Terrible news, there looks like there is a bit of an injury curse down at the Pies.

talk about highs and lows for this guy;

drafted by richmond
is delisted by richmond
punches some guy
goes to jail
leaves jails
dominates wafl GF and gets BOG with one of the best games ever played(champion data wise)
drated by collingwood
plays in GF with collingwood and takes mark of the year
off field issues and does his ACL(probably career over)

Another big setback for a guy who overcame all odds to not only return to AFL level last season but to set the AFL on fire at one of the strongest clubs in the competition. It says a lot about Krakouer's character and maturity after he served his time in prison for punching some guy whilst out on the town.

You've gotta feel for the guy. Though if he could make it to AFL level after a stint in jail and not playing at a professional level for a couple of years it wouldn't surprise me if Krakouer plays next year and improves on what he achieved in 2011.

If he has gone through so much... he aint retiring!

4INAROW · February 25, 2012, 07:37:15 PM

it'll be a matter of how much and if he wants it. alot of work to come back from such an injury, i'm sure the club will give him every opportunity, just whether he wants it enough.

Is he going to consider Lars ?

I heard he was, as people reckon he has 3-4 years left in the AFL, and LARS lasts for 5 years at high intenstity from what I heard.

any link or extra info on this?

also i dont think it's career over, how old is he?

Ziplock · February 26, 2012, 02:39:33 PM

it's common knowledge? racked up something ridiculous like 300 SC and 280 DT points or something.

no dont have a source but as the others said fairly common knowledge 300+ super coach.

i think his career is as good as over. 29 years old this year, considering LARS. If he hasn't played his last game vert very unlikely he will get back to his best.
