BRISBANE has suffered a major blow with full-back Daniel Merrett ruled out for up to four weeks with an ankle injury.
Merrett suffered the injury in the first quarter of the Lions' 36-point win over Adelaide at the Gabba last Saturday night.
The club had been hopeful that Merrett would be right to play against St Kilda at Etihad Stadium on Sunday but scans revealed ligament damage to his right ankle which will sideline him for up to a month.
Fellow defender Joel Patfull has undergone surgery on his broken jaw and is set to miss four to five weeks.
Meanwhile, midfielder Troy Selwood has been ruled out of the clash against the Saints with concussion after failing to satisfy the club's medicos of his fitness.
