According to the injuryupdate.com.au site (which is usually pretty reliable) Brock has a quad strain and is due back in Round 15.

Anyone else heard anything about this? Would certainly explain the last few weeks.

Brock Quad Hip Flexor on injuryupdate?

Valenti to come in for him perhaps?

That website is normally pretty accurate to no reason to doubt it at this stage.

Think tonights selection will confirm it.

If true, its a kick in the teeth; he was averaging 7 clearances a game for the past 3 weeks.

Perfect opportunity to see if Valenti is up to it though.

Just compared the MFC webiste and they may have got their Macs backwards.

Tom McNamara is out with with a hip flexor, so I think it's a mistake.

This is what the Herald Sun listed on June 16th:

Jake Spencer (ankle) 2 weeks

Tom McNamara (hip) 3 weeks

Rhys Healey (quad) 4 weeks

Simon Buckley (groin) 3-5 weeks

Austin Wonaeamirri (knee) 3-5 weeks

John Meesen (foot) indefinite

Colin Garland (foot) indefinite

Sam Blease (leg) indefinite

I think injuryupdate.com.au made a mistake. However, I wouldn't be surprised if in fact Brock is carrying an injury. Or maybe that's just me hoping that his average form can be put down to an injury.

CC mentioned that Brock's been suffering from injuries (although he didn't explicitly say that McLean was carrying an injury, only that he'd been impacted by injuries and had missed the pre-season etc).

I hope Maric comes in. I'd like to see him drill a couple against a sus defence...
