Knee injury puts cursed Crow in doubt for round one

Doedee – who has been elevated to the Crows' leadership group after just 21 career games – hyperextended his left knee when he landed awkwardly after an aerial contest at training last week.

It was the same knee that Doedee ruptured his ACL in last season's round one loss to Hawthorn.

Scans have revealed Doedee's ACL is intact, however he has bone bruising that will rule him out of the Crows' second Marsh Community Series game against Gold Coast on March 6.
