As I've stated before, we're both from the same school and whenever I saw him play I was simply in awe of how good he was, really hope it's nothing too serious so that he can get out on the park this year, he's sure to be a gun.

Update

QuoteHorrible news coming through for Hawthorn hard nut on baller Alex Woodward that he is set to undergo his second knee reconstruction in as many years after leaving the training track today.

Onlookers described the knee as "distressing" to see, and the "yelp, and cry for help" was sickening as Woodward grabbed his knee after it buckled in a training simulation.

The pick 53 from the 2011 draft has had scans and the extent of the damaged will be announced later this afternoon by Hawthorn FC.

Not good, reminds me of Morabito. I really hope he makes a full recovery, he really has a lot of talent.  :(

I think I remember this happening during a inter-school sport game. Could be wrong...

This sucks.  2 promising kids with grafts going bad.  I feel for this kid and I hope he can get it fixed and back in contention to play
