Early prognosis

McKay didn’t make it to quarter-time in the VFL after playing the first three rounds in the AFL, while Taylor Garner (groin/quad) played two quarters in his return after a fortnight out and came through unscathed. Defender Murphy is set for a stint on the sidelines because of his ankle injury from the same VFL contest. Williams, Durdin, McKenzie and Xerri may miss just one more game each if things go well. Bailey Scott and Irishman Red Og Murphy were both rested at the weekend. – Marc McGowan

Early prognosis

Amon has made good progress from a knee injury and could play at some level this weekend. It’d be unlikely he’d come straight back into the AFL side for the Power’s Good Friday encounter with West Coast at Optus Stadium. Hartlett could also return in the SANFL for Port’s encounter with Norwood at Coopers Stadium on Thursday night. There’s still no timeline on Dixon’s recovery from a leg injury. – Lee Gaskin

Early prognosis
|
After a horror few weeks, just the one addition for the Tigers with young defender Markov tearing the meniscus in his right knee in the VFL. He will require surgery. Key forward Riewoldt is getting closer to a return, but with a four-day break between rounds five and six for the Tigers, expect him to be held over for the Anzac Day Eve clash with Melbourne. Houli is once again a test after he was a late withdrawal last week due to a persistent hamstring strain – Sarah Black. |

Early prognosis

A right ankle concern for Parker, sustained during the win over Hawthorn, is cause for concern, but he played out the second half. Austin needs a left shoulder operation and faces a long stint on the sidelines. The club says Steven is sore but haven’t identified a specific ailment, but it hopes he will be available to face Melbourne on Saturday. – Dinny Navaratnam

Menzel should be ready to resume playing in the NEAFL over the next fortnight if he can get some solid training in and pulls up well. Isaac Heeney (hip) copped another solid knock in last week’s loss to Melbourne and pulled up sore after the game, but he’ll be fine to face Richmond. – Adam Curley |

Jetta was involved in a light training run on Monday and showed no signs of hamstring tightness which kept him out of the Western Derby. Rioli was back on the field at Subiaco Oval, albeit doing very little, while Naitanui is in the ‘pre-season’ phase of his training ahead of a comeback predicted to be within the next two months. – Travis King |

Another clean bill of health at AFL level following a 14-point loss to Collingwood on Friday night. Forward Greene hurt his ankle in a tackle during a VFL win and is expected to miss several weeks. Footscray has a bye in the upcoming round but Cavarra, Khamis and Vandermeer could all be available the next time the side is selected. – Paul Bastin |
*Placed on the club’s long-term injury list
Cant believe I trusted Greene in my starting squad
And fyfe and rockliff lol.
Likewise. He’s gone already.
Plus he was listed as 1 week four weeks ago!
still holding him , obviously cant trust GWS with their injury timelines
Would love to know exactly how many Sam Jacobs will miss. O’Brien’s projections are very tempting!
Agreed, ‘TBC’ isn’t terribly helpful. I’ve heard four weeks from people on here, but I don’t know if that’s accurate.
https://m.afl.com.au/news/2019-04-16/crows-ruckman-to-miss-another-week-no-timeline-on-return
We’ll know more in the next 48hrs apparently.
So with the fwd rookies not doing great, and missing or possibly missing games this week, thoughts on either Parker, setterfield to daniher if named? Used for a stepping stone, they have said he will be rested, but a rookie can replace him for a round.
If he actually is fit could go a 80-85ave.
Fyfe to face giants is good news for Fyfe owners

Unless he gets tagged by De Boer lol.
