Jaeger was the sports doctor who set the missus up for a double ankle reco with Dr. Hutchenson who was the gentleman who did the reco's for all the footy players. Whole thing was really well handled and they nailed everything they needed to.

There should be an Australia wide, even international search for the best medical person(s), with a sports industry back ground and will work closely with the high performance team.
AFL isn't big enough for clubs to employ doctors full time, given the soft cap footy ops expenditure restrictions, but we should be looking for someone better.
I'd like us to pinch an Australian Olympic doctor, but most of them live outside SA and it would be hard to get them here.
That's why the long term plans of building a sports science / health practice business that is owned by the club - maybe in partnership - but has its own independent income streams becomes an important factor in getting the best person/people and dodging the soft cap restrictions. These are a couple of Olympic doctors I know of and the type we should be chasing.
Dr Brian Sando was Norwood's doctor for years and was an Olympic team doctor at 6 games between 1980 and 2000 and in 2004 the Oz swimming team asked him to be their doctor for the 2004 games. The crows snapped him up in 1990 when they were formed, and he played a key role in their 1997-98 flags.
Dr Brian Corrigan in Sydney was the Australian Olympic doctor for games between 1968 and 1988. I knew of him before I moved to Sydney, but would regularly hear his interviews on radio in Sydney when I lived there. He was the Socceroos doctor for about 30 years, worked with Manly rugby league side and the Oz cricket team. Kerry Packer pinched him to be the doctor during World Series Cricket.
Both Dr Brians have been inducted into the Sport Australia Hall of Fame.
Port's former doctor, Peter Barnes went to the Olympics with the Oz cycling team 2 or 3 times, when he was Port's chief medical officer.
