Last injury: Left hamstring injury sustained late in the final quarter of Round 17 vs Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval — pulled up sprinting to pressure Darcy Byrne-Jones and went straight to the bench. Scans this week; coach Alastair Clarkson post-match: "he went off with a hamstring, so we will get that assessed during the week." — 5 July 2026 · 102d ago
