Is it just me, or does the official AFL injury page go to a dead link?
When you click the 'Injury List' on this page, it goes nowhere https://www.afl.com.au/matches/injury-list

At this stage it looks like there is no official injury list. I've seen at least some clubs publish them but definitely not all.

Hope AFL aren't doing away with an official injury list.

How can you rule out an ACL without scans?

You'll see the team doctors do the "ACL test", where they straighten their leg and have the hand under/cupping the knee and basically pull it straight. It's not foolproof but it's probably about 95% accurate, sadly from my personal experience it was 100% accurate :LOL:

Generally the only time it's wrong is if there is catastrophic damage where you can't differentiate what's busted and the ones with only a minor tear that ends up being enough that you need the surgery still, the partial rupture (someone like Kawhi Leonard is an example of these, no idea how his test went though obviously).

Mine didn't pick it up but that's because I tore my MCL and only "strained" the ACL. Though the MCL is now fine but I just about cry if my knee goes sideways so I'm not convinced the "strain" was that accurate...

Bit the same, except the doc told me I was good to go. I played again with a torn ACL. 😬

Just watch the Berry incident - around 2:30 left in the game and you can see below it looks like a right shoulder and possible dislocation looking at the way he was holding it getting up - limited vision of him on the bench after the knock but you can see in the rooms afterwards he has no real evident issues with his arm around a player and no ice or support. If it had popped and they got it straight back in that's good and bad - does worry me esecially if he needs to play inside to score as that shoulder will be lucky to see the season out.
