Skipper Taylor Walker should be right to face the Hawks after going close last week while fellow forward Mitch McGovern will have his ankle injury assessed. Midfielder Brad Crouch will play in round one of the SANFL on April 8. He will need a couple weeks to build match fitness given his injury history and the fact he's been sidelined since mid-January. Defender Kyle Cheney will miss up to a month with a hamstring injury sustained at training last week. He had a limited pre-season with a groin issue. Winger Paul Seedsman is still in the rehab group and will need time in the state league before he is considered for the senior side. Draftee Ben Davis has had surgery on his foot. He arrived at the club with a stress fracture and it didn't respond to treatment. - Lee Gaskin

The Blues have declared the versatile Jacob Weitering, who copped an accidental knock to the hip from Richmond defender Alex Rance early in last Thursday night’s season opener, will be fit to take on the Demons on Sunday. Key midfielder Patrick Cripps, who appeared to hurt his arm late against the Tigers but played on, also should be right. Dylan Buckley has recovered from a hip injury and played in a VFL practice match last Thursday. Phillips is in training but at least a fortnight off playing and Byrne hopes to return late in the season. - Howard Kotton

The Bombers are in a healthy position heading into round two apart from losing Green to a hamstring injury. After two VFL practice games, Tom Bellchambers is close to being ready for senior selection after a pre-season impacted by knee surgery. David Myers is edging closer to having the splint removed from his finger and returning to ball use at training. - Callum Twomey

Coniglio is a massive worry with him being listed as six weeks away, the same as his initial diagnosis a fortnight ago, while Brett Deledio's return still has no set date. Corr will train on Wednesday and Friday in a bid to prove his fitness, while Patton is likely to be given until Friday to show he's OK to face Gold Coast. - Adam Curley

Ceglar is back running and O'Rourke is well into his rehab. Rioli was hampered for much of the season opener against the Bombers but given he played the game, out he appears a certain starter this week against Adelaide in what shapes as a really difficult encounter. Otherwise the Hawks are in fine fettle. - Ashley Browne

The Demons insist star pair Jesse Hogan and Max Gawn will be fit to face the Blues on Sunday. Hogan was on crutches on Monday after rolling his ankle against St Kilda. The spearhead did not train with teammates on Tuesday, instead completing an 'off legs' session in the gym. Gawn was on light duties and walked laps on Tuesday but, with the extra day to recover, should be ready to roll against Carlton. Michael Hibberd worked hard in rehab on Tuesday and the Demons are hopeful they will have him available to play soon. The Demons have upgraded Mitch King back to the senior list in place of Joel Smith who is set to miss four months after shoulder surgery on Tuesday. - Ben Guthrie

The Power’s injury room is extremely sparse. Pittard could be back as early as round three, while Howard is progressing better than expected in his recovery from a torn ACL. - Lee Gaskin

Steve Morris is set to play his first VFL game this week after recovering from a knee reconstruction, so he comes off the injury list. Graham is on the long-term list after falling on his ankle during a training drill last Tuesday. He has a small fracture in his tibia bone and ligament damage. Hampson has undergone multiple surgeries on his back injury but is able to train lightly after the Tigers identified the specific area of the ruckman's back that is troubling him. - Nathan Schmook

The Saints will see how Riewoldt responds to his right knee hyperextension before determining when he returns. McCartin and Montagna should both be right to make the trip to Perth after playing three quarters in the VFL last Sunday. - Dinny Navaratnam

Heeney is listed as two weeks, which is a promising sign, while McVeigh is back running and could be fit to play in the next three weeks. Robinson has had surgery on his collarbone and will be assessed further next week. Papley and Rohan could be back on the senior list in the near future but will likely need time in the NEAFL after missing most of the pre-season, while Cameron should play in the NEAFL this week after missing round one with an infected finger. - Adam Curley
