Season ends for Pettiferrichmondfc.com.au

For the second successive year, a knee injury has prematurely ended Kayne Pettifer’s season.
Pettifer underwent surgery yesterday to repair a fractured knee cap, which he sustained while playing for Coburg in the VFL against Casey at Casey Fields last Saturday.
It was almost a year to the day that Pettifer had his 2008 season cut short after severely damaging the same knee while playing for Coburg. He subsequently underwent a full knee reconstruction.
The latest setback is unrelated to last year’s injury and he suffered no other structural or ligament damage to the knee. He is expected to make a full recovery.
