“Then a decision on his availability will be made following that training session later in the week.”

Collingwood: Nick Daicos
“At this time of year I think everyone is carrying something to get to the line to play. That’s the reality of this long season we’re living. I’d be very surprised if not everyone’s got something.”
Craig McRae
Collingwood: Lachie Schultz
Craig McRae confirmed Lachie Schultz had failed a concussion test
Geelong: Lawson Humphries
“He’s slotted in really nicely. When we brought him in, I said we’ve been talking about him for a while and the opportunity opened up for us to get him in. We were hopeful we’d sit back and say why didn’t we find a way earlier. It’s nice when a young player comes in and improves your team. It’s not always the case… He’s come in and impacted the way we’ve played really positively.”
Chris Scott
Geelong: Sam De Koning
“We’ve got an open mind but it’s nice to know he can do it. I’m pretty sure he won’t play in the ruck full-time for the rest of the year. It’s crazy to say we’re wedded to this. I’m super confident we’ll play Stanley again at some stage.”
Chris Scott
Hawthorn: Massimo D’Ambrosio
“I haven’t had the medical update just yet. At half-time they said ‘we’re not sure, we’ll give him 5 minutes and see how he goes’. We moved him up to the wing and he wasn’t moving too well. We knew Harry Morrison’s been really good in the sub role. It was quite a simple swap. He probably could’ve kept on playing if we needed it.”
Sam Mitchell
Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin says Max Gawn is “progressing well” as he attempts to recover from a chipped fibula in time for the Demons’ trip to Perth to face Fremantle.
Also heard this morning that he is out of that moonboot.
Fremantle: Luke Jackson
“He’s stood up for us all year when we’ve needed him in the ruck. He probably didn’t win the hit-outs but his follow-up and ability to compete was great.”
Justin Longmuir
Fremantle: Sean Darcy (concussion)
“We’re hoping Sean is back next week and that’ll probably push Luke forward… we’ll see how he gets through the concussion protocols.”
Justin Longmuir
Sydney: Justin McInerney
“We’ll have to wait and see, the early diagnosis is a PCL. I’m not sure what that means, he’ll go into a brace in the short-term and just see what happens from there.”
John Longmire
Western Bulldogs: Adam Treloar was a late withdrawal for the Dogs due to a calf injury sustained in the warm-up.
“He just had a tight calf. Adam’s had bits and pieces over the journey. He warmed up, (tight calf was) still there. We just thought we can’t take a risk. Hopefully he might be OK next week, we’ll wait and see.”
Luke Beveridge
Carlton:
Zac Williams was subbed out due to hamstring tightness.
Jack Martin is close to returning.
Mitch McGovern is 1-2 weeks away.
Adelaide: Zac Taylor
“We know Zac has got some real talent and game behind him. It may take some time for him to get to that level of AFL.
“Today was his first full game hit-out and we were really pleased with that. We felt it was important for him to come in and have a couple of games in that sub role. We believe he’s going to be a great player into the future.”
Matthew Nicks
Melbourne: Max Gawn
“He’s progressing well. We’re not going to put a time limit on it, because we’re not sure. But he did have a good couple of days the past few days, so we’ll assess him mid-week and see where it’s at and make that call later in the week.”
Simon Goodwin
Gawn stated that he is pushing hard to play.
Port Adelaide: Todd Marshall injured his hip in the second quarter and didn’t return. Ken Hinkley said he would require scans.
Gold Coast: Lachie Weller will play next week after a long-term ACL injury, and he will play AFL.
Damien Hardwick
Richmond: Tim Taranto
“He’s obviously concussed. He got subbed out with that. He’ll go into the protocols. He seems OK, walking around now. But it’s a standard concussion. We’re going to obviously miss him because he was in good form again.”
Adem Yze
Richmond: Shai Bolton
He tweaked his groin last week in a marking contest and sorta tweaked the same thing… he was OK, he got through the game.”
Adem Yze
GWS: Stephen Coniglio was subbed out with a shoulder injury.
Adam Kingsley said: “He was just a bit sore. Probably was ‘geez I’m not sure I can push through’, so we decided to sub him and bring James Peatling on, who’s a midfielder, like-for-like. It became a pretty easy decision in the end… He knows his body really well and what he can and can’t do. The discussions I was having with him were ‘able you able to manage? If not, I’ll sub you’.”
Coniglio will try to train Thursday to show he is fit after battling more shoulder soreness
WCE:
Liam Duggan subbed out due to concussion.
Tyler Brockman injured his ankle and was taken out of the game.
Brisbane: Lachie Neale
“He was just everywhere. Working really hard at the stoppages. He kicks the goal that seals the game. He’s such a great footballer. He’s a driven guy. He made sure our team got over the line today.”
Chris Fagan
Brisbane: Charlie Cameron suspended for three-week for his tackle on West Coast’s Liam Duggan.
The incident has been graded careless, severe impact and high contact, which has triggered a three-week ban.
Brisbane is appealing the Charlie Cameron suspension
GWS: Toby Bedford suspended for 3 weeks for his tackle on Tim Taranto.
The incident has been graded careless, severe impact and high contact, which is a three-week ban.
GWS have already announced they are appealing Bedford’s suspension.
Gold Coast: Alex Davies (three weeks) and Malcolm Rosas jnr (one week) both suspended.
Alex Davies for his incident with Lachie Jones and Malcolm Rosas who appeared to lift his elbow and make contact with Logan Evans.
How Rosas got one week yet some tackles got three is beyond me. Need a completely new review system because this is shocking
How can Charlie Cameron get 3 weeks for a tackle and yet Rosas clearly lifted his elbow to snipe someone and gets one… something damn wrong here. The book shoulda been thrown at him.
Geelong: Lawson Humphries is the round 18 AFL Rising Star nominee

“’Gov’ from a couple of weeks ago with his ribs, he’s back running which is really good, joining in some lower-level drills and got up to some speed today,” High Performance Manager Mat Inness said.
“He won’t play this week; he needs another week at least.”

Both clubs wanting to save the tackle
St Kilda: Lance Collard has received a six-game ban for using homophobic slurs against his opponents during a VFL game last weekend.
why does the AFL give 6 weeks for a slur and only 3 weeks for a tackle that that can cause brain damage? Their priorities are unexplainable!
Hard to establish if a tackle resulting in head impact is intentional. A slur is intentional. No doubt.
Essendon:
Jye Caldwell wore a compression sock on his right calf but appeared to move freely through Tuesday’s session.
Collingwood:
Howe and Kreuger both absent through illness. McRae confident both will be able to get up for Saturday. Howe over his hamstring complaint.
A decision to be made on McStay to be made at match committee this afternoon. Mason Cox also in the frame, but may need a week in VFL.
North Melbourne: Colby McKercher missed today’s main session- he’ll train Saturday to determine his availability against Carlton. Club says he was sore after Swans game
Alastair Clarkson offered an update on McKercher missing training. He said: “That’s what we’re just mindful of, we want to manage his loads really well. He’s just come back into senior footy. He’s had a couple of games back now. We just want to manage his loads. He’ll train Saturday morning and hopefully be OK to play. He’s just a little bit domsy (delayed onset muscle soreness) from the weekend’s game having not played a lot of footy the last 6-7 weeks.”
Melbourne: Max Gawn participated in Melbourne match sim this morning and is pushing to play. A decision will be made at match committee this afternoon
Simon Goodwin said: “He’s working through his process incredibly well. Everyone that knows Max knows how diligent he is. Today is an important day for that process, and we’ll assess him post today. It’s hard to make a decision this morning until we get all the information. As I said, it’s just not one of those things you need to take a risk with, so we need to make sure he’s 100% clear today. We certainly won’t take a risk, this isn’t the time of year to take a risk with any of our players. We need to make sure that he is actually 100% ready to go.”
Collingwood: Nathan Kreuger
“Kreug had gastro earlier in the week. He’s better but 48 hours out of the program is mandatory when you have that. He’ll be training offsite today. We’re confident he’ll be right.”
Craig McRae:
Richmond: Dustin Martin will miss again as he is still dealing with the back injury.
West Coast have taken Archer Reid, Campbell Chesser, Jai Culley, Josh Rotham and Jack Petruccelle to Melbourne.
Elliot Yeo not on the flight, while Waterman (knee), Liam Duggan (concussion) and Tyler Brockman (ankle) also out.
What is wrong with Yeo?
Unknown, but I have been endeavouring to find out.
Will update ASAP.
A possible reason? –
It’s his fathers funeral on Monday so they might not want to risk him not being able to fly home after the match like Gov the other week.
Official reason given by WCE is that Yeo is out due to soreness….
General or otherwise is not indicated.
Gold Coast: Jarrod Witts
Damien Hardwick discussed the fitness of Jarrod Witts who has missed the past few games with a fractured vertebra. He said: “He’ll miss once again unfortunately. We think he turned the corner yesterday. It was probably a little bit slower than we would’ve liked. So we’ll take the extra week and see how it settles over the course of the weekend. Hopefully he puts his hand up next week to play.”
Hawthorn: Finn Maginness is in the selection mix for the matchup against Collingwood and potential tag target Nick Daicos.
“Finn has been in the mix. I think if we weren’t going so well we would’ve found a way to get Finn in, but because we’ve been playing some pretty good footy and been pretty consistent, we haven’t been able to fit him in the side just yet. He is one of those guys that I’d love to be able to get him in. Obviously with his history on Nick … we know that he’s a player the media would certainly love to see, and he’s a player I’d love to see out there. We’ve got a couple of tests today, so we’ll see how we go for match committee this afternoon.”
Sam Mitchell
Brisbane: Brandon Starcevich
“He’s right to go. Good to have him back and available again. There’s a few good little forwards playing for the Swans that he’s got the capacity to play on, we look forward to having him back.”
Chris Fagan
Charlie Cameron has won his appeal and is free to play … Fox Sport
Long live the tackle!
Gawn not named.
As expected. Didn’t think they would rush him back at this time of the year
Will be interesting to see who can afford to hold him with finals around the corner, could score massive once he’s back
Toby Bedford will be available for the Giants round 19 clash against Gold Coast after his three-match suspension for rough conduct was dismissed at the AFL Appeal Board.
Does Caldwell have any niggles that may restrict him this week? Thanks
Not sure if it is any restriction, but it has been mentioned earlier in this thread that he was managed from training and wore a compression sock on his calf
Thanks Nato
