DT Round 12 Injury & Suspension News

Basically this little section is a rolling update over the course of the weekend on injuries and potential suspensions so you can keep an eye on it all. So stay posted.

Adelaide v North Melbourne; Popular rookie Jack Ziebell's injury is the talking point. He was rushed to hospital late in the game and may have broken his leg. He was also reported earlier, but will get off. Kanga Lindsay Thomas pulled his hamstring late in the game, and so did Adelaide's Brent Reilly. As reported here yesterday, Richard Douglas was a late withdrawal with a virus, while Graham Johncock also dropped out with a mystery respiratory problem.

Hawthorn v Brisbane Lions; Popular DT youngster Mitch Clark is the big worry after straining his quad today. Also, Brisbane's Troy Selwood dislocated his shoulder on his comeback game and will be gone for a while.

Richmond v West Coast; No major concerns here, although Richmond bigman Will Thursfield copped a hit to the head and was a bit groggy but should be okay for next round.

Western Bulldogs v Port Adelaide; The main news is in the 4th quarter Power forward Daniel Motlop re-injured the ankle which kept him out of action recently. Less significantly, Bulldogs star Jason Akermanis, who was rumoured to have swine flu this week, struggled a bit but got through the game.

Carlton v St Kilda; The main injury news centres around DT star Chris Judd who looks to have broken his nose. It's not clear yet if it's a major or minor fracture of the nose but Judd played on, despite plenty of blood, so maybe that suggests he'll be okay to go for Round 13. Also for Carlton, early-season DT fave Bret Thornton was a late withdrawal after suffering a hamstring injury at training on Thursday, while Brendan Fevola seemed to hurt his ankle in the second-half but played on. There were no such problems for the victorious Saints.
