Neale could be sidelined for up to eight weeks following the surgery.

This would take it back to when they first came around and the end result is you picked genuine base priced donuts in the backs (would be forwards these days) and had extra midfielders on the pine. I can distinctly remember winning a copy of AFL monopoly for the weekly prize with a team that had Akermanis and Cousins as my emergencies in DT back in the day 
Dunkley out for 3-4 months
https://www.westernbulldogs.com.au/news/921724/surgery-for-dunkley-jong
Dunkley dislocated his shoulder in the final quarter. He had scans today which confirmed he will require a reconstruction.
The star midfielder will face a significant period on the sidelines after a prolific start to 2021, where he has averaged more than 30 disposals and five clearances per game across the opening six rounds.
“Although we were initially optimistic that Josh may be able to avoid surgery, subsequent scans have confirmed the best way to manage Josh in the short-to-medium term is to have a full shoulder reconstruction,” head of sports medicine, Chris Bell, said.
“This surgery will be completed tomorrow. At this stage, we expect Josh to miss the next 3-4 months.”

By Loukas Founten - Just now
PORT ADELAIDE defender Riley Bonner has been cleared to return to play after recovering from a hamstring tendon injury sustained in round 1.
Despite suffering the injury only 6 weeks ago in the victory over North Melbourne, Bonner has been training strongly, and will be available for selection this week.
There were no new injuries out of Sunday night’s win over St Kilda but forward Trent Burgoyne injured his right hamstring in the SANFL game against Glenelg, and will have scans on Tuesday to assess the extent of the injury.
Defender Lachie Jones had successful surgery during the week after a syndesmosis injury, while Zak Butters is continuing his rehabilitation two weeks on from surgery for a similar injury.
Midfielder Jackson Mead is home from hospital and recovering from a lacerated spleen suffered in the SANFL Round 3 game against South Adelaide. He will not be allowed to train for a period while he recovers.
Young forward Ollie Lord is expected to miss a second game with a minor calf strain but experienced backman Tyson Goldsack is nearing a return from a knee injury.
Port Adelaide faces Brisbane at the Gabba on Saturday night from 7:25pm AEST / 6:55pm ACST.
The selected team will be named on Friday evening at 5:50pm ACST.

I think a fair way could be we set one emergency for each line, which covers our first player out in each line. If we cop second player out, we just get the lowest scoring bench player from all lines (including all E's and non E's) that hasn't already been included in our 22. Lowest score kind of recognises a player is playing out of position, so may not score as well, but is better than a donut. I think NRL SC does something like this??
