In good news for the club, Glenn Archer this week returns from a foot injury and will join Anthony Stevens as playing the third most games (292) for the club. Only Wayne Schimmelbusch (306) and Keith Greig (294) have donned the blue and white stripes more often.
Hale injured his hamstring yesterday at training and scans today revealed only minor damage, but he is expected to miss this week and round five against Geelong.
Grima heads the list seven players who have played fewer than 25 games of AFL football as the Roos continue their youth policy on Saturday night at Carrara.
Grima has overcome a shoulder reconstruction which ended his 2005 season, as well as persistent hamstring problems in 2006 to regain a position in the senior team.
