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.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
