    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.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons are back at the MCG for the second week in a row. They face the Suns off a 15 day break without their prized recruit and former Demon champion Christian Petracca. This will be a massive test for the Demons who will be facing a genuine Premiership contender. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      The text messages started flooding in shortly after quarter time. One read: “Is Melbourne even at the ground?” Moments later, as Carlton’s Elijah Hollands kicked the first goal of the second term, the Blues held a commanding 43-point lead. By then, the Demons’ only score was a behind kicked by Brody Mihocek nearly five minutes into the game. Ironically, Mihocek would also register the last minor score of the day after the game took a dramatic turnaround.
