I don't think he's done an ACL.

Not the regular motion you'd expect.

Was in pain but not ACL level pain.

Got up, jumped around, stayed on the ground a bit then walked himself off.

If anything he's done some PCL or even MCL damage. 3-6 weeks maybe?

Tigers' injury crisis deepens with suspected fifth ACL

By Howard Kimber
afl.com.au
2 June 2024


To make matters worse, what looked like being a rare injury-free night went downhill in the worst possible way with promising key forward Mykelti Lefau leaving the ground with a suspected ACL injury after landing awkwardly from a marking contest.

"It doesn't look good," Tigers coach Adem Yze said after the game when asked about the extent of the injury.

"At this stage it does look like he might have hurt his knee, but obviously we'll get the scans on Monday.

"It'll be shattering if it is (an ACL injury) because he's in good form and he's a real talent.

"If it is we'll wrap our arms around him like we have with the other boys that have injured themselves."

The worst things about all these ACLs is it is now going to impact next season as well. It really stuffs up the list long term. As it stands we're already starting next year 5 players unavailable and we're only half way through this year

I love the way this guy was playing.

Crashing packs.

Kneeing blokes in the head.

Not Bolton necessarily but that Cats bloke last night was good.

This hurts more than the others IMO.

Hope it's a pcl.

Gray or Bauer to play now.

He's one tough b_ugger

And he's done one before so I reckon he'd know.

Fingers crossed it's like you say Andyy, PCL or MCL but I'm not confident
