Someone on Y&B is pretty sure they saw him walking around at the end of season fundraiser tonight (not 100% certain though).

If it was a ACL then his spot on the list would be in jeopardy given the timing a month from the end of the season and being out of contract. An full knee reco would wipe out most of 2007 as well.

I think it happened with Rodan and possibly now with McGuane.

Good opportunity for him to him the weights anyway.

That's true Bully. I don't know if it's a criteria in the AFLPA's bargaining agreement but we did do that with Rodan. Possibly with McGuane we might rookie list him which would give him 2 years to get his body right and the weight on.

that is not confirmed...

Post by: mightytiges on August 07, 2006, 03:32:16 PM: Fingers crossed that's the case HB and it's not a ACL. McGuane's not listed in our injury list ??? so maybe they are doing tests today to confirm what's wrong.
Title: Luke McGuane didn't do his ACL
Post by: one-eyed on August 07, 2006, 11:49:19 PM: As mentioned on Club corner, McGuane came off with a bit of a knee injury but it's feeling better today and according to Paul Armstrong he's a chance of playing this week whereas O'Connor said he'll miss 2-3 weeks. Whatever it is McGaune hasn't done his ACL so thank gawd for that!
