Melbourne forward Liam Jurrah could be facing a lengthy stint on the AFL sidelines after limping off the SCG with a suspected broken ankle. Jurrah's comeback game from a wrist complaint ended on a sour note in Saturday's 101-point loss to Sydney. The controversial forward, who faced court on Thursday on assault charges, had 12 possessions for the Demons who have made a woeful 0-8 start to the season under new coach Mark Neeld. A Demons spokesman said on Sunday any talk of a lengthy injury lay-off was pure speculation at this stage. "He's having another scan today," the spokesman said. Medical expert Peter Larkins noted Jurrah was unable to put any weight on his left ankle as he was assisted from the ground after landing awkwardly in a marking contest. "They (Melbourne) are worried about a broken ankle," Larkins said on the Seven Network. "Liam Jurrah will have a nasty ankle injury, possibly a break and miss a lot of time." Collingwood's Brownlow Medallist midfielder Dane Swan (hamstring) and All-Australian defender Ben Reid (thigh) are both likely to be out for a month. Essendon's veteran defender Dustin Fletcher (groin) is in doubt for Saturday's clash with Greater Western Sydney. Richmond defender Dylan Grimes (hamstring) is expected to miss a month, although Tigers coach Damien Hardwick said he hoped it was only a minor strain. Fletcher and Grimes were both subbed off during Saturday's clash at the MCG.
