Dion Prestia, hamstring

"Dion was going for a ground ball late in the first quarter and hurt his hamstring. Follow up scans have unfortunately showed significant damage. It's looking like a long-term injury for Dion, we're looking at an 8-10 week period of him being out."

"It is disappointing that Dion will miss some football, but we will not take any risks in his recovery, as he still has a significant part to play in our season. Dion was in great condition over the pre-season, and we know he will continue this as he approaches his return to football."

Josh Gibcus, knee

"Terrible luck for Josh. He had to learn a lot of lessons last year of mental toughness and resilience. Josh is going to have surgery tomorrow (Thursday) to repair his ACL and he's going to miss the rest of this season. We're really confident that Josh will get a full preparation going in the next year, so the timing is not bad from that point of view. Josh is going to need a lot of support from his family and the Club, which he'll get. We're looking forward to seeing him again next year."

Tylar Young, concussion protocols

"Tylar was in a contest late in the second quarter and knocked his head. He was consequently checked and was given the all clear, and then over the half-time period developed symptoms. He's gone into concussion protocols and he'll miss this week. We'll make an assessment later in the week to see how he is for the following week."

Jack Graham, quad

"(He's going) really well. Jack's now completed some top-end sprinting and has almost completed his kicking progressions. He'll drip-feed back into some group skills next week and we're looking at another week or two before he's back available."

Liam Fawcett, back

"Liam had a scan a couple of days ago which showed some really good progress with his back oedema. We're looking at around about a month's time having another follow up scan to hopefully progress him back into running."

Mate Colina, back

"(He's) on a pretty similar timeline (to Fawcett). He had a follow up scan the other day and things are progressing well. He's probably in similar boat to Liam, in around about a month looking to get going again."
