Chris Knights does his ACL at training [update]

[Yeahright]

Will stand corrected but wasn't the dislocation and the subsequent serious ligament damage last year to his good knee?

And sorry and I'm no medical expert but I don't understand how dislocating a kneecap is a result of being injury prone, it was freak injury.

I know he had injury probs in Adelaide but weren't they predominantly soft tissue? This knee injury was not a soft tissue injury

I thought he'd had injuries on both legs? Could argue it doesn't matter what knee because the fact is he has injured both now.

If I remember correctly his dislocation was a result of ligament/tendon tear (depends what was actually damaged as I can't remember). This means it was a soft tissue injury as soft tissue refers to tendon, ligaments, muscles, synovial membranes etc. Pretty much anything that isn't bone. Not sure where this notion of a patella dislocation not being a soft tissue injury has come from as I've heard it a couple of times. In all seriousness I would like to hear what YBB has to say about it because generally his opinion is one I take on board.

Agree I'd like to hear YBB opinion on this as well.

Also that's where we differ in what we've heard. I heard at a pre-match function last year after he dislocated his knee that the dislocation had caused major ligament & tendon damage (similar to Astbury's a few years back). Hence, my comment about this knee injury not being soft tissue.

As I said will stand corrected only going by what I was told last year

Regardless if it was soft tissue, hard tissue, pliable tissue or  kleenex tissue, it's about time he be given his favourite meal and taken down to the back paddock.

I think the point is though is this has all resulted in yet another soft tissue injury as his soft tissue (ligaments/tendon) has been inured

[WilliamPowell]

Reckon the club medicos didn't help with his rehab from the knee problems this year, the floating bone issue

Only real soft tissue injury he has had in 2014 is the quad he did on Saturday 

[DCrane]

Any injury, freak or otherwise, contributes to someone being 'injury prone'.

Too true

Regardless if it was soft tissue, hard tissue, pliable tissue or  kleenex tissue, it's about time he be given his favourite meal and taken down to the back paddock.

 

I've got no problem with the club spending a year on the rookie wage to see if we can get something out of our initial 2 year investment, whether he'd take that or not is a different story.

The 2014 season has come to an unfortunate end for Chris Knights, who suffered a quad injury in the VFL last Saturday.

Surely they'll delist him now

Is clearly good enough if he can stand up.

[Yeahright]
