Goodwin got cramps in the final quarter but the Crows have no concerns from their first game.
Brisbane Lions
Simon Black didn’t play in the end, those who did got through fine.
Carlton Blues
Fevola was definitely not 100% and Jamison may have a sore shoulder, both should pull through fine like the rest of their team.
Collingwood Magpies
Didak may have a corked buttock and Anthony needed a lot of work on his back both played on.
Essendon Bombers
Lucas will have a sore elbow and Bellchambers was a late withdrawal.
Fremantle Dockers
Palmer got some work done but played the whole game.
Geelong Cats
Selwood was off in quarter one but came back strong, Rooke was reported for charging and Mackie was for striking.

North Melbourne Kangaroos
No concerns.
Port Adelaide Power
Ebert copped a big knock, looked in a bad way, he came back on though. Cornes had his hand tended to a bit.
Richmond Tigers
Ben Cousins out until around week 5, controversial, he was sore at 3 quarter time and was sent back onto the field. Andrew Raines will be out until the same point with a knee injury.
St Kilda Saints
Raphael Clarke went off with a hamstring injury, the Saints are hoping the scans will be positive and he’ll be available this week. Riewoldt ‘cramped’ but keep a close eye on him; it may have been a hamstring injury.
