anybody heard 'owt?

[valemadness]

He had an operation last weekend. Other than that, no

[Mr Mercury]

Was it same knee? Cruciate ligament or other knee injury val?

[valemadness]

Not sure will ask him on twitter

[dalekpete]

The early indication was same knee but different injury.

[birdholmer]

genuinely feel sorry for the guy ,having suffered personally myself with bad knees,
there is only so much hammer they can take when it,s time to say no more
he as lived part of every young mans to play professional football,
probably time to take stock on life and persue other dreams whilst still young enough
australian football is growing so maybe a coaching role with kids/yongsters maybe a way forward for downesy
best of luck in future and thanks for the memories

Sadly his CFC playing career is coming to an end.

Given John Croot's position & finances allowing, I'd offer Aaron a full time senior role in the Community Trust. His personality, attitude and level headed approach would be ideally suited to developing & reinforcing our community links as well as promoting the CFC / B2NET brand.

I'm not sure what plans Aaron has, but he's a good bloke and would make a good addition to the Community Trust.

He'll bounce back playing next season and McGhee is the man to get him back on course.All the best Donsie you a credit to this club I hope your career isn't finished just yet.

I'd love to see Aaron in a non-playing capacity at the club upon his retirement from the game (whenever that will be)

Not retired, just mindful of his options away from CFC. I'd be amazed if a move to Bristol is up for consideration.

[Tips M'Gee]

He walloped enough buffet down him so he's certainly not lost his appetite!

[Heavy_Soul]

Asked him today how his injury was. He said he's ok and everything seems to be going the right way

You have to be realistic though. " very bad injuries on the same knee will have taken its toll. Be that a yard of oace or slow on the turn etc. A role like you suggested with playing part time for Alfreton/Matlock/Buxton etc might be the best.
