Hope rowe and thomas are ok, but the knee buckling looked bad.
With a young side, in the wet, 2 men down, over in the west, we were ALWAYS going to struggle to run out the game.
re Rowe, i think they said everything else BUT this in the coverage, but IMO, he's done his PCL aka Ruckmans injury.
That usually occurs when the lower leg gets pushed backwards at the knee....as in ruckmen bumping knees at centre bounces.
If that is the case, its better than ACL (12 months) and means he could be back sometimes this season.
Hopefully Jones' injury from the VFL isn't too bad as he should get a call up based on his efforts of late.
