The Brisbane Lions are due to hold talks with Gabba chiefs on the spate of serious knee injuries its players have suffered at the venue. Six players have gone down with ruptured ACL’s at the Gabba since last July. No blame from club to ground, just due diligence.

I wonder if we will admit that we had some challenges with the move to Skinner? The injury rates have dropped a fair bit for us.

There does appear to be a strong correlation with hard grounds and injuries. Do you recall before the installed the lights at Marvel and grew proper grass, that there was a narrative that players were getting more injuries if they had to back up at Marvel compared to all other grounds.

Tom Mitchell has been ruled out until Rd 13 at the earliest. Low-grade hamstring strain confirmed for Will Hoskin-Elliott. Sidelined until King’s Birthday. Jordan De Goey in doubt for Friday night with more groin issues
