Understand it’s a suspected dislocated knee cap for Crows rising star Dan Curtin. Horrible blow for one of the standouts of the club’s pre-season, but thankfully his ACL is believed to be in tact at this stage.

Best case scenario, given he was on the stretcher with a straightened leg, it's obviously gone back into place. Wouldn't surprise me to see him back in a month

Curtain had odd looking strapping last season that just covered his kneecap, wonder if he's issues with it before?
