GEELONG

Max Holmes will undergo surgery on Tuesday for a meniscus injury to his right knee which will sideline him for the medium term.

Ollie Henry, Sam De Koning and Gary Rohan will still need to be medically cleared but Simon Lloyd was optimistic about their prospects.

“Ollie Henry had the testicular rupture a couple of weeks ago and we had Sam De Koning with the facial fracture and Gary Rohan also with a minor hamstring but all three are in full training as we speak,”

“They still have a number of things they need to tick off before the medically cleared but they will be discussed for selection this week.” GM of Football Simon Lloyd.

“Jack Bowes, Pat Dangerfield and Mitch Duncan all have had minor soft tissue injuries and Shannon Neale has had a ankle injury as well, so those four players are increasing their running loads, they’re doing a lot more kicking and they’ve all go individual programs that they’re working through but they’re all very close.”

“Rhys Stanley suffered a facial fracture in the Gather Round,” he said.

“The recovering on that has been a lot slower than we first hoped but Rhys’s long-term health is what’s most important and we’ll give him all the time that he needs.

“Cam Guthrie has had issues with his big toe that’s taking a little while to settle and he’ll increase his running leads over the coming weeks.”

“Jhye Clark had a navicular stress reaction and has had some scans recently and those scans are positive. Clark will spend the next fortnight in a moonboot and then slowly start working his way back to full fitness. Pretty soon he’ll start to weight bare and again, particularly with the young players we need to think long term so we’ll be more conservative. Expected to miss a couple of months.

“Flynn Kroeger had an arthroscope on his hip at the beginning of the year and its positive, he’s starting to do some running on the Alt-G so that’s non weight baring, and again whilst it’s slower, Flynn’s attitude and his professionalism has been outstanding.”

Sam Menegola and Toby Conway both remain longer term prospects.

“Again, we need the longer term vision for both of those players but Sam Menegola has put a multitude of running sessions under his belt now and he’s moving well as it currently stands, but again he’ll need to build on that over the coming period of time,” he explained.

“In regards to Toby Conway, he’s doing a huge amount of work,” Lloyd said.

I suppose we’re looking for games of football to be played with Toby, but we also value seeing Toby doing a huge amount of work with Brad Ottens on the training track and Josh Jenkins, and he’s doing a lot of ruck work with Jonathon Ceglar and Mark Blicavs. “So he’s working on his craft, his positioning and that for us at this stage of his career is just as important as playing games.”

 

GOLD COAST

Connor Blakely will return from a calf injury which has held him out of VFL action in recent weeks.

Connor Budarick Knee 3-4 weeks. Is progressing well in his ACL rehab and is now three to four weeks away from a return to play.

“Connor has integrated back into training and we expect him to be available in the weeks after the bye,” Bull said.

“He still has a few markers to tick off, but he’s been really diligent with his rehab and we’re excited to see Connor back out there soon.”

Sean Lemmens Hamstring 4 weeks. “Sean has undergone further assessment this week which has revealed a moderate injury to his hamstring,” GC SUNS Head Physiotherapist Lindsay Bull

Lachie Weller Knee TBA  continues to manage a minor knee injury and needs to progress to full training before he is considered for selection.

Touk Miller Knee TBA   # No detailed update from club apart from “Knee TBA”

GWS

Josh Kelly suffered a hamstring strain during Sunday’s game.

Head of Medical James Rahme said the strain will sideline the star for a month.

“It’s disappointing for Josh, who has had a great season so far,” Rahme said.

“He did remarkably well to play through considering, with scans revealing a strain on Monday.”

Phil Davis will miss over a month with a calf injury sustained in the VFL on Sunday.

Harry Himmelberg and Nick Haynes will both miss this week after suffering concussions in Sunday’s match. The duo will work through the 12-day concussion protocols in a bid to be available for round 12.

HAWTHORN

Hawthorn High Performance Manager Peter Burge-

Ned Reeves “Ned had an incident during the game with his ankle, different to the mid-foot sprain that we were dealing with two weeks ago, so seperate incident,” Burge said.

“The great news is that he has pulled up really well and he was running today in straight lines with his runners and we anticipate he is going to resume training with the main group on Thursday.

“We will make further assessment, but it is looking good at this stage for the weekend.”

Josh Ward –

“Josh has a bone-overload issue and has had a week on the AlterG treadmill – it’s on the very minor-end of the spectrum of bone issues,” Burge said.

“He was boots on today training with the group and he will train again on Thursday, but we are looking more at a return next week into Round 12.

“We just want to give it the extra week, given he is younger player with a bit of bone overload, and we are not going to rush him back this week.”

Chad Wingard –

“Early last week, we weren’t too sure where that was sitting, but it became evident during the week that he hadn’t recovered from the game and had some soreness on one side in particular,” Burge said.

“He’s running now, but we will make sure that he’s absolutely right to fully train next week, rather than a rushed preparation this week.”

Changkuoth Jiath –

“At this stage we are still looking at Round 13 possibility to return, but we will see how the progression goes over the next week before we can lock that in or whether we look to go beyond that,” Burge said.

“His progression has been good over the past few days, so really now it’s about restoring full strength and moving into more dynamic activities, running and increasing that running intensity.”

MELBOURNE

Clayton Oliver will be assessed throughout the week after suffering a hamstring strain.  “Clayton had some soreness at the end of the game and following a clinical assessment from the physios and the medical team, scans have shown that he’s got a hamstring strain,”

“At this early stage, we anticipate Clayton won’t be available in the short term. 

“His return to play will ultimately be guided by his ability to deal with increase loads and reconditioning. As such, we will have greater clarity as Clayton progresses through his program.” High Performance Manager Selwyn Griffith

Jake Bowey, who was subbed off during the third quarter, has been cleared of any serious concern following a corkie to his calf.  

“We tried to get him going [during the game], but he just felt like he couldn’t perform to his role,” Griffith said. 

“He’s worked incredibly hard over the last 48 hours to get on top of that and was able to train with the group today.” 

Luke Dunstan knee. “Luke completed the full session with the group [today]…he came to Adelaide with us and has been working closely with our AFL coaches on a game day role,” Griffith said.  

“While he’s unlikely to be available this weekend, but he’s progressing really well for the following week.” 

Kye Turner (groin), Will Verrall (pelvis) and Harrison Petty (foot) are all progressing through their respective rehabilitation schedules.  

Harrison Petty (foot) 3-5 weeks

Kye Turner (groin) 3-4 weeks
