INJURIES AND SUSPENSIONS- ROUND 12

Over the course of the year, I will try and keep track of the injuries and suspensions as they occur each round. Here they are for the first weekend of the split-round:

Injuries

Nathan Bock (ADE)- Groin Strain
May have strained a groin late in the match and could be in doubt

Scott Camporeale (ESS)- Diagnosis unknown
Late withdrawal from the last match

Kane Tenace (GEE)- Ankle Sprain
Should be available next match given the week off

Steven Salopek (PTA)- Ankle Sprain
Should be available next match given the week off

Nathan Krakouer (PTA)- Shin Injury
Will miss 1-2 weeks with some discomfort

Josh Mahoney (PTA)- Ankle Sprain
Test

Matt Tyler (BRL)- Hamstring Strain
Reinjured his hamstring in his return match from injury

Cain Ackland (CAR)- Broken Nose
In doubt and will be subject to a test

Andrew Walker (CAR)- Dislocated Shoulder
Kept going down to the rooms during the Hawks clash but played on. May need surgery at the end of the season and will probably need to rest it for at least a month

Lance Whitnall (CAR)- Dodgy knee
Has suffered from arthritis in his knee (a degenrative knee condition) and will be monitored each week. More than likely will have a rest for a couple of weeks

Lance Franklin (HAW)- Calf Strain
Late withdrawal from last week's match. Test, but you'd think he should be alright given week's break

Blake Grima (KAN)- Hamstring Strain
Will miss a week or two

Robert Murphy (WBD)- Hamstring Strain
Will miss 1-2 matches

Travis Johnstone (MEL)- Achilles Sorness
Not named this week despite the week off and will be monitored

Tadgh Kennelly (SYD)- Knee
Looks set to miss 3-6 weeks. For more info refer to this

Chad Fletcher (WCE)- Groin Strain
Not named this week. Severity not known

David Neitz (MEL)- Finger Injury
Was a late withdrawal on Friday night after minor surgery on a finger injury. Will face a fitness test later this week.

Ben Holland (MEL)- Broken Nose
Likely to be available

Adem Yze (MEL)- Groin Strain
Was a late replacment for David Neitz on Friday night and has aggrevated a groin injury. Will miss approx. 3-4 weeks

Andrew Krakouer (RIC)- Calf Strain

Unclear whether he has a calf or ankle injury. Could be available next week or miss 2-3 matches

Chris Judd (WCE)- Groin Injury

Has been restricted with a groin injury and was a late withdrawal. Doubtful for this week against Adelaide

Dean Polo (RIC)- Shoulder Injury

Will require a shoulder reconstruction and will miss the remainder of the season

Brett Peake (FRE)- Broken Collarbone

Broke his collarbone playing in the WAFL for the 2nd time this season. He missed 6 weeks the first time around and it is unclear at this stage how long he will miss

Michael O'Loughlin (SYD)- Corked Hip

Suffered a corked hip against the Pies on Saturday night and will face a fitness test

Justin Koschitzke (STK)- Hamstring Strain

Severity if the injury is yet unknown, however has already been ruled out of this week's clash against the Tigers

Suspensions

David Hille (ESS)- 1 week
Head high charge at Chad Cornes. Left Cornes with blurred vision and Hille was probably lucky to get only 1 week.

Nathan Eagleton (WBD)- 2 weeks
Jumper-punched Chris Tarrant yet forgot to grab the jumper. Tazz must have had a target on his head last weekend. Again, probably lucky to get only 2 weeks.

Anthony Rocca (COL)- 1 week

Has been charged with engaging in rough conduct against Sean Dempster, Sydney, during the third quarter of the Round Twelve match between Collingwood and Sydney, played at Telstra Stadium on Saturday June 23, 2007. In summary, he can accept a one-match sanction with an early plea. The incident was assessed as negligent conduct (one point), medium impact (two points) and high contact (two points). This is a total of five activation points, resulting in a classification of a Level Two offence, drawing 225 demerit points and a two-match sanction. He has no applicable good or bad record. An early plea reduces the penalty by 25 per cent to 168.75 points and a one-match sanction.


Chris Tarrant (FRE)- 1 week
After the much publicised Darwin nightclub incident, Taz has been slapped with a week.
