"Ruckman Todd Goldstein (ankle) has been on a restricted program since Christmas, but North is confident he will be fit for round one"

Can any one shed any more light on what type of ankle injury it is as I was unaware of any injury to Goldy?

hard to find anything on it now but if my memory serves me right i think it was a fairly minor roll or strain and the clubs just being super cautious with him

North have been managing his preseason workloads, haven't heard anything about an Ankle holding him out, but if it is just a roll or sprain this far out he should be fine.

LANCE Franklin won't play in Sydney's intra-club match on Friday.

The star Swans forward, who played through last year's finals series with a shoulder injury, is also suffering from an ankle niggle.

"He showed a lot of courage to be able to play with it," coach John Longmire said on SEN.

"Lance has been training, he's just got a bit of a sore ankle at the moment.

"He's been doing all the training, we expect him to train again this week.

"He's not far away from contact, he's done a little bit already, and that'll be upped again next week.

Franklin had shoulder surgery after the 2016 season.

Longmire confirmed his high-price forward would miss the intra-club along with Luke Parker (knee), Gary Rohan and Sam Naismith (shoulder).

Franklin is also unlikely to appear in the Swans' first JLT Community Series game against North Melbourne at Coffs Harbour on Sunday, February 19

JUST IN | @GWSGIANTS confirm new recruit Brett Deledio will miss the opening rounds of the JLT Community Series, due to a minor calf injury.

Should be right for Rd 1 but concern with calf injuries to older players.

Good player... but fools gold now.
Feel Bennell is similar, as he did his "good" leg calf in November.

It's why we got Petrie

Lycett and Giles both pushing for Round 1, but Petrie will probably play if they don't get up
