Updated: May 14, 2024

Early prognosis

Key forward van Rooyen suffered a head knock in the dying stages of the Demons' game against Carlton and has entered concussion protocols. Turner finished the same game with some calf soreness, with scans later showing he has a low-grade strain which will sideline him for 3-4 weeks. Similarly, Hore was unable to play out the VFL match on Friday night due to calf tightness and is facing a 4-6 week stint on the sideline with a calf strain. No timeline has been set for Schache's (heel) return. In better news for the Demons, Salem (hamstring) is a chance to be available this weekend, pending a fitness test later in the week. - Alison O'Connor

Mills hit the track this week in his injury comeback, with John Longmire hopeful he will be available in the weeks after the mid-season bye.
