Matt Maguire has a staph infection after going to hospital for treatment on his foot injury, and is listed to be out for 3 weeks.
Mark Williams will not return to play Hawthorn this week but Cale Hooker will.
Paul Bower will be among as many as four ins for Carlton this week.
No reports, including one for tripping on Brad Dalziell, resulted in suspensions.
Daniel Bradshaw is a likely starter against Collingwood but Mark Seaby is still several weeks away.
Maxwell is “hopeful” and “50/50” for the Swans match. Alan Didak, Luke Ball, Ben Johnson are all likely.
Mark Nicoski will be out for two weeks with a shoulder, while Tom Swift is doubtful and Chris Masten will return through the WAFL.
Salopek may miss the rest of the season with his dodgy shoulder.
Hamish Hartlett will miss the next game with a quad strain.
Scott Thompson was not on the injury list on Tuesday.
Tom Williams will miss one week.

“The Brisbane Lions bandwagon is struggling with fantasy stars like Matt Maguire and Jonathan Brown out injured”
WOW another inspired write up! lucky people like ready the forums other wise there isn’t anything else here to see that the afl.com or a million other sites show…and that is team list and injurys… come on you must have more to offer than this. How about a write up on rookies that haven’t debuted yet or how the brownlow is shaping up…. shit anything really other than injurys and team names

Dont wanna sound like im having too much of a go… BUT. Seems like too many people are having a winge and not saying or doing anything constructive.
How about taking some initiative and writing something yourself and do your own research?
Just a thought and definately not personally aimed at you Hippo, i dont really know you, but there are people on this site that just take take take and dont give.
Again, i want to stress that this is nothing personal mate so dont be replying having a go at me.

If the Lions lose a few more Brown may well be mothballed for the year – would make sense

I think Hippo’s comment is (somewhat) contructive and a “write up on rookies that haven’t debuted yet” is a great idea and possibly overdue.
Voss 2010 = FAIL.

Re Hippo: mate, m0nty provides what he provides, which is by far the best stats database that we all rely on, a live scores service that I’m sure you (like the rest of us) check continuously all weekend, plus more podcast each week than would appear to be humanly possible, plus whatever else he wants to provide. In return you look at ads – though I might add I doubt he’s making a killing out of it. If you want anything else, try to find it elsewhere, if it exists. You could of course make polite requests but obviously this level of civility has proved to be beyond your toolish mental capabilities.

I think it absolutely hilarious that anyone would complain about a free website and I am 99 percent sure that Hippo was taking the piss and seeing who would bite.
