Defender Brown could have earned a recall to the senior team this week but his season could be over after suffering another ankle injury in the dying moments of the VFL clash last weekend. The former Cat is set to miss at least six weeks with the concern. McNiece is still recovering from a neck injury he suffered at training in recent weeks and the club is handling it in a cautious manner, while Ambrose's quad complaint will see him miss at least another two weeks. - Callum Twomey
