VFL 2018: Isaac Conway ruptures ACL just two weeks after sister Sophie suffers the same injury

Reported by Paul Amy
TWO weeks ago Isaac “Izzy’’ Conway was consoling his sister Sophie after she suffered an ACL injury while training with Richmond’s VFL Women’s team.
She was to make her debut for the Tigers the following day.
Now the 19-year-old Brisbane player must sit out the 2019 AFL W season.
ISAAC CONWAY DEDICATES SEASON TO LATE MOTHER
Last Sunday the fickle finger of fortune dealt the Conways another blow when powerful Port Melbourne onballer Izzy sustained the same knee injury, cutting short what was shaping as a best-and-fairest year for the Borough.
Conway hobbled off the ground in the second quarter against Box Hill Hawks at the City Oval. Scans the following day confirmed he had ruptured the ACL in his left knee.

Reported by Paul Amy.
MARK Weideman played for Coburg. On Saturday his son Sam played against the Burgers — and played stylishly and superbly.
As his father watched on, rugged up at a cold and wet Casey Fields ground, the third-year Melbourne forward booted 7.0 for the Casey Demons, leading the home team to a emphatic win, 16.12 (108) to 4.7 (31).
Dees senior coach Simon Goodwin was at the match and his eye was presumably taken by Weideman’s sure marking and certain kicking.
It was his best return at the VFL.

IT has been booted off its ground for the third time season, but Port Melbourne Football Club is likely to get some good news about North Port Oval next week.
Port Phillip Council this afternoon confirmed it was trying to bring forward the planned reconstruction of the playing surface to this year.
If funding for the multimillion-dollar project is approved at a meeting on June 20 the works will start at the end of the season.
