Sam Lalor: Knee Soreness, Unavailable
Â
Sam Lalor played last week following the hyperflexion injury to his knee he got late in the Adelaide game.
Â
He was able to get through the game against St Kilda, apart from an extended spell on the bench late in the match as a precaution.
Â
Sam has pulled up quite sore again in that knee and instead of pushing him, he will sit out this weekend.
Â
Jasper Alger: Ankle Soreness, Unavailable
Â
Jasper Alger has also pulled up sore with his ankle.
Â
Like Sam, it is only a very minor issue, but enough to make him unavailable for Saturday’s game.
