The Goannas lost Stace Creasy to a hamstring injury in Saturday’s loss to Leeton-Whitton, while the availability of Dusty Rogers is in serious doubt.
Rogers was red-carded at the eight minute mark of the final quarter and reported for allegedly kneeing his Leeton-Whitton opponent.
It was a costly mistake from Rogers as it left the Goannas a man down for the remainder of the game. They were trailing by five points at the time of the incident.
Rogers has been suspended twice this year and that will have an impact on any potential penalties.
The double blow comes on top of Jared Kahlefeldt hurting his hamstring at training last Thursday night.
He hopes to be right for Sunday, while Pat Killalea and Nathan Hunter are also potential inclusions for the sudden-death final at Exies Oval.
