Obviously the best thing to do would be for Centrals to get themselves a club doctor and not rely on others, but you would think/hope if there was anything serious the opposition club doctor would help. I wouldn't expect much for a cut though.
Perhaps Jarrod could have grabbed his wallet and pulled out his power membership - may have been enough to get him patched up.

I think you make a great point here - and not just at SANFL level, but especially at lower levels where the culture of voluntary (or peppercorn) work that used to be present seems to be slowly dying away.

Agreed. I'd walk over hot coals for Sturt and it's players. There is such a high reliance on physio students, nowadays, to supplement the training staff. They're gone as soon as their degrees are finished. Some stay for a while, but, in general there is a high turnover. I remember when I first started there were fourteen trainers and they'd all been there for 10 years plus - so much experience!

When I started at the Bays in 1990 most in the league training squad had been doing it for at least 10 years. I think the elast experinced one was 5 years) and they had plenty about 12. Junior head trainer had been doing it for 10 years along with his side kick ( who still helps out with juniors). We also had three Drs who rotated each weekend between home junior games and two at each league game.
Despite studying Sports Science and with my trainers quals I had to wait four years before I could graduate to the league squad. In the old days you ahd to earn your stripes.....
With all clubs looking for volunteers anyone who wants to help out is automatically with the league and reserves.
Got to say it's always good to catch up with SANFL legends like Knowledge everytime the Bays play Sturt.
