Around The Grounds

• Collingwood's popular DreamTeam midfielder Scott Pendlebury is making a fast recovery from the knee injury he picked last week against the Swans in Sydney according to the Herald Sun. Pendlebury, a $455k midfielder owned by over 18,000 DT coaches, is expected to miss the Magpies' upcoming Friday night clash with Essendon but is a good chance to face the Western Bulldogs the week after at Docklands.

• Richmond's $294k midfielder Mark Coughlan has been reported whilst playing for Coburg in the VFL putting his Tigers' future further in doubt. Coughlan, owned by almost 20,000 DT coaches, was reported for headbutting Sandringham's Colm Begley. The midfielder has been out of favour at Punt Road since Jade Rawlings took over as coach.
  

• St Kilda's $178k defender Max Hudghton is in doubt for next week's match against Geelong after suffering an ankle injury on the weekend. Hudghton, owned by over 3,500 DT coaches, injured ligaments in his right ankle and will have a scan on the problem on Monday. "It's probably 48 hours before you get (a true indication) because the swelling will be almost too new," St Kilda coach Ross Lyon said, "He'll ice it all night, ice every two hours. We would love to get him up... but it's certainly not career-ending or season-ending."

• Hawthorn's $242k forward Mark Williams will undergo scans after injuring his knee on Saturday night against the Eagles. Williams will almost certainly miss Hawthorn's Round 14 game against the Bulldogs on Saturday, but his long-term absence isn't clear yet. Hawks teammate Stuart Dew, who was a late withdrawal against West Coast, is still battling a quad problem.

• Finally, according to the Herald Sun, Carlton's $328k defender Paul Bower will miss up to two weeks with a medial ligament injury he sustained on Friday night against Essendon.
