    Rowe goes off with a knee injury, has treatment, goes back on and his knee collapses.  Now may have an ACL problem.  Bolton is asked about his treatment:

    "No, true professionals our doctors, true professionals," Bolton said.

    A case of he 'doth protest too much'?

    Even The Age reports: 'The early diagnosis by the Blues medical staff was clearly wrong though'.

    Most on DL had doubts about their doctor's professionalism after the Hogan/Rowe and Lewis/Cripps incidents when they let those guys play on with 'slight' injuries and then gave condemning medical reports to the MRP.

    Won't happen but AFL should investigate Carlton Doctors!

    From what happened in their game against us I'm not surprised a duty of care issue is going to blow up in their face.

    Update:  http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/season-over-for-carltons-sam-rowe-with-torn-acl-20170522-gwaccw.html

    Carlton doctors are claiming Rowe did the ACL when he went back on the ground. 

    They may well have ended his career or he sees out his career in the reserves as he will be 30 this year.  A lot to answer for.

    This episode adds to the argument the AFL need to have an independent doctor at every game to tick off the club doctors decisions.  A bit cumbersome maybe but it is the only way to get some integrity back into the sport.

    Also the independent doctor (not club doctors) should be the one that deems the impact of a hit as low/medium/high for MRP purposes.  The MRP then would not have the discretion to change that grading.  Will bring some consistency back into MRP decsions.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.
