McDonald‘s season is over after sustaining a fracture near his right ankle. Higgins is pushing to return after almost six weeks out and a call will be made later in the week on his readiness. Wood was a late withdrawal in round 17 and is expected to be fit, while club medicos believe Larkey‘s ongoing heart-related issue is only minor. – Marc McGowan

Early prognosis
|
Ebert sustained a torn posterior cruciate ligament in his knee in the Power’s loss to Brisbane. The Power haven’t released a timeline for his return, but he’s likely to miss several weeks. It’s a similar scenario for Burton after the defender injured his right hamstring. He’s expected to miss at least a month. Co-captain Wines fractured his left thumb in the opening quarter of the Power’s loss to Brisbane. He played out the game, but is in doubt to face Richmond at the MCG on Saturday. Houston is expected to recover from illness in time to take on the Tigers after he was a late scratching from the side that lost to the Lions. Frampton accepted a two-game suspension for a crude hit on Adelaide midfielder Patrick Wilson that left him concussed in last weekend’s SANFL game in Port Pirie. McKenzie suffered back spasms in the same game, and will be assessed this week. – Lee Gaskin

The big news out of Tigerland this week is first-choice ruck Nankervis is a definite chance to take on Port Adelaide this weekend. Balta, Baker and Weller are also tests, but less likely to play than Nankervis. – Sarah Black |

Early prognosis

Cunningham pulled up sore after the loss to Carlton and will miss at least a couple of games. McVeigh strained his calf in his return to the field from a hamstring injury last week in a big blow for the veteran, while Cameron re-injured his quad at training last week. Franklin remains at least three weeks away, while Sinclair is progressing slowly from his dislocated shoulder. Naismith is on track to play in round 19 at NEAFL level. – Adam Curley

As if the one-point loss to Collingwood wasn’t tough enough to take, Naitanui’s potentially season-ending syndesmosis injury has rubbed salt into the wounds. Cripps could be battling to be back for finals and the injuries to key personnel are starting to pile up at the wrong time, with concerns over veteran spearhead Josh Kennedy’s battle-scarred body as well. – Travis King

Bontempelli is in doubt for this week after injuring one of the ligaments in his ankle, and McLean is going to miss a few weeks after hurting his hamstring. Liberatore and Daniel will be touch and go this weekend, but it’s worse news for Wallis, who will require ankle surgery. – Josh Schonafinger

*Placed on the club’s long-term injury list
The Bont better get up. Mids are dropping like flies!
Game of Thrones anyone??…all my favourites are getting bumped.
Ugh, I traded him in last week 🙁
The AFL to release a list of fit players next week just to make it simpler.
Who do I trade last in trading two this week due to long term injuries
TU Coniglio
TD Darcy Moore
Comment Natinui
Got 5 trades left before this and got 150k in the bank
Natanui
Depends where your coverage is. Cover your doughnuts first.
Got coverage for Coniglio and Moore but not natinui however Gawn is expected a huge drop this week with a be of 220 should I just cop a donut this week to be able to get him on the cheap this week
TU hold a week and save 40k but cop a donut
TD get the points in as soon as you can and don’t worry about the cash
If league, cop it. If going overall, try to get coverage.
Daniel surely comes back in this week I need him!
Is it worth trading kelly to someone like Treloar?
I have 4 trades left, currently Kelly is being covered by ‘Clarke’.
Am thinking hold. Sitting 4th and 2nd in my h2h comps.
TU – Trade
TD – Trade
