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.

Healthy returns form Dolphins' pass-rushing trio entering 2025
Healthy returns form Dolphins' pass-rushing trio entering 2025 One of the standout side stories in the Miami Dolphins' offseason program from this past week's minicamp is the trio of pass rushers Bradley Chubb, Jaelan Phillips, and Chop Robinson. Heading into 2025, Phillips is ready to go after injuries in each of the past two seasons. Last year was also a full season of rehab for Chubb following a Week 17 knee injury in 2023. Chubb and Phillips were a terrific tandem in their eight games together in 2023. Phillips was on his way to a career season and on a five-game sack streak in which he totaled six in that span leading into Week 13. Chubb finished the 2023 campaign with 11 sacks prior to his late-season injury. The veteran had a four-game sack streak to his credit as well as a three-sack performance in Week 15 against the New York Jets during that 2023 season. Ironically, that was the same Jets team that Phillips suffered his Achillies injury against a few weeks earlier. Through their injuries, Chubb and Phillips motivated each other in their rehabilitations. 'I think we both played a big role for each other, just in the sense of being there for each other during these times. Obviously, he's someone whose dealt with several injuries in the past, but ACL specific questions, I do ask him a lot because he's done three ACLs. I ask him about different things and he'll kind of give me feedback and tell me how I'm looking and stuff. Same thing, it's like some good reassurance that I'm in a good place," Phillips said. The duo now combines with a second-year, star in the making. Of course, Robinson hasn't yet played with Chubb, and he played just four games with Phillips last season. The 2024 first-round selection out of Penn State was developing in the first half of the season and didn't start rolling until around Week 9 when he registered his first career sack against the Buffalo Bills. As a solo artist without a true bookend as his teammates were recovering, Robinson finished the season as one of the best young pass-rushers in the NFL, totaling six sacks to rank second among 2024 rookies. However, he had veteran tutelage from Chubb. 'I was just his eyes off the field. Whatever I saw on the sideline, whatever I saw on the film, we'd sit down and watch it together. Not even just his film, we would watch just random d-ends from around the league and just see how they approach the game, how they play, because I feel like that helped me early in my career, just seeing how other people played the game, how they played certain blocks and stuff like that. "So I just kind of went through stuff like that with him, and then during game days, just told him what I saw on the sideline compared to what he saw on the field and kind of just collaborated our mindsets throughout that part and tried to help him play as fast as possible without really thinking," Chubb said. Robinson now morphs that Chubb-Phillips tandem into a trio. And, with all three locked and loaded heading into training camp, there is incredible potential for the Dolphins' pass-rush. Phillips is certainly excited. "We've been talking about it since Chop got here, for real. But it'll be cool to actually get to do it. Also just another year under the belt for our defense under 'Weave,' getting the plays together. "Chop has been having a hell of a OTAs. His improvement from last year to this year is like so noticeable, it's insane. Especially if you really know the nitty gritty of it, so I'm really proud of Chop, really excited to see how he's going to keep progressing," Phillips said. Perhaps Chubb put it best when meeting with Miami media on Wednesday. 'It's been dope, because those two guys, they put their head down and work and get to it. They don't take a play off, they don't take a rep off. When you've got guys like that that push you constantly, you can only go up," Chubb said. "You can only get better from that, so just having those two around knowing what they can do on the field and seeing how they put the work in to get to that point, too, is amazing.'

Miami Minicamp Confidential: OLB Jaelan Phillips locked in and ready to return to action
Miami Minicamp Confidential: OLB Jaelan Phillips locked in and ready to return to action The Miami Dolphins concluded their mandatory minicamp Thursday and outside linebacker Jaelan Phillips got a chance to update South Florida media on a few topics on Wednesday. Entering a second consecutive year coming off a season-ending injury, Phillips shared his progress in rehabbing from a 2024 ACL injury and discussed the difference from his 2023 Achilles season-ender. 'Oh, it's way easier. It's like night and day, honestly. The ACL, I was walking basically a week after surgery, and then was back to day-to-day life functioning after a couple of weeks. 'In terms of coming back to play, I feel like I tend to heal pretty well. I obviously take really good care of my body and have good genetics. I've been lucky with this process where I've been pretty much feeling the same for the last couple of months," Phillips said. Phillips injured his ACL during a Week 4 game against the Tennessee Titans last year. The 6-foot-5, 263-pound linebacker remarkably started 2024 on time following his 2023 Achilles injury that he suffered against the New York Jets during Week 12 of that season. Phillips was well on his way to a career year in 2023, going into the Jets game with 5.5 sacks and adding another against them before exiting the game with injury. In his first two years, Phillips had a Miami rookie record 8.5 sacks and followed up with seven during his second season in South Florida. Clearly pacing to exceed those numbers in 2023, a full season of Phillips in 2025 could mean a potential of double-digit sacks. Of course, he will be part of a trio that together, could form an extremely potent pass rush. He joins 2024 first-round pick Chop Robinson and veteran Bradley Chubb, who is also looking to return to action from his own knee injury from Week 17 in 2023. 'Yeah, man, we've been talking about it since Chop got here, for real. But it'll be cool to actually get to do it. Also just another year under the belt for our defense under 'Weave,' getting the plays together. I think you'll see things open up a little more, so it will be exciting," Phillips said of that trio of pass rushers. Phillips and Chubb were able to bond and push each other during their respective rehabilitations. 'I think we both played a big role for each other, just in the sense of being there for each other during these times. Obviously, he's someone who's dealt with several injuries in the past, but ACL specific questions I do ask him a lot because he's done three ACLs. I ask him about different things and he'll kind of give me feedback and tell me how I'm looking and stuff. Same thing, it's like some good reassurance that I'm in a good place," Phillips said. Phillips is no stranger to the injury comeback trail, and has dealt with setbacks since college, but closed the narrative that comes with it. "It's just like any other negative comments that you see on the internet, you just kind of have to ignore it. I can't feed into it. I know – for example, the knee. It's friendly fire, nothing I can do about it. How am I injury-prone if I get speared in the knee? Or even the Achilles, that's the first major injury I had in the league for real, other than the little oblique I had. 'You just hear the narrative and brush it off, do what you can do. No matter what you do, someone is going to have something to say about it. So at this point in my career, I feel like I do a pretty good job of being able to see that but not let it affect me too much," Phillips said. At this moment, Phillips enters 2025 as a team leader and vital component of a defense that will need to rely on its front seven. This is also a season in which a culture shift has been the topic and Phillips chimed in with his thoughts. 'I think the biggest thing for me that I've noticed is that with our defense especially, I can't really speak for the offense all that much, but with our defense, the leaders are leaders because of merit and because of the respect they earn on the field. They're not leaders because of name or because of how much you make or anything like that.' 'So guys like Jordyn Brooks, guys like 'T. Dot' [Tyrel Dodson], guys like Bradley, obviously, Zach Sieler, these are the humblest dudes you know. Come in, first dudes in, last dudes out type of mentality. They earn your respect in that way, which I can appreciate," Phillips said. Heading into his fifth season Phillips is all about progress and on a team full of speed on both sides of the ball, he used a pertinent reference while at the same time putting his peers on notice. 'No drag, so in F1, drag is the force that's resisting forward progress. So if you're dragging as a teammate, then you're being a bad teammate, dragging the team down, so no drag around here. All slipstream around here,' Phillips said. Phillips and the Dolphins will finish minicamp and break until July when training camp will begin at Baptist Health Training Facility. When asked about how he plans on spending that time off, Phillips mentioned he has a getaway planned along with some relaxation with family in California as well as hosting a kid's football camp. However, he seems locked into the program heading into the summer. 'Honestly, I did plenty of relaxing over the last seven months," Phillips said. "I vacationed, I went to Italy. I did all that stuff. So, for me, I'm still in go mode, for sure."

Cameron Brink fires back at fan over ‘red carpet' criticism after severe injury
Cameron Brink's ACL rehab took an unexpected detour Tuesday when she fired back at a critic who questioned how seriously she's taking her recovery. In a message shared on her Instagram Stories, the Sparks forward — roughly 12 months removed from a torn ACL — responded to a Los Angeles fan who opined, 'Something tells me that if she put as much work into rehab as she puts into walking down red carpets and schmoozing, she'd be back by now.' 'Usually I don't give energy to this type of stuff but I have time today — I'm working INCREDIBLY hard every day,' began Brink, who publicized the detractor's full post. 5 Sparks star Cameron Brink hit back at a critic who questioned how seriously she is taking her ACL recovery.

Basketball is my passion and everything to me … to say this you aren't a real fan.' The second overall pick out of Stanford in the 2024 WNBA Draft, Brink averaged 7.5 points per game, 5.3 rebounds and 1.7 assists before she went down on a non-contact play against the Connecticut Sun last June. 'You never think it will happen to you. And despite all the hard work sometimes it does. This is hard to fathom but I know it will only make me stronger,' Brink, 23, wrote on Instagram in the aftermath. 5 Cameron Brink was helped off the court during a game against the Sun in June 2024. Icon Sportswire via Getty Images 'I will not be derailed and I will continue to love this life- I'm not defined by basketball, but it is something that I love deeply and I will work everyday to get back to it. It's not goodbye basketball it's just a see you later. I'm always so thankful for your thoughts and prayers.'
