26 July 2022Tom Lynch, hamstring"He's had a pretty good week-and-a-half. Initially, the injury against Gold Coast (Round 17) in the first five minutes of the game, there wasn't too much in it, but it was enough for us to withdraw him from the game and put him back into our rehab group after some scans. He got going pretty quickly in the first seven days, then last week he progressed and was running quite fast by the end of the week. So, we've pretty much started full training this week and he completed full training today. We've got another session on Thursday... And I anticipate he'll be selected for Sunday's game."
Dustin Martin, hamstring"Dustin initially had the incident against West Coast (Round 16) and it was determined as a minor hamstring issue. Based on Dustin's previous history, he's recovered quite well from these sorts of things. But we found two weeks in that it was moving a little slower than we would have liked, and last week he was doing some strides at about 50 per cent and felt a little bit of a grab in that same tissue. He had some scans which showed what we thought had happened and we've just had to take back a step and slow his running down. He's had two running sessions since and got through those, but we've had to go back a little bit in terms of his rehab program in the gym environment as well. It's going to extend his timeframe which is unfortunate and disappointing, but we want to make sure when we get players back, they're back and they stay back."
Jack Ross, knee"He had a little bit of a medial ligament strain in his knee from a training session a few weeks ago. Last week, he participated in full training but still didn't feel quite right. But he's full trained today and feels a lot better and I'd expect he'll be available for selection this weekend."
Samson Ryan, concussion"He copped a knock in the game and at the time there weren't any symptoms that needed attention. But, he reported some headache symptoms on Monday morning and the doctor has made the call that he needs to sit out this week. It's a bit of a delayed effect from a knock in the game. As we know with concussion, we take it seriously and it's really important for the player welfare that we make a smart decision."
