Yeah 6-12 apparently. I didn't even know so cheers for that.

2011 Lions debutant Ryan Lester has been dealt a blow with the news that he may be sidelined for up 6-12 weeks after suffering ligament damage in his right foot.

Heppell may be rested against the Suns due to the short break according to Hird.

Dyson Heppell won five votes in Anzac Medal voting to finish three votes behind winner Scott Pendlebury, but Hird said the young defender was one player who was nursing a few sore spots and could be rested next week given the short break.

''We don't want to hurt him. He's pretty sore in a couple of areas so he might be one who doesn't play.''

Yep that one is going to bite me with Coad injured and the multi bye.

Lot of coaches sweating on the Rioli injury especially since many had Kraks and Richo on the chopping block this week.

If Heppell is out it looks like it will be all hands on deck in most people's back lines.

With the likes of Enright, Broughton, Duffield, Bruce & Lower all due to sit this one out everyone's depth will be tested.

 

[daveyjaye]

how long will Broughton be out for?

"Hawthorn Football Club can confirm scans have revealed only minor bleeding in Cyril Rioli’s right hamstring," the club said in a statement on Wednesday evening.

"With the Hawks having the bye this weekend, further assessment will be made in the lead up to the round seven Port Adelaide match."

[Judd_Magic]

Was going to go Duigan > Pederson and Krakeour > J.Riewoldt but I might go Broughton > Pederson now and Krakeour to J.Riewoldt or Conka > Boyd.

Hmmm.

 

[lysp]

And to make matters worse.

Jolly/Higgins are possible outs for this weekend.

Magpies coach Mick Malthouse said today Jolly was doubtful with a knee injury.
...
Meanwhile, Higgins pulled up sore after the Bulldogs' narrow loss to Fremantle on Monday night and appears an unlikely starter at Etihad Stadium on Sunday.

Boak out for what looks to be only the one week.

 

[CrazyEighty8]

Otten injured not dropped.

'Dumped Adelaide defender Andy Otten will find out the extent of damage to his reconstructed left knee when he visits a specialist on Monday. Otten has been dropped from the Crows side that will face St Kilda at AAMI Stadium on Saturday night, but has complained of soreness in the same knee that he injured during pre-season training in late 2009.'

They're dropping like flies this week... Lucky it's multi bye & there's no league games on.

Cameron Bruce out for six weeks (knee).

I feel sorry for anyone who shelled out the big bucks for him.

From Official Carlton Twitter Account:

Marc Murphy flew home today with his left arm in a sling after suffering a knock to his shoulder during last night’s victory at the SCG. He will have scans over the weekend and the results of these scans will be advised as soon as they are available.

Means I'll most likely have to find replacements for him, Swan & Pendles next week.

****. MY. LIFE.

Bugger.

Even if its minor they may rest him next week so he gets a few weeks off with the bye coming up.

The SC gods are angry my friends

Phil Davis(Adelaide) down with a serious injury.

Don't have him this year but unlucky start to his year

Which means L.Thompson should be very safe from here.

Wishing I traded him in now Biggie .

Also any spuds who have Tambling or Dawson should look elsewhere.

Tambling elbow to Schneider's neck/shoulder/head area and Dawson dropped Knights before the first bounce.
