Young gun Brad Crouch is available for selection this week after recovering from a hamstring strain that sidelined him earlier in the season. That leaves Sam Shaw, Lewis Johnston and Taylor Walker as the club's only injured players. The Crows got through their 135-point dismantling of Greater Western Sydney without issue and, although the SANFL had a week off, Crouch and other players not named against the Giants were put through a training session on Saturday morning to ensure they'd be fit if called upon. - Harry Thring
FREMANTLE
Nat Fyfe returns from suspension and Stephen Hill should have recovered from a quad strain that has sidelined him for two matches. They will be important inclusions against the reigning premiers. The question for Ross Lyon is what to do with the ruck department. Jack Hannath and Zac Dawson battled manfully last week after Jonathon Griffin went down with a serious knee injury. Zac Clarke is available but Lyon suggested he would not come straight in. The other option would be to pick Tanner Smith to give cover at both ends and play Hannath and Dawson as the ruck combination, which is a distinct possibility. - Alex Malcolm
A 135-point defeat on Sunday, the second worst in its short history, means there are likely to be more changes this week at Greater Western Sydney. Very few Giants could hold their heads high after the loss to Adelaide and it will be some task for the coaching staff to rejuvenate the players for a trip to Launceston to take on Hawthorn. There is some good news, with Dom Tyson nearing a return to full training following knee surgery and Anthony Miles, Mark Whiley and Gerald Ugle showing some good form in the reserves. Setanta O'hAilpin (calf) is also in line for a recall. Rhys Palmer, Aidan Corr, Josh Bruce and Zac Williams are among the players facing a nervous wait for the team announcement this week. - James Dampney
RICHMOND
Trent Cotchin (knee) and Tyrone Vickery (concussion) are expected to return to face the Demons after missing the Tigers' win over Port Adelaide. A decision on Ricky Petterd (calf) and Dylan Grimes (foot) will be made later in the week after both didn't play on the weekend. Chris Knights (knee) is out for the season after tearing his patella tendon against the Power while Shane Tuck (scapula) will miss six to eight weeks after undergoing surgery on Monday. Ivan Maric, who entered the game with a sore ankle, pulled up ok as did Nathan Foley. - Jennifer Phelan

SYDNEY SWANS
The Swans put in a disappointing shift in their loss to Hawthorn, but there aren't too many quick solutions in sight. Rhyce Shaw will miss out for another week with his abdominal strain, while Shane Mumford is rated only a 50-50 prospect of returning immediately from a groin problem. Jesse White was quiet in his first game for the season, but may earn a second chance due to Mumford's injury and Fremantle's depleted ruck stocks. Andrejs Everitt played well in the reserves on the weekend, while Mitch Morton and Tommy Walsh are also around the mark if coach John Longmire wants to shake up the forward line. Youngsters Tim Membrey and Tom Mitchell are also progressing well as they push their claims for a senior debut. - James Dampney

The Eagles finally have an embarrassment of riches at their disposal after seven weeks of injury woe. Daniel Kerr, Chris Masten, Beau Waters, Sam Butler, Andrew Embley, and Mark Nicoski are all listed as possibilities. It is likely that Kerr, Masten, and Waters are automatic selections but it will be tough for John Worsfold to fit them all in after two straight wins. Bradd Dalziell, Brad Sheppard, Ash Smith, and Jacob Brennan may all be waiting nervously for the team to be announced. Butler and Nicoski will almost certainly go through the WAFL. Andrew Embley may also have to take that path. - Alex Malcolm
