Nat Fyfe: Fremantle veteran to miss multiple weeks after suffering latest injury setback in substitute's role
Fremantle star Nat Fyfe has been dealt a savage blow with the veteran ruled out for up to four weeks after straining his calf while warming up against St Kilda on Sunday. Fyfe was named as the starting sub against the Saints but remained on the bench for the entire game. Coach Justin Longmuir revealed after the match that Fyfe had reported calf awareness while warming up at half-time but was hopeful he hadn't done too much damage. The news was all bad for the dual Brownlow medallist though after learning he had suffered a strain that will keep him out of action for between two and four weeks. 'Obviously frustrating for Nat after he was able to get some continuity with his body in the last month' said Fremantle Executive General Manager of Football Joe Brierty. 'He will now commence an offloading and reconditioning period and our performance health team will set the program with Nat to return to football in the next few weeks.' The injury comes at a horrible time for Fyfe. He worked hard to recover from knee and hamstring injuries and showed he could have an impact as the sub. But now he will almost certainly have to re-build fitness and confidence in the WAFL before having another opportunity to play at the highest level. The Dockers have won six games in a row and also have Jaeger O'Meara already trying to get back in the team. Star Hayden Young is on a similar timeframe to Fyfe adding more selection pressure. Fyfe hasn't played a final since 2015. He missed Fremantle's 2022 finals run due to injury. Out of contract at the end of the season, the injury will also make it hard for Fyfe to become just the fourth Docker to play 250 games behind David Mundy, Matthew Pavlich and Aaron Sandilands. He is currently sitting on 244 matches.

Cameroon player dunks ball in his own basket to help Australia to miracle win
Australian Emus coach Robbie McKinlay had a list of plays drawn up with just 48 seconds left in the fourth quarter and his team down by six points to Cameroon at the under-19 basketball World Cup. McKinlay's playbook wasn't needed to win the game, however. Cameroon's Amadou Seini dunked the ball in his own basket to help send the game into overtime and Australia staged a remarkable comeback win. Seini's mistake is extremely rare, but it has happened before in basketball. In an exhibition game in 2013, University of Kentucky player Joe Young tried to save the ball from going out of bounds and as he flicked it behind his back, it landed in his own net. Seini's act was remarkable in that the centre received the baseline pass from his own player after an Australian basket and immediately dunked to gift the Emus two points and reduce the margin to four. Alex Dickeson hit a crucial three-pointer for Australia with four seconds remaining to tie the game and send it into double overtime. The Emus eventually secured a 101-96 victory with Roman Siulepa and Dash Daniels each scoring 22 points. The Emus are in the toughest group in the tournament, paired with favourites the USA, Cameroon and France. Australia had lost on the first day of the tournament against the USA by 15 points, meaning they needed a win against Cameroon to keep their tournament hopes alive ahead of the final group game against France. Apart from gifting the Emus two valuable points, Seini had enjoyed an outstanding game, finishing with 15 points and an under-19 World Cup all-time high of 25 rebounds, sharing the record with Australia's former NBA star and Sydney Kings owner Andrew Bogut.
