Hoskin-Elliott and McInnes are both ruled out, while Mitchell won't return before King's Birthday at the earliest. Craig McRae could regain Mihocek and McCreery for Friday night's game against the Dockers. – Josh Gabelich

Jaiden Hunter | Knee | Season |
Harry Jones | Suspension | Round 12 |

Will Setterfield | Knee | 2 weeks |
Updated: May 21, 2024 |
Early prognosis
The Bombers have some fresh concerns with Parish sidelined until after their round 14 bye, while they are confident Durham will face the Tigers as scans on the midfielder's ankle showed no structural damage. Jones will miss this week through suspension. Important defender Jordan Ridley made his return in the VFL last week. – Dejan Kalinic

Ethan Stanley | Ankle | 3 weeks |
Updated: May 21, 2024 |
Early prognosis
Ruckman Darcy will again need to get through main training and pass a fitness test to be available this week as the Dockers take a cautious approach with the big man. Frederick has pulled up well from a big hit against the Saints and will only miss one week in concussion protocols. A timeline for O'Driscoll's return is yet to be decided. – Nathan Schmook

Patrick Dangerfield | Hamstring | 1-3 week |
Sam De Koning | Hamstring | Test |
Mitch Edwards | Back | 2 weeks |
Joe Furphy | Ankle | 1 week |
Oli Wiltshire | Thumb | 2 week |
Updated: May 21, 2024 |
Early prognosis
Cameron is on track to face his old side GWS on Saturday but still needs to tick all the boxes after his concussion in round nine. De Koning could also return this weekend after pulling out late ahead of last week's loss to Gold Coast. Skipper Dangerfield is still at least a week away but returned to the main group at training this week. – Michael Rogers

---|---|---|
Oskar Faulkhead | Ankle | 4 weeks |
Wil Powell | Suspension | Round 15 |
Malcolm Rosas jnr | Hamstring | 1 week |
Lachie Weller | Knee | 8 weeks |
Updated: May 21, 2024 |
Early prognosis
Good news for Rosas jnr who is two weeks ahead of his original schedule. He travelled with the team to his hometown of Darwin and impressed with his strong training. Weller is now also firming as a crucial addition late in the season. – Michael Whiting
PLAYER | INJURY | ESTIMATED RETURN |
---|---|---|
Leek Aleer | Concussion | Test |

James Leake | Quad | Indefinite |
Braydon Preuss | Hamstring | 2 weeks |
Nathan Wardius | Shin | Indefinite |
Updated: May 21, 2024 |
Early prognosis
It's been another brutal week for the Giants on the injury front. Buckley will miss at least the next fortnight, Jones could be sidelined for two months, while Fahey suffered a Lisfranc injury and is likely to miss up to four months. Ash, Cumming and Kelly are still out, but Aleer should pass through the AFL's concussion protocols. – Riley Beveridge

Sam Butler | Leg | Season |
Henry Hustwaite | Concussion | Test |
Mitch Lewis | Knee | TBC |
Will McCabe | Back | 3-5 weeks |
Ned Reeves | Hand | Test |
Jack O'Sullivan | Hamstring | 1-2 weeks |
James Sicily | Shoulder/ankle | Test |
Updated: May 21, 2024 |
Early prognosis
Sicily could be available for Sunday's game against Brisbane at Marvel Stadium, but the skipper will need to prove his shoulder is ready after missing two games following a dislocation. Chad Wingard has played three games at VFL level and is on the cusp of being considered for AFL selection. Lewis is still sidelined with a knee cartilage injury. – Josh Gabelich
PLAYER | INJURY | ESTIMATED RETURN |
---|---|---|
Jake Bowey | Ankle | Test |
Marty Hore | Calf | 3-5 weeks |
Jake Lever | Knee | 4-6 weeks |

Josh Schache | Foot | 4-6 weeks |
Joel Smith | Suspension | Indefinite |
Charlie Spargo | Achilles | 2-3 weeks |
Daniel Turner | Calf | 2-3 weeks |
Jacob van Rooyen | Concussion | Test |
Updated: May 21, 2024 |
Early prognosis
Lever has undergone surgery to address a knee issue he has been managing throughout the season and will spend an extended period on the sidelines. The Demons originally planned for the key defender to go under the knife over the bye period, but after sustaining a head knock against the Eagles and subsequently entering concussion protocols, the club opted to bring forward the surgery and hopes to have him back post-bye. Bowey rolled his ankle in Sunday's match and has suffered ligament damage, but the Demons remain hopeful the small defender will recover in time to face the Saints. van Rooyen (concussion) will need to pass some final markers to be cleared from concussion protocols. - Alison O'Connor

Jackson Archer | Ankle | Test |
Miller Bergman | Hamstring | 4 weeks |
Callum Coleman-Jones | Achilles | Season |
Josh Goater | Achilles | Season |
Hugh Greenwood | Achilles | Test |
Griffin Logue | Knee | 5 weeks |
Colby McKercher | Foot | Post-bye |
Jy Simpkin | Quad | 2 weeks |
Updated: May 21, 2024 |
Early prognosis
The Roos say McKercher has 'turned a corner' in his recovery from a bone stress injury and would be reassessed around the bye. Simpkin will miss another two weeks with a quad complaint. Bergman is out of action for a month after suffering a hamstring injury against Essendon, Archer and Greenwood will face fitness tests later in the week. Kallan Dawson is available after his ankle problem. – Riley Beveridge
PLAYER | INJURY | ESTIMATED RETURN |
---|---|---|
Lachie Charlson | Knee | 4-6 weeks |
Hugh Jackson | Hip | 3-5 weeks |
Tom McCallum | Hip flexor | Test |
Sam Powell-Pepper | Knee | Season |
Josh Sinn | Collarbone | 6 weeks |
Ivan Soldo | Knee | 1-2 weeks |
Updated: May 21, 2024 |
Early prognosis
Hard luck for Sinn who had just forced his way into the senior team with his late injury against Hawthorn. Connor Rozee (hamstring), Lachie Jones (hamstring), Quinton Narkle (foot) and Trent McKenzie (quad) have all been cleared to play this weekend though. – Michael Whiting

Jack Ross | Foot | 6-8 weeks |
Tim Taranto | Wrist | 2-3 weeks |
James Trezise | Concussion | Test |
Updated: May 21, 2024 |
Early prognosis
Safe to say it's not ideal, but hopefully the injury list halves over the next fortnight, with a host of players sitting in the recovery range of test to two weeks. The club has said Baker, Trezise, Banks, Campbell and possibly Bauer should be available this week. Grimes is yet to complete a full training session since his back issue flared, and will not be given a timeline until he can get through unscathed. Lynch is tracking well and aiming for a return before the Tigers' bye in round 15. Graham is back training at the level he was when he re-hurt his hamstring against the Western Bulldogs, so the club will hold him back another week. Hopper is more likely to return to face Adelaide than Geelong the week prior. Mykelti Lefau was subbed with a jaw issue and subsequently cleared of a fracture. The club said on Sunday he would be monitored through this week, but he hasn't made the injury list – Sarah Black
PLAYER | INJURY | ESTIMATED RETURN |

Arie Schoenmaker | Concussion | Test |
James Van Es | Ankle | Season |
Updated: May 21, 2024 |
Early prognosis
Dan Butler is available again after recovering from the hamstring he suffered against the Western Bulldogs in round six. Schoenmaker could be available after missing the past fortnight with concussion. Van Es has been placed on the inactive list due to a long-term ankle injury, following his third bout of surgery. – Josh Gabelich
PLAYER | INJURY | ESTIMATED RETURN |
---|---|---|
Harry Arnold | Back | 4-5 weeks |
Will Edwards | Leg | 1 week |
Robbie Fox | Shoulder | 2-3 weeks |
Peter Ladhams | Concussion | 1 week |
Lachlan McAndrew | Concussion | Test |
Tom McCartin | Concussion | 1 week |
Callum Mills | Shoulder/calf | 4-5 weeks |
Luke Parker | Suspension | TBC |
Sam Reid | Foot | TBC |
Corey Warner | Ankle | 1 week |
Updated: May 21, 2024 |
Early prognosis
McCartin will miss again as he recovers from the concussion he suffered against the Giants. With the Swans to have the bye in round 12, the key back should return to face Geelong on June 9, which is more than five weeks after the Giants game. Fox will miss around three weeks with an AC joint injury suffered against the Blues, a prognosis that is better than first thought. Mills is increasing his running volume as he gets closer to a return to full fitness, while Parker's suspension means his long wait for a senior game in 2024 will continue. - Martin Smith
PLAYER | INJURY | ESTIMATED RETURN |
---|---|---|
Oscar Allen | Knee | 3 weeks |
Harry Barnett | Shin | 1-2 week |
Rhett Bazzo | Groin | 4-5 weeks |
Elijah Hewett | Foot | Post-bye |
Callum Jamieson | Hamstring | 1 week |
Noah Long | Knee | Season |
Jack Petruccelle | Ankle | 1-2 weeks |
Elliot Yeo | Groin | Test |
Updated: May 21, 2024 |
Early prognosis
Yeo has been able to train and is pain-free after missing with a groin issue, with a fitness test now looming for the midfield star. Ruckman Matt Flynn meanwhile comes off the injury list and will play match minutes this week after recovering from a tendon injury where the hamstring meets the knee. Petruccelle will need at least one more week to recover from a low-grade syndesmosis injury. Allen is building his training loads and will join some drills later this week. – Nathan Schmook
PLAYER | INJURY | ESTIMATED RETURN |
---|---|---|
Nick Coffield | Shoulder | 3-5 weeks |
Ryan Gardner | Wrist | 3+ months |
Jason Johannisen | Hamstring | 4-5 weeks |
Tom Liberatore | Concussion | 2-3 weeks |
Bailey Smith | Knee | Season |
Cody Weightman | Elbow | 5-6 weeks |
Updated: May 21, 2024 |
Early prognosis
Johannisen won't be available until after the Western Bulldogs' mid-season bye in round 15 after straining his hamstring at training last week. Gardner ruptured a ligament in his wrist and will be sidelined for at least three months. Liberatore could return within a few weeks after being given the green light to return from concussion after extensive testing this month. – Josh Gabelich
