JASON Akermanis is a definite non-starter against the Brisbane Lions on Saturday night despite a positive scan for a hamstring injury.
The Bulldogs veteran left the ground in the third term of Sunday's win against Hawthorn with what appeared to be a significant strain, but tests showed little or no damage.
Akermanis might have been struck down by nothing more than a spasm or cramp, but he will not be risked against the Lions - despite having an imposing record at the Gabba and being keen to travel north for what almost certainly would have been his farewell game at the stadium.
