NEWS: Andrew Krakouer's Manager Peter Jess recently suggested "he's travelling well at the moment. He is well ahead of where he needs to be in terms of his rehab so far, and he reckons he will be back on the track in late July." | ||||
| ||||
NEWS: Krakouer is now all about his road to recovery. He had some off field personal issues which forced him to take a leave of absence from Collingwood earlier this year, but he is now back and dealing with his recovery from a knee reconstruction. His first priority is football. He wants to be back playing for Collingwood by the end of the year. | ||||
| ||||
NEWS: Krakouer ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament earlier this year, but is said to be in good spirits and working hard in rehabilitation to return as soon as possible. | ||||
| ||||
NEWS: Collingwood believe Krakouer can still perform at the highest level, even returning from a full knee reconstruction. There may be a small form of PR spin here, however, let's not forget before the pre-season drama, Krakouer had an excellent season last year and was especially important in the Grand Final, trying to get his team over the line. | ||||
| ||||
NEWS: That would certainly be a speed recovery from a traditional knee reconstruction. It's suggested that the surgery Krakouer is having is not so intrusive, according to his manager, Peter Jess. | ||||
| ||||
NEWS: Goodnight season. Goodnight career? An unknown at this stage, but at 28 years, and after his pre-season off the field issues recently, you would think he is treading a fine line. | ||||
| ||||
NEWS: A glimpse of hope last week, when he returned from his time away from the club, has all but shattered. In a recent VFL practice match against Geelong, Krakouer has ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in his knee. He is considering LARS surgery which could get him back playing mid-season. | ||||
| ||||
NEWS: A surprise inclusion back into the Magpies training squad. Collingwood finally catch a break, with a recent bombardment of injuries to important pieces. They are now more optimistic Krakouer may still be able to help them chase a 2nd premiership in 3 years. The coaching staff suggested his conditioning is still ok. | ||||
| ||||
NEWS: Most are discussing when Krakouer will return to AFL football. Mick Malthouse is more concerned about how Krakouer is actually travelling and mentioned he may potentially be having some issues with depression. Leon Davis leaving has also affected Krakouer. | ||||
| ||||
NEWS: Collingwood are obviously very keen to have Krakouer back in the team. He was so important across the half forward line for them in 2011. The club has granted him 1 month away from football as they continue to support him. | ||||
| ||||
NEWS: Krakouer walking away from football for 4 weeks on the eve of a new season is far from ideal. This could be the end for the crumbing half forward. According to the Herald Sun he 'is dealing with relationship issues and financial concerns that recently have been rectified, and has lacked motivation.' | ||||
| ||||
NEWS: No details are involved in this statement. It is not discussed how long he will be out for or what the issue is. It is of a personal nature is all that is suggested. | ||||
| ||||
NEWS: Dealing with troublesome injuries over the pre-season, he is far from peak fitness and Nathan Buckley is talking about how well he will be playing in September. It's February! Don't expect much early in the season from Krakouer. | ||||
