Even at half time, the Channel 7 bloke, Tim (?), reported that it wasn't an ACL. Hopefully he can get up and about soon.

He would be an idiot to continue playing.

Panthers' web site wrote:South Adelaide first gamer Lewis Makepeace will consult with a specialist after scans revealed he had ruptured his ACL.

Makepeace injured his knee in the second quarter when he went to block an Eagles player and took no further part in the game.

Forward Jackson McMahon will also see a specialist after scans showed that his knee injury was a result of a dislocation when he got tangled with his opponent in a marking contest also in the second quarter. He is likely to require surgery with his time period on the sidelines yet to be determined.

Roland Ah Chee’s hamstring injury will sideline him between two to four weeks.

In better news for the Panthers Todd McKay and Pat Kerin should resume this week from hamstring injuries and longer term injured Scott Taylor, Sam Tharaldsen and Bryce Damin are all a chance for their first games of the season at reserves level. Forwards Lachie Boyd and Darcy Hourigan should return the following week.

Was thinking the same. Looked as though he lost his footing on a sandy patch of the oval.

In previous years Noarlunga has been in very good condition.

Do the Umpires walk around the oval, prior to the start, and decide if it is playable (up to SANFL standard) or not?

If a player gets, not only a career ending injury but, an injury that ends their work career as well, is there any re-dress to the SANFL and in particularly to the umpires, who allowed the game to take place?

I realise there will be insurance in place to cover loss of earnings, medical, etc, but could the player's insurers then chase after the umpires who allowed the game to take place or alternatively their insurers?

I think you will find that the 2 clubs playing that day sign off on the ground conditions before any game is played that day which is part of the insurance policy
