

Shattering for such a talented player. Good luck in his rehab and hopefully we still get to see the best of him.

Shades of Luke Darcy. crap. At least its in the second half of the season. Hopefully he'll be right for some glory at the start of next season. All the best Clay, you were banging the door down.

Terrible for Smith, a number of the crowd winced when he went down with the realization what had just occurred. For a youngster with such an appetite to play the game this is a cruel result for him. Let's hope he can have a full recovery.

Not good news about Clay. A big ask to recover from two knee recons, let's hope he is able to do so.

Poor kid can't take a trick . Here's hoping for a complete recovery and hopefully he's used up all of his injury tickets for the remainder of his career.

Is the number 14 cursed? Good to see Jones and Roberts in the best. There's room for them both in the seniors at the moment.

Re: Round 15 - Footscray Bulldogs vs Essendon

My brief thoughts were Higgins a class above this level, Jones jumped at everything, really could have kicked 10. Smith great until the injury. Roberts very assured, would play him ahead of Austin.

Gutted to read about the Smith injury.
