Distressing scenes as AFL superstar goes down with knee injury
Sam Darcy will have scans after the Western Bulldogs feared significant ligament damage from the no-contact knee injury.
- On Friday night, Western Bulldogs forward Sam Darcy suffered a potentially serious knee injury during a 75-point loss to Geelong at GMHBA Stadium. The 22-year-old collapsed without contact in the second quarter.
- Bulldogs football operations manager Matthew Egan told Fox Footy at half-time the club will wait for scans on Saturday. "The mechanism didn't look great, but we just can't confirm everything," Egan said.
- Further casualties on a "horror night for Luke Beveridge's side" included Tom Liberatore, who suffered a concussion, alongside Rory Lobb and James O'Donnell, both ruled out with hamstring injuries. The trio compounded the Bulldogs' injury crisis.
- Geelong key forward Jeremy Cameron dominated the contest with a season-high 10 goals, leading the Cats to a commanding 131 to 56 victory. The result lifted Geelong to a 4-2 record.
- The 33,200-strong crowd witnessed Geelong celebrate milestones for Mark Blicavs' 300th game and Jake Kolodjashnij's 200th. The hosts' dominant performance overshadowed the Bulldogs' injury-plagued night.
