Brisbane Lions forward Cam Rayner says the club will rally around Noah Answerth, who suffered an Achilles injury and was in a moon boot after the match, but other players will “fill that void” with their teammate out.
“We’ll rally around him, as we always do,” said Rayner after Brisbane’s convincing victory over the down-and-out Blues.
“It’s obviously a really tough injury … talking about me going down at half-time [with my minor injury] – he was on the crutches and asking how I was.
“That just speaks volume of his character.
“It’s a little bit unfortunate for him, and we’ll rally around him.
“But at this footy club we’ve got a lot of players who’ll step up, and hopefully we can fill that void.”
