DT Round 19 Injury & Suspension News

Here's a cheeky update for you all, as I catch up on some AFL footy whilst on holiday. I should be able to get some good info up on the site in the next 24 hours, so have a look. Anyway, first of all here is the rundown of news on the topic of injuries and suspensions from the weekend.

Fremantle v Port Adelaide: Port's Jacob Surjan benched after Q2 with a corked thigh. Hamish Hartlett struggled with a back injury during the game and you wonder about his fitness for the rest of the year.

Richmond v Sydney: The man with the dodgiest hamstring in the land, Jarrad McVeigh pulled his hammy today. Also ruckman Darren Jolly has an AC joint worry.

North Melbourne v Melbourne: For the Dees, Jared Rivers was a late change. For North, Josh Gibson hurt his thumb & Hamish McIntosh's output was hurt by a back problem in Q1, but both should be OK for next week. While Cam Bruce's output was down due to a wrist concern. Youngster Rohan Bail injured his thigh in the warm-up, but played and then was mothballed. Odd one.

Adelaide v Collingwood: Brett Burton copped a 'badly corked buttock' and sat on the pine. Doesn't look too good for him.

Essendon v Brisbane Lions: no major injury worries, although Bomber Kyle Reimers limped off in Q4 but returned.

Hawthorn v St Kilda: Big news here with late changes, as for the Hawks, Brad Sewell (quad) was a late withdrawal and for the Saints, Nick Dal Santo (illness) & Sam Fisher (general soreness) were late changes. James Gwilt got reported, while Jarryd Roughead had a worrying thigh problem in Q4.

Western Bulldogs v West Coast: For the Dogs, Liam Picken was a late change. For the Eagles, Adam Selwood copped a knock to the knee but should be okay.

Carlton v Geelong: For the Blues, Mark Austin was a late withdrawal. For Geelong, there were bad ankle injuries for David Wojcinski and Darren Milburn while Cam Mooney got concussed and will touch-and-go for next week.
