Port Adelaide forward Jeremy Finlayson has been ruled out for the remainder of the AFL season after suffering a horrific injury during Sunday’s loss to Gold Coast. Finlayson copped a knock during the match and despite feeling pain in his sternum, he was able to play out the match. But subsequent scans on Monday revealed a small laceration to his spleen. The 28-year-old does not require surgery, but will “need an extensive period to rest and heal,” according the club.

In better news, Todd Marshall has escaped injury and remains a chance to play this weekend. Marshall took no further part in the game after a bizarre injury stemming from a collision with teammate Charlie Dixon. Dixon inadvertently landed on Marshall following a marking contest with Marshall’s leg bending back in an unnatural position. But despite initial fears of a serious injury, Marshall has escaped with strain to his hip.
