Collingwood: Harvey Harrison suffered an season ending ACL injury playing in the VFL on Friday.
Sydney: Robbie Fox was subbed out, nursing a back issue early in the game on Friday.
To be updated.
GWS: Lachie Whitfield (foot problem)
Adam Kingsley said: “I think he might have got stood on, I’m not sure exactly what it was. He went downstairs for a little bit and we were trying to find out. Then he was back on the ground. I don’t think it’s anything. He played the whole last quarter and didn’t appear to have an issue.”
GWS: Kieren Briggs (managed) and Stephen Coniglio (shoulder).
Adam Kingsley said: “We’ve still got some players to come back in. I think Briggs and Coniglio will come back in next week hopefully. I would expect they will. I’ve said that about Cogs for a couple of weeks, so I probably shouldn’t.”
North Melbourne: Harry Sheezel who laboured in the second half and spent time on the sidelines favouring one leg.
Alastair Clarkson said: “He got a bit of an ankle, he got stomped on or something. He was a little bit sore in the second half… Hopefully it’s just a knock. We’ll get it assessed during the week and he’s good to go again.”
North Melbourne: Tristan Xerri
Alastair Clarkson said: “I thought big X in the ruck was really lionhearted. It was such a dominant display in the ruck from him.”
WCE: Harley Reid who was troubled by a leg problem.
“Not exactly (sure) what it was but it was a lower leg. He just wasn’t 100%. We thought he’s a match-winner too, so we thought we’d try something different… we decided just to put him forward. I’m not 100% sure what it is.”
Jarrad Schofield
Fremantle:
Sean Darcy was a late withdrawal, pulled out during the warm-up with left knee strapped having had soreness during the week.
“In the short term, I am (worried). He’s going to carry a little bit of soreness in that knee for the rest of the year. We’ll manage him through that. Probably the six-day break this week caught him out.”
Justin Longmuir
Geelong: Tanner Bruhn was subbed out with “dizziness symptoms” and Gary Rohan was a late out having been set to return from concussion.
Essendon: Nik Cox was subbed out due to concussion, while Brad Scott said Harrison Jones had cramp late.
Melbourne: Jake Bowey and Taj Woewodin were both late withdrawals with gastro.
Port Adelaide:
Todd Marshall was subbed out after a head clash.
Miles Bergman copped a corked buttock.
Carlton: Charlie Curnow (ankle)
“Given what we’re managing there, we accept it is going to be a bit like that for the rest of the season until he can get a rest really. Ideally, he doesn’t roll that ankle and he is OK. He was moving around OK. It is something he is going to have to manage.”
“He was fine to go. He got through parts of training a couple of days ago, got running again yesterday, so unfortunately it is just a niggle players get at this part of the year. It is one of those we are going to manage… we’ll just take 24 hours and make sure we get the right assessment.”
Michael Voss
Carlton: Jordan Boyd, Jack Martin, Lachie Fogarty and Adam Saad will all be scanned on Monday.
“Boydy played with an adductor for most of the game, so he was on one leg doing the best he possibly could to try and help us. Martin with the hamstring. Fogarty with the shoulder. ‘Saady’ with a hamstring. Charlie with an ankle.”
Michael Voss
Hawthorn: Will Day was subbed out at three-quarter time.
“He was just cramping up. He’s obviously an important player for us. We’ve had a few guys who’ve been sore of late, he’s one of those. We want to make sure he’s cherry ripe for the rest of the season.”
Sam Mitchell
Hawthorn: Changkuoth Jiath was a late withdrawal due to a tight calf.
Sam Mitchell
St Kilda: Mattaes Phillipou
“Phillipou just pulled out with an illness morning of the game. Tried to get up. Hopefully he recovers for next week.”
Ross Lyon
Adelaide: Taylor Walker was subbed out after a poke to the eye.
Taylor Walker meeting with an eye specialist today.
Club hopeful it’s precautionary with an update on his availability for Saturday night’s Showdown expected this afternoon.
Western Bulldogs: Aaron Naughton was subbed out due to being a “bit ginger” with a sore knee.
“He’s had a bit of a sore knee. He wasn’t necessarily covering the ground as well as he does.
“We needed to find a little bit more run and (sub) Caleb (Daniel) can produce that.”
Luke Beveridge
Seems a bit harsh. Ed Richards has been playing most of the year with no mention of it.
Lmao!
Contender for comment of the year
Western Bulldogs: Tim English
English flew back from Adelaide in a moon boot and will have scans today,
The club are confident that he will play as he was able to play out the game
North Melbourne: Harry Sheezel is in some doubt for the weekend.
He was pretty sore post game and had scans yesterday. The club to get an update today.
Carlton: Harry McKay (quad) is questionable for Round 23
Collingwood: Craig McRae has been issued a warning by the AFL after his criticism of the umpiring in his post-match press conference on Friday night.
AFL executive general manager Laura Kane made contact with McRae on Monday after last year’s premiership coach expressed his frustrations at the SCG.
The League won’t take any further action.
“The AFL has today been in touch with Collingwood and cautioned senior coach Craig McRae in regard to his comments towards umpires in the post match press conference,” AFL spokesman Jay Allen said on Monday afternoon.
Still don’t know how Mac Andrew hasn’t been cited by the MRO for kicking an opponent while the opponent was lying on the ground. Happened with about a minute to go in the game, forward pocket.
Literally lashed out and kicked the player on the ground.
Is setanta o’hailpin an assistant at the gc??
Sydney: Sam Wicks has copped a four-game ban in the VFL, ruling him out until at least the third week of finals

Western Bulldogs: Tim English is set to miss this weekends clash against North Melbourne due to an ankle injury
Far. That’s huge.
Has that been confirmed by Luke Beveridge yet?
The Bulldogs will be without Tim English for their Round 23 clash against the Kangaroos on Sunday afternoon.
Having suffered an ankle injury on the weekend, scans have confirmed a moderate grade injury.
“Scans have confirmed that he has a moderate grade ligament injury,” Head of Sports Medicine, Chris Bell said.
“Tim won’t play this week, and we will work through a process across the next seven days to determine his return to play plan.”
Carlton – Curnow & McKay & Saad & Jack Martin are all out for 1 to 2 weeks
Fogarty & Boyd to miss the rest of the season
This week versus WCE, the Blues will have 6 x players out from the weekends game
Ch 7 Perth reporting Tim English looks set to re-sign with the Bulldogs and will not be going to the Eagles despite a big offer to move.
Essendon: Dyson Heppell will retire when Essendon plays its final game of the season
Upcoming AFL milestones:
AFL Life Membership – A Gaff
250 games – J Cripps
200 – L Hunter
100 – H Morrison, B Scott
100 club – J Scrimshaw
Luke Beveridge to equal Ted Whitten Footscray / Western Bulldogs club games’ coaching record.
Melbourne: Clayton Oliver won’t play remaining two games of the year after undergoing hand surgery and has also been dealing with a posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injury and sore ribs.
Simon Goodwin says Oliver categorically will be at the club next year.
North Melbourne: Harry Sheezel won’t play this week. It will be the first game he’s missed since his debut.
Any concerns that he might miss two?? Risk Vs Reward playing him next week – what’s the point?
I’m tempted to use one of my last two trades on getting rid of him
Carlton: Cooper Lord (MID $102k) to debut this week
Damn it he was my mid field loophole
Melbourne: Alex Neal – Bullen reportedly asks for a trade home to SA
What is behind Luke Ryan’s scoring over the back end of the year? Back to normal with Pearce returning? Trying to work out what to do with sheezel out. Thankyou in advance.
Might be a great early v loop this week.
Fremantle: Josh Treacy and Sean Darcy are both set to miss Saturday
Fremantle: Liam Reidy (Ruck $123K) to debut
My loophole, Oh well. Happy for Liam
St Kilda: Mattaes Phillipou
Ross Lyon confirms Mattaes Phillipou (illness) will miss Round 23.
Fremantle: Jordan Clark trained away from main group.
North Melbourne: Hugh Greenwood was given a guard of honour after today’s VFL loss to Southport. Understand he won’t be offered a new contract , so this was a Kangaroos farewell, but not yet an official retirement.
If this is it, he finishes on 121 games. 51 for Adelaide, 32 for Gold Coast & 38 for North. Not bad at all for someone who didn’t play any footy between the ages of 16 & 24.
