SFNL: Every Division 1 club's injury list
Big names aplenty are out injured across Division 1 of the Southern league.
See every club's injury list ahead of round 11 below. Bentleigh
Injured: Campbell Bedford (hamstring), Andrew Walker (knee), Kayne O'Brien (calf), Lachlan Lawrence (ankle), Josh Mackie (ankle)
The Demons injury list had been shrinking, but they were hurt by losing both Lachlan Lawrence and Josh Mackie in their last outing against Dingley in round 10. The pair are both expected to miss the next 4-6 weeks. Cheltenham
Injured: Jacob Edwards (concussion), Guy Studley (leg), Luke Verma (hamstring), Riet Pal (ankle), Jairo Hechavarria Coste (foot), Jonathan Zuccala (shoulder), Charlie Brookes (ankle), Tom Brookes (ankle)
The Rosellas have been tracking well and are sitting third but are still missing a number of key players. Jacob Edwards is a significant loss and is still a couple of weeks away after sustaining a concussion in round 8, while Riet Pal has proved a valuable addition to Cheltenham's backline but will miss the next five weeks with an ankle issue. Young Charlie Brookes has also suffered a cruel blow and will miss six to eight weeks having ruptured a tendon in his ankle after kicking four goals in his second senior game. Cranbourne
Injured: Mitch Tharle (arm), Jed Benham (ACL), Jarryd Barker (finger)
The Eagles are set to be without Mitch Tharle for some time for some time after he sustained a nasty broken arm on the weekend, while Barker has been missing since round 6 after breaking his finger. Dingley
Injured: Luke Simmonds (shoulder), Mitch Cook (knee), Cam Saultry (shoulder), Kristen Feehan (knee)The Dingoes are flying high with a 10-0 record and also have a relatively strong bill of health across the board. Cam Saultry has been missing all season after crossing from St Bede's but he is thought to be close to a return, meanwhile Kristen Feehan is a costly out, although he only picked up a minor knee injury last round which isn't expected to keep him sidelined for long. East Brighton
Injured: Sean Downie (hamstring), Declan Joyce-Lawford (ankle), Ben Reid (hamstring), Kai Love-Linay (ankle), Blake Cochrane (back), Lachlan Brooks (TBC)
The Vampires have been hit hard by injury to its top-end talent with captain Kai Love-Linay as well vice-captains Sean Downie and Blake Cochrane all ruled out with injury after round 10. Throw in ex-AFL man Ben Reid too and it's a serious list of outs. Murrumbeena
Inured: Thomas Rigby (ankle), Josh Cetinich (concussion), Travis Ogden (ACL), Duncan Gardiner (ACL), Mitch Simmons (MCL), Clayton Kingi (hand), Harrison Lagastses (general soreness), James Corboy (general soreness), Lachie English
Murrumbeena has battling injury trouble for long time and still boasts one of Division 1's longest injury lists. The Lions have been plagued by knee issues with both Travis Ogden and Duncan Gardiner tearing their ACLs, while Clayton Kingi has a broken hand. Narre Warren
Injured: Jesse Davies (groin), Riley Siwes (thumb), Josh West (foot), Dylan Mutimer (prosterior), Dan Toner (knee)
The Magpies had been boasting one of the division's lengthier injury lists, but key trio Kurt Mutimer, Joel Zietsman and Jake Richardson have all been named to return on Saturday night. The three players had all been missing since round 8 after all sustaining injuries against Springvale Districts. Riley Siwes is still expected to be sidelined for some time with a broken thumb while Josh West has a broken foot. Dan Toner has been absent since round 1 after doing his knee. Port Melbourne Colts
Injured: Justin Taylor (skull), Jack Berry (pectoral), Max Collier (hamstring)
Colts were missing eight to nine senior players a month ago at the height of their injury woes, but are largely out of the woods now. Playing coach Justin Taylor is unlikely to play again this season after fracturing his skull against Dingley in round 9. Taylor's head had collided with his opponent's knee and he described the noise as 'sickening'. Meanwhile, Max Collier cruelly sustained another hamstring injury having just returned from one. Springvale Districts
Injured: Daniel Helmore (ankle), Daniel Spence (knee), Kyle Martin (hamstring), Xavier Kinder (hand), Jamie Nguyen (cheekbone), Billy Green (quad), Ky Allock (groin)
Springvale Districts has a relatively long injury list but coach Kris Thompson isn't searching for any excuses. Kyle Martin is the most notable loss after injuring his hamstring in round 9, while top small defender Daniel Spence is another costly out, as is Daniel Helmore. St Paul's McKinnon
Injured: Chris Rousakis (hamstring/glute), Will Dwyer (calf)
Enjoying a strong run of form with four matches unbeaten going into round 11, St Paul's McKinnon is also in a very strong position healthwise.

Goodwin wants Lever confident for Demons return
Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin says Saturday's 19-point AFL loss to Gold Coast won't change his plan to get premiership defender Jake Lever back feeling good about his game after a tough 2025. The loss to the Suns was the Demons' fourth in a row and all but extinguished any hope of finals football, leaving them 15th on the ladder and 16 points outside the eight. Lever was one of three players axed by Goodwin for the trip to People First Stadium with the 29-year-old instead lining up for the Casey Demons in their 97-88 loss to the Suns in the VFL. After a season where Lever has already missed eight games with an ankle injury before earning a recall to the AFL team a month ago, Goodwin said his omission was about giving him an opportunity to rediscover his best form. "It's just to get him back feeling good about his footy, back playing where you feel confident about your game," Goodwin said. "Sometimes you can do that at VFL level, and you come back a really much improved and confident player. "He's someone that we value highly. We expect him to come back soon." Regardless of Lever's situation, Goodwin will almost certainly need to change his side for next weekend's trip to Adelaide after losing Blake Howes and Harrison Petty to concussion in the first half of Saturday's game. It's Petty's second concussion of the season after his head collided with Brayden Fiorini's hip while contesting for a loose ball. Suns coach Damien Hardwick, whose primary concern was for Petty, did not however feel that Fiorini had done anything wrong in the incident. "I hope he's (Petty) okay, and I'm sure he will be but we teach our player that technique and look, accidents are going to happen in AFL," Hardwick said. "He (Fiorini) made a play on the ball. I thought he got his hands on the ball at the same time. I don't think he has a case to answer."

Be bold and brave: Montemurro gives Matildas wings
New Matildas coach Joe Montemurro is urging his players to be braver with the ball when they attempt to make it two wins on the trot against Slovenia in Perth on Sunday. The Matildas beat Slovenia 3-0 at HBF Park on Thursday night, but it took goals in the dying minutes to Holly McNamara and Hayley Raso to secure the unconvincing win. Montemurro has come into the role wanting to implement a possession-based, fluid game plan. The possession aspect was definitely there on Thursday night, but the fluidity was lacking at times as Matildas players attempted to retain the ball at all costs. That led to timid back passes when line breaks were there to be taken, and also some horror defensive errors as players second-guessed themselves at times. Slovenia racked up a whopping 20 shots for the match, and it was only the heroic goalkeeping of Teagan Micah that ensured the visitors didn't score a goal. Montemurro was happy with many aspects his team displayed in game one of his tenure, but he doesn't want them to retain possession just for the sake of it. "It was a perfect game to learn and a perfect game to grow off," Montemurro said on Saturday. "The key message was protecting the ball and just making sure we prepare with the ball a lot better. "We can do it, we showed it. We just need to be more consistent and I suppose more brave with it. "The more we do it, the more we understand the important pass or the important situation with breaking a line. I"m sure they'll be more proactive. "When you say you want to play possession - and it's a word that's bantered a lot - it's normal they do the safe things to keep possession. "Now we have to be smarter to say, 'OK, we can prepare to go forward and be more proactive and break lines'." After taking on Slovenia on Sunday, the Matildas will face Panama across two matches - one in Perth, and one in the WA regional coastal town of Bunbury. The block of games is an important stepping stone towards next year's home Asian Cup, which kicks off on March 1. Montemurro is without Sam Kerr (ACL), Mary Fowler (ACL) and Tameka Yallop (leg) due to injury for the current block of games, while Steph Catley, Caitlin Foord, Katrina Gorry and Cortnee Vine are all on personal leave.
