 Ned McHenry  Back  2-4 weeks
 Andrew McPherson  Hamstring  4-5 weeks
 Updated: Tuesday, August 6

Early prognosis

Keath is expected to return for Sunday’s important encounter with West Coast in Perth. The key defender has missed the past two games with ankle soreness. Betts and Hartigan are both expected to be available to face the Eagles after sustaining injuries in last weekend’s 22-point win against St Kilda. Bettscopped a knee to the ribs in the second quarter, while Hartiganrolled his ankle in a marking contest. He’ll be managed early in the week before being tested at the Crows’ main training session on Thursday. Ellis-Yolmen is at least another week away from returning from a shin injury that has kept the big-bodied midfielder sidelined since round 13. – Lee Gaskin

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

 Tom Cutler  Foot  1 week
 Mitch Hinge  Hamstring  Test
 Tom Joyce  Shin  5 weeks
 Dayne Zorko  Hamstring  Test
 Updated: Tuesday, August 6

Early prognosis

All eyes will be on Zorko this week. His scan results came back clear, but the skipper will still need to pass a fitness test to play. – Michael Whiting

 Pat Kerr  Shoulder  Season
 Matthew Kreuzer  Hip  Test

 Updated: Tuesday, August 6

Early prognosis

 Ben Reid  Hamstring  TBC
 Brayden Sier  Calf  TBC
 Jaidyn Stephenson  Suspended  3 weeks
 Daniel Wells  Knee  Test
 Updated: Tuesday, August 6

Early prognosis

Cox’s season-ending eye injury has added to the Pies’ personnel woes but Wells could return at VFL level. De Goey and Quaynorwill remain on the sidelines at least for the short term, while Aish and Moore also hope to be back before the end of the minor rounds. Sier seems unlikely again this week while Murphy again didn’t take the field in the VFL after being cleared to play. Kelly is also being managed conservatively, but Reidfaces an uphill battle to play again this season after another setback. Stephenson will be available at finals time but the campaign is over for Langdon and veterans Dunn and Beams.  – Ben Collins

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

 Tom Bellchambers  Calf  2-3 weeks

 Darcy Parish  Concussion  Test
 Adam Saad  Hamstring  2 weeks
 Devon Smith  Knee  Season
 James Stewart  Groin  Season
 Updated: Tuesday, August 6

Early prognosis

The Bombers’ injury list has grown markedly this week, losing Guelfi for the season to a training accident which required knee surgery, and important backman Saad to a minor hamstring strain. They will get McKernan back from illness and will be desperate for Heppell to be available, while Parish and Franciswill also be monitored before being cleared for the clash.  Callum Twomey

 Matt Taberner  Foot  Season
 Nathan Wilson  Toe  TBC
 Updated: Tuesday, August 6

Early prognosis

Lobb‘s season is over after undergoing shoulder surgery. A timeframe on Wilson is yet to be determined. Scott Jones made his return from a calf injury in the WAFL and got through unscathed. Ryan and Cox are still in the frame to return before the end of the season. Pearce spent time as an assistant coach for Peel Thunder last week as he recovers from an ankle injury. – Jourdan Canil

 Rory Thompson  Knee  Season

 Aaron Young  Knee  Test
 Updated: Tuesday, August 6

Early prognosis

Not much news for the Suns, which is a good thing. Young has had a difficult season but is a chance to play NEAFL at the weekend. Ah Chee is progressing well and still a chance to return before the season finishes. – Michael Whiting

 Tim Mohr  Dislocated knee/ACL  Season
 Ryan Schoenmakers  Calf  1-2 weeks
 Updated: Tuesday, August 6

Early prognosis

Birchall‘s season may be over because of a hamstring setback on Friday night. However, the Hawks say they are pleased with him being able to play six games between VFL and AFL level, especially with his troublesome knee holding up well. Jack Scrimshaw (knee) resumed in the VFL on restricted minutes and will increase his game time this weekend. Tim O’Brien(calf), Harry Morrison (back) and Dylan Moore (groin) also returned from respective injuries as well. First-year midfielder Will Golds sprained an ankle at training last week. – Marc McGowan

NORTH MELBOURNE

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

 Shaun Atley  Knee  Test

 Ed Vickers-Willis  Knee  Season
 Will Walker  Knee  Season
 Declan Watson  Knee  Indefinite
 Sam Wright  Hamstring/retirement  Season
 Updated: Tuesday, August 6

Early prognosis

The Roos have booked Davies-Uniacke in for a right shoulder reconstruction to fix an issue he suffered earlier in the season when fending off an opponent, bringing an end to his second AFL campaign. Watson‘s is a fresh injury and he will sit out at least this weekend to try to recover from a medial cruciate ligament setback in his left knee, the same knee he had reconstructed in mid-2017. Wright‘s farewell game ended prematurely when he sustained a hamstring injury, but he wasn’t going to play again this year, anyway. Atley will try again to prove his fitness after hurting himself in round 19. – Marc McGowan

PORT ADELAIDE

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

 Ryan Burton  Hamstring  1-2 weeks
 Zak Butters  Bruised sternum  Test
 Tobin Cox  Kidney  2 weeks
 Brad Ebert  Knee  4-6 weeks
 Jake Patmore  Knee  Season
 Jack Watts  Leg  Indefinite
 Updated: Tuesday, August 6

Early prognosis

Butters is in doubt for Saturday’s clash with Sydney after suffering a bruised sternum in the first half of last weekend’s win against Essendon. Burton is on track to return from a hamstring injury before the end of the season after increasing his training loads. Watts has returned to running, but there isn’t any timeframe on when he will be available. The utility hasn’t played since breaking his leg and damaging his ankle in round two. – Lee Gaskin

RICHMOND

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

 Trent Cotchin  Hamstring  1-2 weeks
 Jack Higgins  Brain bleed  Season
 Callum Moore  Ankle  Test
 Alex Rance  Knee  Season
 Sydney Stack  Calf  Test
 Updated: Tuesday, August 6

Early prognosis

One of Richmond’s shortest injury lists for the season at the right time of the year. Moore is a chance to make his return in the VFL from a fractured ankle this weekend. Stack is less likely to play against Carlton, with the club wanting to be cautious with a first-year player who has a soft-tissue injury. Cotchin is still a week or two away. – Sarah Black

 Jack Newnes  Ill  Test
 Ben Paton  Ill  Test
 Lewis Pierce  Concussion  Indefinite
 Dylan Roberton  Heart  Season
 Updated: Tuesday, August 6

Early prognosis

Gresham could be sidelined for the rest of the season after suffering a fractured eye socket on the weekend. The Saints would expect HanneberyNewnes and Paton to be right to go. However, considering Hannebery hasn’t played at any level since June and has dealt with well-publicised soft-tissue issues, he might need to return via the VFL. – Dinny Navaratnam

 Durak Tucker  Hamstring  TBC
 Updated: Tuesday, August 6

 Early prognosis

Star defender Rampe has been cleared by specialists to return against Port, after he missed the Sydney Derby with an eye injury. Superstar forward Lance Franklin will increase his training and could face Melbourne in round 22. Veteran McVeighis hopeful of joining training next week with a look at playing again before he retires at the end of the year. The news isn’t as positive for Naismith who is battling soreness, while O’Riordanisn’t expected to play again this year. – Adam Curley

 Daniel Venables  Concussion  Season
 Updated: Tuesday, July 30

Early prognosis

HurnHutchingsDuggan and Cripps ticked the boxes getting through skills work on Tuesday morning and none of them appeared restricted in any way during the 45-minute session. Cripps might be the only one unavailable with his return scheduled against Adelaide in round 21.

  1. Don’t shoot the messenger but my reliable GWS source all year has let me know today that he doubts Josh Kelly will play and Jezza Cameron is only 50/50 to get up.

  2. Lobb’s gone for the season, I can cover with McLean but will be in strife if ROB doesn’t play, with one trade left, and $71’600 in the bank is Westhoff my only option?

    FYI – west coast needs to be updated. The above is last weeks update.
