AFL is known for the grey area in its rules but Charlie Cameron learned umpires can be incredibly strict for the ones they do enforce.

An AFL umpire’s instruction to Lions forward Charlie Cameron in Sunday’s Q Clash has been described as “harsh” and “laughable”.

Brandon Starcevich went down with a calf injury in the warm-up, before Lincoln McCarthy and Darcy Gardiner suffered knee injuries, while Noah Answerth was ruled out with concussion.And the injury cost could have been even worse after Cameron appeared to hurt his left leg when Gold Coast’s Ethan Read tackled him from behind to win a holding the ball free kick.

“You’re not being attended to by a trainer so just forget your ACL snap. Just hobble forward if you can.” Fagan added that both McCarthy and Gardiner’s injuries suggested ACLs, which would end their respective seasons.
