In a huge blow for the Pies, Beams faces a race against time to return before season's end. Grundy soldiered on with a sore ankle in the loss to Fremantle on Saturday but is expected to be fine to play Melbourne in the Queen's Birthday clash on Monday. The Pies are also hopeful Cox will be fit after missing five games, but they will be without Adams and Elliott until after the round 13 bye. Langdon will be out for some time yet but Appleby could be ready to resume in the VFL. Murphy's recovery has been slow and Kelly suffered a hamstring tendon injury in the VFL. Wells is hoping for a late-season return after suffering another long-term injury, but the campaign seems over for fellow veteran Dunn after a second anterior cruciate ligament rupture in nine months. - Ben Collins
