Bradshaw Drops Out

Big $259k Brisbane Lions forward Daniel Bradshaw will not play this weekend due to a hamstring injury he sustained 2 weeks ago.

Bradshaw, who is owned by over 18,000 DT coaches, was surprisingly named in the Lions side to face Collingwood this weekend having missed the club's last game.

Brisbane coach Michael Voss said, "Braddy hasn't come up. We ended up giving him a run around on Wednesday night and he got through the training session alright but we wanted to find out how he pulled up. He won't be in the side.

"Earlier in the week we weren't too sure [if he'd be available] and the physio gave us a little bit of a surprise when he said that he might be a chance on Tuesday.

"We ran that (the possibility) into the ground as much as we possibly could and he just didn't come up.

"It (naming him) was a little bit out of hope that he would pull up OK, but the fortunate thing is that we've got him next week."

Midfielder Travis Johnstone and defender Jason Roe are the travelling emergencies, and one will replace Bradshaw in the 22.
