Injuries a sore point for Lions and Suns

Q U E E N S L A N D ’ S p u n c h - drunk AFL clubs are reeling from another round of heavy blows with Lion Charlie Cameron and Sun Aaron Hall faced with missing all or a large chunk of the season.

Brisbane last night revealed Cameron would undergo foot surgery next week.

Hall has a bicep tendon tear that has been listed as a 10 to 12 week injury by the Suns, so there remains a slim chance he may return for the final game or two of the year.

Gold Coast are also grappling with the long- term health of defender Kade Kolodjashnij, who is enduring a second season of serious concussions.

The 22- year- old missed the final 10 rounds of last season after multiple head knocks left him with blurred vision.

He played the first four games of this season before suffering another head knock in April.

He was named to return in the NEAFL last weekend but experienced headaches and was a late withdrawal and visited a specialist in Melbourne.

Suns Football manager Jon Haines said the club would know more in the coming days.

“He is seeing a specialist to get another assessment, it is the same specialist he saw last year when he suffered his first bout of concussion.’’

His twin brother, Geelong’s Jake Kolodjashnij, revealed the extent of the family’s concern on Melbourne radio yesterday.

“It’s been an up and down ride for Kade because he was going really well in the early stages ( of his AFL career), and then he had some minor hits, and because of his ( injury) history, it’s really upsetting his head,” Jake Kolodjashnij said.

“Fingers crossed it all goes well for him, but there might be some conversations on where he’s at ( with his concussions),” he said.
