Watch every game of every round this Toyota AFL Premiership Season LIVE with no ad-breaks during play on Kayo. New to Kayo?Although McKay will be fit to face the Power, the Blues will lose wingman Blake Acres and injured ruckman Tom De Koning. He said he would support a push from the AFL Doctors’ Association to stop play after head knocks and make it mandatory for players to be assessed off the field.
Voss said De Koning, whose home-and-away season is over after suffering a collapsed lung and broken foot in the win over the Roos, was recovering well in hospital and would be released “in the next day or two”. The Blues hope Acres will only miss one week with his foot issue, but Voss said Acres had been unable to train to the level required to face Port Adelaide.
