Carlton veteran Sam Docherty faces yet another test of his already remarkable resilience, his 2024 campaign over after rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament against the Brisbane Lions.

Carlton veteran Sam Doherty ruptured his ACL against Brisbane on Friday night.Brisbane Lions have confirmed running defender Keidean Coleman has ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament.

This time he was hurt in a tackle in the first quarter, with scans in Melbourne confirming the worst news.“There is arguably no player in our competition who is more beloved than Sam Docherty,” Blues’ general manager of football Brad Lloyd said. “His impact on our side will certainly be missed on the field. However, his impact on his teammates and on the selfless environment we are creating will continue to be profound right throughout the club,” Lloyd said.

Hardnut Hewett and dual Brownlow medallist Neale tangled in a stoppage in the third quarter of Friday night’s clash at the Gabba. Lions’ great Jonathan Brown said during the match coverage that Christian’s ruling on Hewett would “set an example” for the rest of the season. “It’s really disappointing news for Keidean, especially in the first game after a strong pre-season and an impressive finals campaign last year,” Lions football general manager Danny Daly told the club’s website.
