Black to play, but Maguire out

Date: June 29 2012


Relief over Simon Black escaping suspension has turned to regret for the Brisbane Lions after key defender Matt Maguire was sidelined for a month ahead of the Lions' clash with Melbourne on Sunday. Black admitted he was breathing easier after accepting a reprimand for striking Western Bulldogs tagger Liam Picken, ensuring he can help the Lions claim back-to-back wins for the first time in 13 months. ''Whenever you are cited by the match review panel and get off it's a relief,'' Black said yesterday.
