After a tense round of footy, how has your club been affected by injuries?
Adelaide Crows player Curtly Hampton sprained his right ankle during the clash against the Brisbane Lions last Saturday. He was tackled by Lions player Ben Keays in the third quarter when the injury occurred. Hampton went straight to the rooms and came back out with ice strapped to his leg, sitting out the rest of the game. Brisbane Lions backman Claye Beams hurt his right hamstring during the clash against the Crows last Saturday. The injury occurred during the first half of the game. It comes after many other injury issues, including injuries associated with his groin, knee and foot. Carlton has been hit with several injury concerns after the clash against Fremantle last Sunday. Defender Sam Rowe hyper-extended his right knee when he collided with Fremantle captain Nat Fyfe. Rowe came off the ground shortly after to have his knee strapped, but later hurt his knee again when it buckled underneath him without making contact with another player. He came off the ground once again and did not return for the rest of the game. Former Collingwood midfielder Dale Thomas was sidelined for the second half of the game after suffering a concussion when he collided with teammate Alex Silvagni. Thomas also reportedly had blurred vision when he sustained the head knock. Patrick Cripps hurt his left knee during a contest that occurred in the third quarter. The midfielder returned to the field after taking pain medication and receiving further treatment. Jacob Weitering came off the ground during the third quarter after hurting his left arm. He received medical attention and returned to the field soon after. Collingwood player Jame Aish sustained a fractured cheekbone during the clash against Hawthorn last Saturday. The midfielder sustained the injury after a heavy head clash with Hawthorn's Daniel Howe during the third quarter. Aish went to hospital where he had scans to determine the severity of the injury. It is unknown at this stage how long it will take for the 21-year old to recover, and whether he will need surgery to repair the fracture. Essendon backman Michael Hurley hurt his left shoulder during the fourth quarter of the clash against West Coast. The 26-year old landed on his shoulder after a marking contest, but remained on the ground and played out the rest of the game. Cale Hooker hurt his right leg, but played out the game with the leg strapped. Geelong midfielder Nakia Cockatoo hurt his right hamstring only weeks after recovering from surgery on a sore thumb after round one. The hamstring injury occurred during the first quarter of the Friday night clash against the Bulldogs. Cockatoo could be sidelined for at least two weeks before Geelong head into their mid-season bye. Steven Motlop came off the ground after hurting his left hand during the third quarter. He received medical attention and returned to the field shortly after. Greater Western Sydney tall forward Rory Lobb was in a lot of pain when he collided with Richmond midfielder Dustin Martin during a marking contest in the first quarter. Lobb rested on the bench and returned later in the first quarter, but was rested during most of the second half. Giants coach Leon Cameron stated that Lobb had hurt his groin last week and had hurt it again during the game on Saturday. "Someone fell on him last week — his groin was a bit sore. The exact same thing happened tonight which is unique," Cameron said. "He just couldn't run, so 10 minutes into the third [quarter], the message was that he couldn't come back on." Hawthorn forward Paul Puopolo appeared sore after a contest just before half-time of the clash against Collingwood. The 29-year old limped off the field and into the rooms but played out the second half. Jack Gunston hurt his left knee after being tackled by Jack Crisp. The forward's leg was caught underneath him when he was tackled during the third quarter. Gunston was assessed by medical staff and played out the rest of the game. North Melbourne player Ben Cunnington also suffered a knee injury after his right leg was caught underneath him during a tackle. The midfielder was tackled by Melbourne co-captain Jack Viney in the first quarter of the game on Sunday. Cunnington walked off the ground and went straight down to the rooms. He later returned and tested his leg by performing run-throughs on the boundary line for the rest of the first quarter. He returned to the field in the second quarter with the right knee strapped and played out the rest of the game. Medical staff initially suspected Lachie Hansen had sustained a concussion after colliding with teammate Aaron Mullett in a marking contest during the first quarter. Hansen was cleared and came back onto the field shortly after. St Kilda midfielder Jack Newnes barely played his 100th game, after suffering a concussion during the clash against Sydney on Saturday. The 24-year old collided heavily with young Swan, Callum Mills early in the first quarter. Newnes went down to the rooms and was assessed by medical staff. He was sidelined for the rest of his milestone match. "He's really likely to play next week, that's the early call. We'll just have to see how he responds," St Kilda coach Alan Richardson said during the post-match press conference. Forward Maverick Weller limped to the bench late in the first quarter, when his right ankle was accidentally kicked by Sydney's Luke Parker. It was the same ankle the 25-year old had rolled during a training session a few weeks ago, which forced him out of the round seven side. Weller was assessed by medical staff and managed to play out the rest of the game. Sydney player Harry Cunningham injured his right foot during the third quarter of the clash against the Saints. Medical staff assessed and strapped the 23-year old's foot during three-quarter-time. Early in the fourth quarter a decision was made by the staff to strap ice to his foot. West Coast backman Sharrod Wellingham hurt his ankle during the first half of the clash against Essendon on Sunday, but played out the rest of the game. Western Bulldogs vice-captain Easton Wood had a sore shoulder after tackling Geelong's Jordan Murdoch in the first quarter on Friday night. Despite the soreness, Wood played out the rest of the game.
