MELBOURNE has been dealt yet another injury blow, while Geelong could receive a big boost this week.

The injury-hit Demons will be without Blaithin Mackin (calf) for at least the next three weeks, while Eden Zanker suffered a knee injury in the thrilling loss to Fremantle.

Zanker will miss Friday's clash against Essendon as the Dees investigate the extent of her injury.

The Cats could regain star midfielder Georgie Prespakis for Thursday night's clash against Hawthorn.

Prespakis has been sidelined with a quad injury but is listed as a test for this week.

Who else is set to miss? Check out every team's injury list below.
