Tom Lynch, hamstring

"Tom had scans on Sunday that showed a mild strain in his lower hamstring area. It's in a similar spot to the issue he had in the pre-season, it's not in the same spot, but given it's in close proximity we need to take a bit of extra care. It's actually pulled up really well, he's running today (Monday) and we feel like it's going to turn around pretty quickly... He'll get moving pretty quickly this week and I anticipate he'll be doing a fair bit next week. He's obviously not playing this week, but post-bye we'll have to make the decision as to how quickly we return, if we give him an extra week or how that plays out. But we're certainly doing a fair bit of investigation and looking at his program. But it's not going to be a long injury, it's just how we calculate the time-frame and when he's safe to return so that he stays returned and we don't have another problem."

Kane Lambert, hip

"Kane's hip is really sore. He's played four games in a row now and with his long-term hip issue, we kind of expected we would have a situation where he would have to miss games. He did unbelievably well to play four in a row. We didn't expect it to be as sore on (Saturday) night (because) he trained last Thursday and was feeling quite good, but it's a little bit unpredictable. But Kane himself flagged that he was struggling and it was getting sorer. So, really now it's a situation where he needs a little bit more recovery time for that hip to settle over the bye, and I would anticipate that he'd be back training again leading into the Port Adelaide game. So, we'll assess as we go as we usually do, and we will then look at how many games optimally he could play in a row. The longer breaks certainly help, the eight or nine-day breaks, and the six-day breaks make it tougher for him. So, it's a little bit disappointing for Kane that he didn't complete the game but we'll reload and we'll go again."

Jack Graham, toe

"He ran today and ran much better than he was at the end of last week. He was relatively close (to playing) last week, but we just took the decision that the turnaround was a little bit too quick given the joint issue that he had. But, today he was much better and I'd expect him to be training with the main group on Wednesday and all that going well, he would be available for selection."

Noah Balta, hamstring

"He's really good. Today, he was running out here and was running quite fast. We're just progressing his kicking progression given it was a kicking-related injury...He won't be available this week, but I would expect after the bye we'll hopefully be in a really good position for the Port Adelaide game. But, we will take a measured approach and make sure that we go through those kicking progressions carefully to get a really good result for Noah, but it's looking really positive."
