Around The Grounds

• Essendon are claiming injured defensive pair Dustin Fletcher and Michael Hurley could return for the club's next fixture on June 19 in the second-half of the split round. Bombers assistant Scott Camporeale revealed to The Age, "We'll get a couple of defenders back in 'Fletch' and possibly Michael Hurley after the break." Hurley in particular, is of interest for DT coaches (over 15,000 still have him) after he injured his wrist early this season after a decent Round 1 score of 69.
  

• The Australian reports Kangaroos midfielder Daniel Wells is likely to miss out this weekend due to a hip injury he aggravated against St Kilda on Saturday. It also claims Lachie Hansen will play against Adelaide on Sunday after being out since Round 5 with a hamstring injury.

• The Australian claims Richmond will give a debut to DT ruck/forward Tyrone Vickery this weekend against the Eagles. Vickery was the 8th pick in the last AFL Draft and is valued at $122k, with around 14,500 DT coaches owning him.
