AFL finals teams manage player injuries ahead of semi-finals

Remaining AFL finalists have updated injury lists as clubs prepare for the next round of the postseason. Sydney confirmed Callum Mills ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament during the qualifying final, ruling him out for the remainder of the season. Brisbane is monitoring Noah Answerth for an ankle injury ahead of Saturday's match against Adelaide, while Fremantle remains uncertain about the availability of Brandon Walker. Geelong will be without James Worpel due to impending hamstring surgery, and Rhys Stanley remains a fitness test for a VFL preliminary final. Hawthorn ruled out Ned Reeves for the VFL match this weekend but noted he will be available for the AFL preliminary final if required. Teams are now finalizing their squads as they balance injury concerns with selection requirements.
