Just saw this via twitter:

@AFL: Sam Rowe has informed @Carlton_FC that he has stage one testicular cancer. Tumour has been removed and he will now undergo chemotherapy.

Best wishes to Sam, here's hoping he beats that @#$%&! disease.

Stage one is always a good sign.

All the best Sam.

Thats Terrible........ Get Better Sam.

Best Wishes to Sam Rowe.

All the best to Sam at this time. As buzz said stage 1 is good.

Look forward to seeing you play many games in navy Blue.

I hope all those people who have been bagging him and the Carlton football club on here for wasting a draft pick feel bad now. Heaps of people have been saying whats wrong with Rowe, he is not even getting a game in the reserves, what a waste of draft pick.

Obviously this is why he hasnt been playing, and hopefully he makes a full recovery and gets another chance at playing for the Navy Blue.

Good luck Rowey

Horrible news.

Wishing Sam a full and speedy recovery.

Your frustration is understandable, but it's not really a time for taking potshots, as no-one would've expected anything like this.
