Early prognosis
There’s been a big setback for Talia as he neared a return following foot surgery. The key defender felt some soreness in the foot while running last week and is now out indefinitely, depending on how the latest flare-up settles. Murphy has got out of the moon boot following his syndesmosis surgery and is expecting to run on the Alter-G treadmill next week. – Michael Whiting

Wright looks set to miss another week after being a late withdrawal against West Coast with a calf injury. Hurley has been moved to the club’s inactive list, which means he is almost certain to not play this season. – Callum Twomey

Early prognosis
The bye has come at a good time for the Giants, as a long injury list seemed to finally take its toll in a lacklustre start against the Lions. The rehab room should start to look emptier on the other side of the bye, with superstar forward Greene and fellow leaders Davis and de Boer all nearing a return. Greene’s shoulder injury is recovering quicker than initially expected but captain Coniglio’s ankle is taking longer than hoped to improve. Inaugural Giant Adam Kennedy has returned from a long-term shoulder injury and joined his teammates in a scrimmage against Richmond last week. – Martin Pegan

The Kangaroos will use the bye to hopefully get a host of players fit. Among them will be Hayden, McGuinness, Polec and Stephenson. However, Walker has suffered a corkie after returning from a thumb injury. Tarrant wasn’t able to return through the VFL last week due to all games being postponed, but has been training strongly. – Riley Beveridge

Lienert suffered concussion in the SANFL and will now follow AFL concussion protocols. Butters is expected to start running this week after recent surgery around his left knee. – Nathan Schmook

Fox might also play after recovering from an accidental poke in the eye against Fremantle. Melican reinjured his hamstring in training last week while Reid has had a couple of setbacks with his calf, both now set to be sidelined until after the Swans’ bye in round 14. Ben Ronke has returned from a long-term knee injury and had a run with the VFL group last week. – Martin Pegan

Garcia will miss this week after being substituted out of his debut last week with concussion. Dunkley, Treloar and Vandermeer are still up to two months off returns, however Wood is making steady progress with his hamstring injury. – Callum Twomey

Updates on Will Day?
Chances he is back next week post bye?
Was looking at bringing in Touk next week, suddenly hesitant knowing Rowell will be back soon.
For those that need a cheaper M8, Rowell is also a good shout in a few weeks depending on his scoring.
I don’t know Abs, 495k is a lot of money for a guy who’s only averaging 6 on the year.
West Coast : Tim Kelly – Knee. 4 weeks.
West Coast : Alex Witherden – groin. 4-5 weeks. “We won’t rush that and just monitor his response to each of those progressions.” Mark Finucane, physiotherapist
Is Hurn on any coaches radar this week.?
after his bye for me, should only rise 25k max
Stuck in a dilemma. Can’t field 18 this round due to rookie carnage. Which is the better way to roll; (Going kozchie > Mills)
