Simon Black (hand) â€" 3-4 weeks
Brent Staker (knee) â€" season
Dayne Zorko (hip) â€" test

Good to see Zorko down as test - Hopefully will get a name in the reserves this week but not sure as they travel to Darwin so maybe next week as an added precaution.

Lions v GWS, who gets the rest this week??

[Ziplock]

I don't know if the lions can afford to rest...

Agree Zip - We need to win this.  Power Returning will add some spice as well. It is a must win game so can not see too many if any being rested. Hudson and Lester had the General last week. Drummond may get another rest as part of his management this year but apart from that can see no obvious taargets especially with a bye in three weeks as well.

[elephants]

I don't think Hanley will play, just a get feel.

How do you think Lions players and fans will respond to Power Ringo? Has done a fair bit for the Lions..? I'd almost be surprised if he copped too much flack?

[Ringo]

I suspect and this is personal opinion much the same way as they respond to Rischetelli.  Riska was touted as trade bait by the club in the Fevola Debacle and most fans feel hardly done by and respect his decision to leave after being trade bait.  The same for Power who was not guaranteed continuation at Lions retired as a result and then given a life-line by GWS.  Black and Power are life long friends and Blackie even intimated he may inadvertently pass the ball to Power on his call from years of playing together.

This would be in contrast to Brennan reaction who sought to be released to GC and why he is booed.

Article states Hanley a chance so I would be making sure I had good bench cover for him especially with Lions playing Sunday. With Playing GWS may give him a week but then again this is an imprtant match now as well.

Another one to add to Injury list Banfield gone for 6 weeks. Not big issue for SC with only being owned by 1.05%. Will ensure Zorko is probably not sub and some JS.

good for Zorko and fantasy teams everywhere

Bad news for Banfield

[JBs-Hawks]

How bad was adcocks groin? thinking of bringing him in this week

[Ringo]

No concern at all this week for his groin.  Definitely playing this week Trained strongly. Hanley will have final fitness test tomorrow but unless he blows up he will also start.
