Keidean Coleman's wretched run with injury has continued, after being pulled from the second quarter of Brisbane's clash with Fremantle, due to a hamstring complaint.
The 26-year-old halfback has endured a torrid run with injury in recent years, condemned to watch from the sidelines as his teammates claimed back to back premierships.
ACL and quad complaints have robbed him of significant time, as he should be entering the prime of his career.
Coleman's injury suddenly leaves the Lions vulnerable across the half-back line, with crucial veteran Dayne Zorko out for another five matches through soft tissue issues himself.
Keidean Coleman (hamstring) will take no further part in today's game.

The absences of both men open the door for Darcy Wilmot and Jaspa Fletcher to truly establish themselves as prime drivers of the Lions offence, kickstarting chains when possession is won back.
The AFL has seen a significant uptick in soft tissue complaints this year, leaving rule makers to weigh up whether or not to their obsessive desire with speeding up play is worth the scourge of injuries facing the playing fraternity.
