Hurts hand in win
Ward logged 37 disposals (16 kicks, 21 handballs) and made six marks during Saturday's 90-60 win over Collingwood. He also injured his hand, according to Callum Twomey of AFL.com.
ANALYSIS
Ward was one of the stars of the show as Giants grabbed their first win of the season and stymied a dynamic Magpie midfield. With a couple of rounds in which he barely reached 20 disposals, it's worth being a little careful when selecting Ward as 37 disposals in one match is high for any player, and he could regress to a more average spot.

Fractures finger in loss
Ward suffered a compound fracture to his middle finger on his left hand during Sunday's loss to West Coast Eagles, and he'll have to undergo surgery, according to Mitchell Cleary of afl.com.
ANALYSIS
