Young Crow Rory Sloane will miss about six weeks with his injured ankle.

Sloane, who was playing only his second AFL game on Sunday, strained ligaments at the top of his left ankle when his leg was caught under a Fremantle opponent in a tackle.

Scott Stevens (concussion) will rest for the next couple of days before any decision is made on his availability for Sunday’s first home game of the 2010 season against Sydney on Sunday.

Brett Burton (knee) and Chris Knights (foot) are both expected to train fully later this week. Burton, who has been training with the group for a week, expects to be available to play this weekend and Knights is also a chance to be given the all clear.

Graham Johncock, who fractured a bone in his thumb at training last Thursday, will miss two or three more games.
