Injury List Rd19

Written by Schwarzwalder on July 23 2019

ADELAIDE

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

 Tom Doedee  Knee  Season
 Cam Ellis-Yolmen  Shin  1-2 weeks
 Paul Hunter  Foot  Indefinite
 Shane McAdam  Illness  Test
 Ned McHenry  Back  2 weeks
 Andrew McPherson  Hamstring  Indefinite
 Myles Poholke  Calf  2 weeks
 Taylor Walker  Elbow  Test
 Updated: Tuesday, July 23

Early prognosis

The Crows expect co-captain Walker to be ready to face Carlton at the MCG on Saturday. Walker hyperextended his elbow in last weekend’s loss to Essendon, that aggravated a previous injury from the loss to Geelong a few weeks earlier. Ellis-Yolmen is at least another week away and he will progress to over-ground running this week. McPherson has suffered yet another setback, this time injuring his hamstring late in the Crows’ SANFL clash with North Adelaide. Hunter could miss the rest of the season with a mid-foot Lisfranc ligament sprain sustained in the same game. – Lee Gaskin

BRISBANE

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

 Tom Cutler  Foot  Test
 Mitch Hinge  Hamstring  4-5 weeks
 Brandon Starcevich  Quad  Test
 Updated: Tuesday, July 23

Early prognosis

A setback for Cutler as he recovers from a foot problem. The wingman was originally slated to return at the weekend but the injury hasn’t settled down as the club initially hoped and now he’s still another few weeks away. – Michael Whiting 

CARLTON

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

 David Cuningham  Knee  Test
 Charlie Curnow  Knee  Season
 Sam Docherty  Knee  Season
 Hugh Goddard  Fractured cheekbone  Test
 Caleb Marchbank  Neck  Season
 Mitch McGovern  Conditioning  Indefinite
 Tom Williamson  Back  Season
 Updated: Tuesday, July 23

Early prognosis

The Blues have made the decision to rule Curnow out for the rest of the season due to persistent pain in his knee. However, there is some good news for the club. Cuningham is back running following his own knee problem, while Goddard is also in contention for a return after fracturing his cheekbone a fortnight ago. – Riley Beveridge

COLLINGWOOD

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

 James Aish  Shoulder  TBC
 Dayne Beams  Hip/mental health  Indefinite
 Lynden Dunn  Knee  Season
 Jamie Elliott  General soreness  Test
 Levi Greenwood  Hamstring  TBC
 Will Kelly  Hamstring  TBC
 Tom Langdon  Knee  Season
 Chris Mayne  Knee  Test
 Darcy Moore  Hamstring  2-3 weeks
 Nathan Murphy  Back  TBC
 Sam Murray  Provisional ASADA suspension  TBC
 John Noble  Calf  TBC
 Ben Reid  Hamstring  TBC
 Jaidyn Stephenson  Suspended  5 weeks
 Josh Thomas  Hip  Test
 Anton Tohill  Hip  Test
 Daniel Wells  Knee  5 weeks
 Updated: Tuesday, July 23

Early prognosis

Aish will be sidelined but Mayne remains a chance and Elliott could return to face Richmond at the MCG on Friday night. Greenwood and Noble will again miss out and Thomas will be assessed, while Moore will miss at least another fortnight with a “minor” hamstring injury. Reid faces an uphill battle to play again this season after another setback, while Murphy’s return has been delayed by another week, and Kelly is also being managed conservatively. Stephenson will be available at finals time while Wells will race the clock to return before season’s end. But the campaign seems over for Langdon and veterans Dunn and Beams, with the latter now taking indefinite leave to deal with his mental issues. – Ben Collins

ESSENDON

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

 Tom Bellchambers  Calf  2-3 weeks
 Zac Clarke  Illness  Available
 Joe Daniher  Groin  Season
 Sam Draper  Knee  Season
 Orazio Fantasia  Hip  Test
 Dyson Heppell  Foot  Test
 Michael Hurley  Shoulder  5-7 weeks
 Jayden Laverde  Soreness  Available
 Irving Mosquito  Hamstring  2-3 weeks
 Kobe Mutch  Knee  TBC
 Devon Smith  Knee  Season
 James Stewart  Groin  TBC
 Updated: Tuesday, July 23

Early prognosis

There is serious doubt over the fitness of Heppell (foot) and Fantasia (hip) for this week’s trip to Gold Coast. However, the Bombers should regain ruckman Clarke after he missed last week’s win over Adelaide with illness. Laverde should also come back into the team after being managed for the clash, while important pair Bellchambers and Hurley are some time away with their respective injuries.  Callum Twomey

FREMANTLE

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

 Brennan Cox  Hip  1 week
 Nat Fyfe  Elbow  Test
 Stefan Giro  Knee  Season
 Stephen Hill  Quad  TBC
 Jesse Hogan  Foot  Season
 Scott Jones  Calf  1 week
 Shane Kersten  Foot  TBC
 Rory Lobb  Shoulder  TBC
 Lloyd Meek  Foot  Season
 Alex Pearce  Ankle  Season
 Matt Taberner  Foot  Season
 Updated: Tuesday, July 23

Early prognosis

Fyfe was in hospital last week on a drip dealing with an infection in his troublesome right elbow but is hopeful of boarding the plane to face the Bulldogs. Lobb has undergone scans after his shoulder partially popped out in the late stages of the one-point win over Sydney. Hill was withdrawn from the clash due to more quad soreness and there is a watch on Aaron Sandilands to see how he pulls up from his second game back. Hogan has undergone more surgery on his navicular bone in his foot after a recurrence ended his season, with a four-month rehab ahead. – Travis King

GEELONG

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

 Nakia Cockatoo  Knee  Test
 Jordan Cunico  Ankle  2 weeks
 Zach Guthrie  Ankle  TBC
 Nathan Kreuger  Knee  TBC
 Brandan Parfitt  Back  Test
 Updated: Tuesday, July 23

Early prognosis

Parfitt is a week-to-week proposition with his back, however he’s seen as more unlikely than likely to face the Swans. Cockatoo is nearing a VFL return and could play as soon as this weekend, while Cunico is stepping up his training. Kreuger and Guthrie both sustained injuries in the VFL on Saturday.Mitch Cleary

GOLD COAST

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

 Callum Ah Chee  Ankle  4 weeks
 Ben Ainsworth  Foot  Test
 Jack Bowes  Quad  Test
 Will Brodie  Hamstring  Season
 Sam Collins  Hip  Season
 Brayden Crossley  Personal leave  TBC
 Nick Holman  Back  Season
 Jack Martin  Finger  1-2 weeks
 Jordan Murdoch  Quad  Test
 Wil Powell  Knee  Season
 Izak Rankine  Hip  TBC
 Mitch Riordan  Calf  3-4 weeks
 Rory Thompson  Knee  Season
 Harrison Wigg  Knee  Season
 Aaron Young  Knee  3-4 weeks
 Updated: Tuesday, July 23

Early prognosis

Finally some good news with Bowes and Ainsworth set to return after lengthy stints on the sidelines. Murdoch is also due back after missing a few weeks, while Martin is coming back quickly than expected and could be back in a week. – Michael Whiting

GREATER WESTERN SYDNEY

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

 Stephen Coniglio  Knee  7 weeks
 Aidan Corr  Calf  1 week
 Isaac Cumming  Hamstring  2 weeks
 Matt de Boer  Shoulder  3 weeks
 Matt Flynn  Knee  Season
 Josh Kelly  Calf  2 weeks
 Adam Kennedy  Illness  TBC
 Zac Langdon  Ankle  7 weeks
 Xavier O’Halloran  Knee  1 week
 Jonathon Patton  Knee  TBC
 Tommy Sheridan  Calf  1 week
 Callan Ward  Knee  Season
 Updated: Tuesday, July 23

Early prognosis

Phil Davis was a late withdrawal from last week’s win over Collingwood with soreness but has trained this week and been cleared to face Port Adelaide. Kennedy is a chance to play after he was sent to hospital to check an elevated heart rate during the NEAFL game on Saturday. The defender had more tests on Tuesday. Kelly will miss another couple of games and looks set to return against Hawthorn in Canberra in round 21, while de Boer could be back the following week. – Adam Curley

HAWTHORN

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

 Grant Birchall  Soreness  Test
 Jarman Impey  Knee  Season
 Harry Jones  Knee  Season
 Darren Minchington  Hamstring  TBC
 Tom Mitchell  Broken leg  Indefinite
 Tim Mohr  Dislocated knee/ACL  Season
 Dylan Moore  Groin  1 week
 Harry Morrison  Back spasms  Test
 Ryan Schoenmakers  Calf  2 weeks
 Jack Scrimshaw  Knee  2 weeks
 Updated: Tuesday, July 23

Early prognosis

Impey’s season is over after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee on Sunday, as well as sustaining damage to his lateral ligament. He underwent a knee reconstruction on Tuesday. Birchall was a late withdrawal last week and the Hawks are hopeful he can return against Brisbane on Saturday. He still looked a bit ginger on Tuesday, so the club’s main session on Thursday will likely be the key to his hopes. Minchington’s hamstring setback in the VFL was his third for the year and came at a time he was pushing for senior selection. Moore and Morrison are edging closer after multiple games out, but Scrimshaw and Schoenmakers continue to progress slowly. – Marc McGowan

MELBOURNE

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

 Jeff Garlett  Shoulder  Season
 Marty Hore  Collarbone  1-2 weeks
 Kade Kolodjashnij  Head  TBC
 Tom McDonald  Knee  Season
 Jake Melksham  Foot  2-3 weeks
 Aaron Nietschke  Knee  Season
 Joel Smith  Groin  Season
 Tom Sparrow  Knee  2-3 weeks
 Billy Stretch  Foot  2-3 weeks
 Aaron vandenBerg  Ankle  TBC
 Jack Viney  Concussion  TBC
 Guy Walker  Shoulder  Indefinite
 Sam Weideman  Calf  Test
 Updated: Tuesday, July 23

Early prognosis

Just the one player has come off Melbourne’s lengthy injury list, with Tim Smith playing VFL after a calf injury. Weideman didn’t play at either level after being listed as a test last week. Co-captain Viney suffered a concussion in the first half of the loss to West Coast, with the club to confirm later this week whether he will be fit for this week’s clash with St Kilda.Sarah Black

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

Taylor Garner  Club suspension  Available  Aaron Hall  Personal leave  Indefinite  Kyron Hayden  Achilles  Season  Ben Jacobs  Head/neck  Season  Luke McDonald  Fractured fibula  Season  Tom McKenzie   Back  TBC  Bailey Scott  Foot  Indefinite  Scott Thompson  Ruptured testicle  Test  Dom Tyson  Calf  Test  Ed Vickers-Willis  Knee  Season  Will Walker  Knee  TBC  Updated: Monday, July 22

Early prognosis

Shaun Higgins (AC joint) and Mason Wood (quad) successfully returned to the senior side against Brisbane, while Thompson will have to pass a fitness test for his fresh injury. Tom Murphy (ankle) resumed in the VFL and played three quarters, as did Majak Daw (pelvis/hips) in his third game back on Sunday. The Roos held Garner out of the VFL last weekend to ensure he would be fit for a potential shock AFL call-up this week. Nick Larkey will continue to play before undergoing minor post-season heart surgery, after being diagnosed with Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), but Jacobs‘ season is predictably over. There is good news for Tyson, who is no longer ‘to be confirmed’ and could feasibly return this weekend if declared fit. – Marc McGowan

PORT ADELAIDE

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

 Ryan Burton  Hamstring  4-6 weeks
 Tobin Cox  Kidney  Indefinite
 Brad Ebert  Knee  6-8 weeks
 Billy Frampton  Suspension  1 week
 Riley Grundy  Finger  Test
 Dan Houston  Concussion  Test
 Jake Patmore  Knee  Season
 Jack Watts  Leg  Indefinite
 Ollie Wines  Thumb  Test
 Updated: Tuesday, July 23

Early prognosis

Co-captain Wines is an outside chance to return for Saturday night’s clash with Greater Western Sydney at Adelaide Oval. Wines will train with a splint on his fractured thumb, but he’s more likely to return next week. Houston will have to pass concussion tests this week after sustaining a head knock in the Power’s loss to Richmond. Ebert won’t play again this season unless the Power make the finals with a torn PCL in his knee, while Burton will miss at least a month with a hamstring injury. Rookie-listed forward Cox will see a specialist on Friday to see if he is a chance to return this season from a lacerated kidney. – Lee Gaskin

RICHMOND

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

 Jack Higgins  Brain bleed  Season
 Callum Moore  Ankle  3-4 weeks
 Marlion Pickett  Finger  1-2 weeks
 Alex Rance  Knee  Season
 Jack Ross  Ankle  3-4 weeks
 Fraser Turner  Leg  2-3 weeks
 Mav Weller  Ribs  Test
 Updated: Tuesday, July 23

Early prognosis

Tiger fans may have to wait another week for mid-season recruit Pickett to make his debut, with the midfielder listed as unavailable. Weller missed last weekend’s VFL match with a rib complaint after being added to the injury list early last week. Moore and Ross continue to hover around the 3-4 week mark, with the club being cautious with its young talent. – Sarah Black

ST KILDA

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

 David Armitage  Concussion  Test
 Logan Austin  Shoulder  Indefinite
 Josh Battle  Knee  Test
 Jack Bytel  Back  Season
 Jarryn Geary  Leg  3-5 weeks
 Dan Hannebery  Hamstring  Test
 Dean Kent  Quad  Season
 Max King  Ankle  Season
 Billy Longer  Concussion  Indefinite
 Paddy McCartin  Concussion  Season
 Lewis Pierce  Concussion  Indefinite
 Dylan Roberton  Heart  Season
 Jimmy Webster  Back  Test
 Updated: Tuesday, July 23

Early prognosis

Hannebery could return for Saturday night’s clash with Melbourne. Webster hasn’t been seen since round eight but could finally be back, probably via the VFL. Sam Rowe hurt an ankle playing for Sandringham but has overcome that issue.Dinny Navaratnam

SYDNEY

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

 Darcy Cameron  Quad  2-3 weeks
 Harry Cunningham  Groin  1-2 weeks
 Lance Franklin  Hamstring  2-3 weeks
 Matthew Ling  Achilles  2-3 weeks
 Jack Maibaum  Knee  Season
 Jarrad McVeigh  Calf  3 weeks
 Callum Sinclair  Shoulder  Season
 Nick Smith  Hamstring  Season
 Durak Tucker  Hamstring  TBC
 Updated: Tuesday, July 23

 Early prognosis

Franklin is at least another two games away after feeling some soreness last week, while Sinclair had season-ending surgery on Monday. In good news for the Swans, unlucky ruckman Sam Naismith will play in the NEAFL this week, his first game since 2017. – Adam Curley

WEST COAST

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

 Brendon Ah Chee  Calf  Test
 Patrick Bines  Hernia  1 week
 Jamie Cripps  Adductor  2-3 weeks
 Liam Duggan  Ankle  2-3 weeks
 Harry Edwards  Foot  1 week
 Luke Foley  Calf  Test
 Shannon Hurn  Calf  Test
 Mark Hutchings  Hamstring  1 week
 Jeremy McGovern  Ankle  Test
 Nic Naitanui  Ankle  Indefinite
 Josh Smith  Hamstring  TBC
 Nathan Vardy  Ankle/Knee  Test
 Daniel Venables  Concussion  Season
 Updated: Tuesday, July 23

Early prognosis

McGovern looks set to be cleared to take on North Melbourne this Saturday after tweaking his ankle late in the win over the Demons, but Hurn looks more doubtful due to the calf tightness which kept him out of that clash. Vardy and Ah Chee were running strongly last week and shouldn’t be far away from returning, ditto for Hutchings, while Cripps has also started running. – Travis King

WESTERN BULLDOGS

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

 Ben Cavarra  Shoulder  Test
 Ryan Gardner  Knee  6-7 weeks
 Fergus Greene  Shoulder  Season
 Toby McLean  Hamstring  1-2 weeks
 Ed Richards  Hamstring  Test
 Josh Schache  Concussion  Test
 Laitham Vandermeer  Calf  Test
 Mitch Wallis  Ankle  Indefinite
 Updated: Tuesday, July 23

Early prognosis

Forward Schache sustained a concussion after a heavy landing in the third quarter of the loss to St Kilda. Half-forward Richards is a chance to return to the side after missing last week with hamstring tightness. Injury-riddled utility Lukas Webb has been taken off the injury list and will be eyeing a return for Footscray after their bye this weekend.

  1. Friggin calf’s s#$t me!! I panicked and traded Hurn for Dureya, when he was a late out ,even though I had cover!! Derailed my whole season. What was I thinking, and no Gawn. Traded Logue for Whitfield and spent the leftovers on Hill.Left me with one trade. Covered on all lines now.

  3. If I can’t afford Whitfield this week, is Houli a worthy alternative?

    TU: go for Houli
    TD: burn an extra trade, get Whit
