Zac Taylor (thumb) 3-4 weeks. Broke his thumb in the SANFL. “Zac unfortunately injured his thumb in a contest, there’s a small fracture there but it’s pretty well aligned and we don’t think at this stage it will need any surgery so we anticipate he’ll be three to four weeks away,” Adelaide High Performance Manager Darren Burgess
