Gilchrist out of action for up to 12 months

Moses, thats a good point. I feel they have to be there but then again do they need to be so shiny and slippery? Rather than getting rid of them, they should be coming up with a better material making them rougher in surface texture and not slippery.

EC i don't wish the guy any harm but as an organisation injuries are part of life & now that you are out of the playoff picture it's time to start planning for next season. As a coach i would opt for another point guard.

orbit, that's not very fair. I am one who wanted a replacement PG because I thought Gilchrist was not what the 36ers needed but for heaven's sake, not to see him injured in this way. Even if Adelaide didn't use him next season, its fair to wish him well and hope there will be other opportunities for him. His injury affects not only the 36ers but any other immediate plans he may have had. Hope he recovers well from this injury and is quickly back on the road to playing again.

Hentschel ruptured at least his ACL, lateral collateral ligament and postero-lateral corner. He almost had a knee dislocation in a high impact collision. You could say he is lucky to be walking well, let alone playing AFL football - amazing story and effort in terms of rehab etc.

I'm not sure of the comparison as the details above are a little unclear, but I'm guessing Gilchrist's injury is much worse than the standard ACL injury - they often have associated bone bruising and lateral or medial collateral injury on the MRI- but its not that common that the collateral ligaments require repair.

He may also have a postero-lateral corner injury similar to Hentschel: This is the most likely scenario with repair immediately and delayed ACL reconstruction.

I'm guessing but would think 12 months is a minimum. This injury has stopped many players careers, and many who return are never the same players. At least Hentschel has height on his side, even is he is a little slower. Take away Gilly's speed and pivoting and he wouldn't be the Gilly we know.

Regardless, with 2 major operations coming up I wish him all the best. I hope he proves the stats wrong, and comes back to have a successful pro career, wherever that may be.

That will be more than 12 months...that sounds similar to Trent Henschel from the Crows who missed 2 years

Terrible injury to have. Wish him all the best for a speedy and successful return to action.

Thankfully Fox Sports didn't replay the injury ad nauseum. They showed it once, where Gaze called it a knee clash, then from a different angle, then back to the first angle once Gaze realised he was wrong.

If it was AFL coverage, it would have been played going out to every commercial break, with Kings of Leon playing in the background, then they'd follow Gilchrist to the doctors the next morning and ask him if he was disappointed with the injury. The benefit of being a small time league!

I reckon it's a blessing in disguise for you 6er fans. He was an ok import but there are better around!
