Troy Simmonds, virus/lung clot, season**
Brent Hartigan, foot, 3 weeks
**Last week, the club was playing down Simmonds' condition, calling it a virus. However, it is much more serious. Simmonds complained of shortness of breath and tightness in his chest after the Round 18 match against Geelong. He was briefly hospitalized afterward, but was again admitted last weekend for a series of tests. Those tests revealed that Simmonds had developed a potentially fatal blood clot in his lung, also called a pulmonary embolism. Simmonds remained in the hospital for intensive treatment involving the administration of anti-coagulants through an IV. He will also continue on the medication in tablet form for the next six months. Sports doctor Peter Brukner, who himself had a blood clot on the lung three months ago, said the clot was caused by a deep-vein thrombosis that travels to the lung and causes damage to lung tissue. According to Brukner, if not treated, the clot can block circulation and kill. He said if Simmonds tried to play and suffered a heavy knock, it might cause serious internal bleeding. Simmonds therefore will miss the remainder of the season
