Let’s get the bad news out of the way first. Essendon have suffered a massive blow during their 55 point thumping of the Kangaroos with Scott Lucas set to miss at least half the season with a knee injury. Hawthorn defender Trent Croad is also nervously awaiting the outcome of tests this week to determine how long he will be benched after dislocating his wrist against Melbourne. Another casualty of round 1 is Brent Reilly from the Adelaide Crows who will miss at least six weeks after breaking his wrist in the last quarter of their match against the Western Bulldogs. To add insult to this injury, the Crows lost the game by three points after Reilly took the bench.
Winners are grinners and this week Hawthorn, Essendon, Richmond, Collingwood, West Coast, Geelong, St Kilda and the Bulldogs all came up trumps.
