Richmond: James Trezise, ankle DEF $207,900
“(The incident happened) halfway through the third quarter. James is actually quite lucky he didn’t snap his leg. He’s suffered a moderate syndesmosis injury. He’s in a moon boot now and he’ll progress into running in a couple of weeks’ time and be available in around about a month.”
*Brisbane: Tom Doedee
Has suffered a partial tear to his ACL and will be out for an extended period. Happened late in training yesterday, less than 48 hours before his scheduled AFL return from the same ruptured ACL. Will meet surgeon in coming days.
Western Bulldogs : Nick Coffield
“He’s had that shoulder repaired before. It’s disappointing. It’s pretty unstable that shoulder. I can’t confirm what’s going to happen but I’d imagine he’s going to be out for a fair while.”
Luke Beveridge
As underwhelming as Hore was on the weekend, do the tall injuries at the Dees now make him any more appealing of an option?
Carlton:
Carlton will give an update on Sam Walsh more than likely early next week. Sam continues to build his training load with the club taking a very cautious approach. It is expected if all goes well Walsh may return within four weeks but the club will not be locked in to a time frame
Melbourne:
Jake Lever – has some knee soreness but has escaped any structural damage and could even be cleared to face Port Adelaide this Saturday night.
Steven May – two cracked ribs and will miss this week, but the club is hopeful he’ll return the following Thursday.
Brisbane: Tom Doedee looking at playing round 3.
“If he’s ready to go, let’s get him in there and let him build his confidence and build his footy and he’ll be a real weapon for us,” Ryan Lester said.
“He’s a very reliable player. He’s tough. He’s courageous.”
Essendon: Dylan Shiel on the weekend. He was ready to play his first game back in the VFL from injury but sustained a slight abdominal strain in the warm up so pulled out. Essendon will find out later in the week if he’s available this weekend.
GWS: Aaron Cadman.
“He wasn’t quite 100% today coming into the game. He had a bit of concern about a bit of soreness in his glute. The bye will be a nice weekend off for him.”

“This is a disappointing situation, but I understand the reasoning behind the decision and will respectfully sit out this week,” King said after the hearing.

“Not too much is going to keep ‘Clarry’ out. He’s a pretty tough bugger, so he should be right to go (against the Power).”
Assistant coach Troy Chaplin
Hawthorn: Henry Hustwaite
“There’ll certainly be some changes to the side this week,”
“(Hustwaite) has been in really good form, we’ll (complete) selection in the next couple of days, but he should be feeling like he deserves a game.

“Dusty’s going to miss this week … he’s actually had an interrupted couple of weeks with his calf,”
“He didn’t train the other day and he’ll only do a little bit today, so we’ve got to just break the pattern of him getting through week to week.
“We’re going to break that cycle this week and give him a lighter week so that he’s pain-free.”
