Around The Grounds

• Adelaide's $244k forward/ruck Brad Moran is expected to miss the rest of the AFL season due to a serious knee injury. Moran limped off late against Sydney on the weekend and had an MRI scan on Monday. The scan revealed a ruptured posterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. "No decision has been made on whether he will have surgery, but as a guide it is probably a 12-week injury," a club spokesman said.

• On an official Hawthorn FC press release, the Hawks have listed $242k forward Mark Williams as out of action for 6-8 weeks with a knee injury. Williams injured the knee on the weekend against the West Coast Eagles.

• Adelaide's $248k midfielder Brent Reilly has been named as a likely starter for the Crows against Richmond this Saturday on the Gold Coast. Reilly had been out with a hamstring injury. Also Crows' skipper Simon Goodwin is still no certainty for the match and a decision will be made later in the week on his dodgy knee.
