Updated: Tuesday, April 30 |
Early prognosis |

Milera has avoided shoulder surgery after his collision in the round five win against Gold Coast and should be back within a month.

Nic Newman | Knee | 3 weeks |

Kade Simpson | Hamstring | 3 weeks |
Updated: Tuesday, April 30 |
Early prognosis |
---|
It’s a double blow for the Blues backline, with Simpson and Newman to miss most of the next month due to respective injury issues. Kreuzer will miss this week’s clash with North Melbourne due to tightness in his adductor, though the Blues expect Curnow to return from knee soreness. – Riley Beveridge |

Updated: Tuesday, April 30 |
Early prognosis |
---|
Livewire forward Elliott appears a certain starter against Port Adelaide at Marvel Stadium on Friday night after missing the Anzac Day clash with Essendon and defender Aish also appears likely to return. Fellow backman Appleby and midfielder Sier could return in the VFL. Mayne, Murphy and Tyler Brown will be out for about another month each, while Scharenberg won’t be far behind them as he comes back from a third knee reconstruction. The season seems over for veteran Dunn after a second anterior cruciate ligament rupture in nine months. – Ben Collins |

Griffin Logue | Hamstring | Test |
Aaron Sandilands | Calf | TBC |
Sam Sturt | Concussion | TBC |
Updated: Tuesday, April 30 |
Early prognosis |
---|
Logue should be ready to play his first game since pre-season after falling short of a WAFL return last round, while Connor Blakely will be in the mix for senior selection having come through his return from a major hamstring injury successfully with 20 touches for Peel. Bennell is back running and aiming to return to main training in 2-3 weeks following his latest calf setback, while Ballantyne, Hill and Kersten are back running but some way off returning. – Travis King |

Brandan Parfitt | Quad | Test |
Scott Selwood | Hamstring | Test |
Updated: Tuesday, April 30 |
Early prognosis |
---|
After missing one week with a minor quad strain, Parfitt will be put through his paces this week ahead of selection. Selwood, Henderson and Fogarty are also chances to return from injuries via the VFL. Bews’ battle with osteitis pubis continues to be a long grind. – Mitch Cleary |

Brett Deledio | Calf | 1 week |
Jonathon Patton | Knee | TBC |
Tommy Sheridan | Calf | 4 weeks |
Callan Ward | Knee | Season |
Lachie Whitfield | Corked thigh/hip flexor | Test |
Updated: Tuesday, April 30 |
Early prognosis |
---|
The Giants have all but ruled out Whitfield but should have Coniglio available to face St Kilda, while Davis is also a chance to come back. Deledio is on track to push for selection next week, while in further good news for GWS, youngsters Harry Perryman (lung) and Jye Caldwell (groin) will play in the NEAFL. – Adam Curley |

Tim Mohr | Dislocated knee/ACL | Season |
Jackson Ross | Hamstring soreness | Test |
Updated: Tuesday, April 30 |
Early prognosis |
---|
This is as healthy as the Hawks have been in several weeks, and Burgoyne is set to be a welcome addition. Cousins tweaked an ankle but will miss this weekend through suspension, anyway, while Brand played out Sunday’s match despite hurting his right shoulder. Key defender Koschitzke and exciting forward Ross sat out Box Hill’s VFL game last week. – Marc McGowan |

Guy Walker | Shoulder | Indefinite |
Updated: Tuesday, April 30 |
Early prognosis |
---|
Viney will be sidelined for the next fortnight with an injury to the AC joint in his shoulder, but thankfully the co-captain has avoided surgery. Preuss will have to pass a fitness test to be cleared to play while Neal-Bullen was sore after the game against the Tigers and will have to be assessed to ensure he’s right to play versus the Hawks. – Ben Guthrie |

Early prognosis |
---|
Williams could finally be ready to return after last playing in round two and it would be timely if McDonald fails to recover. Higgins will be fine to play this week after being a late out last week. Durdin is set for his first game of the year in the VFL, while McKay and Tyson will push to play after missing the past fortnight. – Marc McGowan |

Sam Hayes | Knee | 2-4 weeks |
Tom Jonas | Calf | 1 week |
Jake Patmore | Knee | Season |
Jack Watts | Leg | Indefinite |
Updated: Tuesday, April 30 |
Early prognosis |
---|
Jonas will miss Friday night’s clash with Collingwood at Marvel Stadium with a minor calf complaint. The Power co-captain was a late scratching from last Friday night’s win against North Melbourne after injuring his calf at training last Wednesday. Gray will be sidelined for a month after he had surgery on his broken hand last Sunday. Hartlett will be out for a month with issues from the graft site in his hamstring from his ACL operation last year. – Lee Gaskin |
RICHMOND
Player |
Injury |
Estimated Return |
---|---|---|

Oleg Markov | Knee | 1 week |
Alex Rance | Knee | Season |
Jack Riewoldt | PCL | 6-8 weeks |
Jayden Short | Elbow | Indefinite |
Maverick Weller | Back | Test |
Updated: Tuesday, April 30 |
Early prognosis |
---|
After recovering from a wrist injury, Riewoldt has gone straight back to the sidelines, although he has escaped surgery on his knee. Full-back Astbury will need to get through training this week after rolling his ankle, while Graham suffered a minor hamstring injury in the VFL. Captain Cotchin suffered a setback, pushing his recovery time out to 3-4 weeks. There’s better news for Markov, who is nearly a month ahead of schedule after having minor knee surgery on a torn meniscus, while Grigg is now dealing with a hip complaint – Sarah Black |
ST KILDA
Player |

Estimated Return |
---|---|---|
Logan Austin | Shoulder | Indefinite |

Jake Carlisle | Back | Indefinite |
Oscar Clavarino | Ankle | 1-2 weeks |
Jarryn Geary | Quad | Indefinite |
Dan Hannebery | Hamstring/calves | Indefinite |

Rowan Marshall | Ill | Test |
Paddy McCartin | Concussion | Indefinite |
Lewis Pierce | Concussion | Test |
Dylan Roberton | Heart | Season |
Updated: Tuesday, April 30 |
Early prognosis |
---|
A return for McCartin might not happen this year. Bruce carried a leg injury through the Adelaide loss and needs to prove his fitness. Small forward Lonie is set for a reasonable stint on the sidelines, with captain Geary facing a similar medium-term time out of the game. The outlook for Carlisle is relatively promising, considering he’s coming off back surgery. He could be back within a couple of months if everything goes to plan. – Dinny Navaratnam |
SYDNEY

Sam Naismith | Knee | TBC |

Durak Tucker | Knee | Indefinite |
Updated: Tuesday, April 30 |
Early prognosis |
---|
Franklin was never really a chance to play after being a late withdrawal last week, but the Swans are hopeful he can be fit to face Essendon in round eight. Hayward has recovered well from surgery to repair his broken jaw and could make the trip to Brisbane this week, along with Jack, who missed last week’s Sydney derby. – Adam Curley |
WEST COAST
Player |
Injury |
Estimated Return |
---|---|---|
Tom Barrass | Foot | TBC |
Nic Naitanui | Knee | Indefinite |
Jack Redden | Achilles | Test |
Willie Rioli | Foot | 3 weeks |
Francis Watson | Shoulder | 2-3 weeks |
Updated: Tuesday, April 30 |
Early prognosis |
---|
Redden is in the mix to return against Gold Coast after pulling up with Achilles soreness following the Port Adelaide loss. Lewis Jetta is a watch after his left wrist was bandaged at Subiaco Oval on Tuesday, while Rioli is taking major strides forward and trained with the WAFL group before completing extra running around the boundary. Watson has suffered a significant AC injury after being stretchered from the ground during the win over Claremont, but has avoided surgery and completed some light kicking and marking – not raising his left arm above shoulder height. Barrass has successfully undergone foot surgery but a timeframe for his comeback, initially estimated around seven-to-10 weeks, is up in the air. – Travis King |

Fergus Greene | Ankle | 3-5 weeks |
Lin Jong | Appendix | 2-3 weeks |
Dale Morris | Knee | 6-8 weeks |
Matthew Suckling | Groin | 2-4 weeks |
Updated: Tuesday, April 30 |
Early prognosis |
---|
Heartwarming news for Bulldogs fans with Morris back running on the track as he steps up his recovery from a pre-season ACL injury. The 36-year-old remains focused on a return to football this season. Jong required surgery to remove his appendix last week and is expected to be a couple of weeks from selection. – Paul Bastin |
