April 24, 2015 8:53 PMRICHMOND debutant Nathan Drummond's initiation to AFL football has been soured by a suspected serious knee injury.
Late in the second quarter at the MCG on Friday night, Drummond courageously went back with the flight of the ball in a marking contest against oncoming Melbourne skipper Nathan Jones and landed awkwardly on his right leg.
It is feared he suffered a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament – a potential season-ending injury.
Play was halted for several minutes as the 20-year-old was stretchered from the field. To that stage the pacy Drummond had collected four kicks and a handball.
Drummond, who hails from Shepparton and represented the Murray Bushrangers in the TAC Cup under-18 competition, was the No. 52 pick in last year's NAB AFL Draft.
Damien Hardwick said after the game that it was heartbreaking to lose Drummond – who was comforted by his teammates in the rooms post-match – to what is likely to be a season-ending anterior cruciate ligament injury.
"We're not quite sure of the extent of it, but it doesn't look that great at the moment," the coach said.
