The Western Bulldogs have emerged from the weekend’s AFL and VFL games without any major injuries to report, Medical Services Manager Andrew McKenzie says.

“It’s been a good week, no majors out of the AFL or VFL teams this week,” McKenzie said.

In further positive news, Club medical staff will assess Ryan Griffen during Thursday’s main training session, after his back complaint has begun to settle. 

“Griffen’s back has settled down and he’s done some running today and some football work,” he said.

“We will monitor him throughout the week and look to do training on Thursday and assess him from there.

“We are optimistic about him.”

Fellow veteran Adam Cooney, however, will spend at least one more week on the sidelines – although he is progressing through his rehabilitation plan as planned. 

“Cooney’s hamstring has settled down, he has started running - he will miss this week and we will assess him from there and see how he’s progressing,” he said.

The Club will have more information on Jordan Roughead after he receives a medical review tomorrow.

“Roughead’s review is tomorrow, we will know more from that review and can update further.”
