Updated: May 28, 2024 |

Updated: May 28, 2024 |
Early prognosis
Collingwood’s injury list has gone from bad to worse following the draw against Fremantle last Friday night. Cox is out for six weeks with a MCL injury. Richards has a fractured metatarsal and won’t be available for at least five weeks. Mihocek suffered another hamstring strain and will miss up to a month. De Goey’s fresh abdomen injury will rule him out until the Magpies' mid-season bye in round 15. – Josh Gabelich

Matthew Taberner | Concussion | 1 week |
Updated: May 28, 2024 |
Early prognosis
Frederick pulled up well from a big hit against St Kilda and was expected to return this week after missing one week in concussion protocols. Taberner suffered a concussion early in Peel Thunder's WAFL clash. Stanley has recovered well from an ankle injury and will return in a fortnight, but the Dockers are yet to identify a timeline for O'Driscoll's return. – Nathan Schmook

Cam Guthrie | Achilles | 1-2 weeks |
Gary Rohan | Adductor | Test |
Rhys Stanley | Knee | Test |
Oli Wiltshire | Thumb | 1-2 weeks |
Updated: May 28, 2024 |
Early prognosis
Rohan is expected to face the Tigers on Saturday after recovering from an adductor injury, while Stanley is a chance to play after tweaking his medial ligament late last week. Dangerfield should be fit to face the Swans in round 13 but the club has already flagged a conservative approach, while Guthrie faces a similar timeline as he recovers from an Achilles complaint. – Michael Rogers
PLAYER | INJURY | ESTIMATED RETURN |
---|---|---|
Oskar Faulkhead | Ankle | 3 weeks |
Wil Powell | Suspension | Round 15 |
Lachie Weller | Knee | 7 weeks |
Updated: May 28, 2024 |

Updated: May 28, 2024 |
Early prognosis
The Giants will be without Coniglio for at least the next month, despite avoiding surgery, while Perryman is also facing a minimum of three weeks on the sidelines as the club's injury list lengthens again. Ash, Cumming and Kelly should return within the next month, while Buckley looks set to be available after this week's bye. Madden has undergone surgery and will be absent for a significant period. – Riley Beveridge

Jack O'Sullivan | Hamstring | 1 week |

Cooper Stephens | Achilles | 4-5 weeks |
Updated: May 28, 2024 |

Charlie Spargo | Achilles | TBC |
Daniel Turner | Calf | Test |
Updated: May 28, 2024 |
Early prognosis
Scans have cleared Petty of major damage after he was subbed out of Sunday's game with an ankle injury, with the forward a chance to face Fremantle on Sunday. Turner has recovered from a calf complaint ahead of schedule and could also be available this weekend, pending a fitness test. Fullarton, who is yet to debut for the Demons, was a late withdrawal from Sunday's emergency list after experiencing some hamstring tightness, with scans showing a low-grade hamstring strain. - Alison O'Connor
PLAYER | INJURY | ESTIMATED RETURN |
---|---|---|
Miller Bergman | Hamstring | 3 weeks |
Callum Coleman-Jones | Achilles | Season |
Josh Goater | Achilles | Season |
Hugh Greenwood | Achilles | Test |
Griffin Logue | Knee | 4 weeks |
Colby McKercher | Foot | TBC |
Jy Simpkin | Quad | 1 week |
Updated: May 28, 2024 |
Early prognosis
The Kangas had been due to decide a timeline for McKercher after this week's bye. Simpkin will likely return after the week off, while Greenwood should also be back by then. Kallan Dawson (ankle) and Brayden George (shoulder) returned through the VFL last weekend. – Riley Beveridge
PLAYER | INJURY | ESTIMATED RETURN |

Lachie Charlson | Knee | 3-5 weeks |
Hugh Jackson | Hip | 2-4 weeks |
Sam Powell-Pepper | Knee | Season |
Willie Rioli | Calf | 2-3 weeks |
Connor Rozee | Ankle | Test |
Josh Sinn | Collarbone | 5 weeks |
Updated: May 28, 2024 |
Early prognosis
Rozee will be given every chance to be available to face Carlton on Thursday night. Coach Ken Hinkley said it would likely come down to how much pain the captain could stand. Rioli will likely miss just this match with the bye to follow. – Michael Whiting
PLAYER | INJURY | ESTIMATED RETURN |
---|---|---|
Jacob Bauer | Quad | Test |
Shai Bolton | Concussion | 1 week |
Judson Clarke | ACL | Season |
Mate Colina | Back | TBC - long term |

Sam Naismith | ACL | Season |
Maurice Rioli jnr | Ankle | 6-8 weeks |
Jack Ross | Foot | 6-8 weeks |
Tim Taranto | Wrist | 1-2 weeks |
Tylar Young | ACL | Season |
Updated: May 28, 2024 |
Early prognosis
The injury list has dropped from 18 to 16 this week, with Graham, Mansell and Bauer all also set to return. Hopper's hamstring injury has not healed as quickly as first thought, with scans showing he needs more time on the sidelines, pushing out his recovery from 1-2 to 3-4 weeks. Bolton (concussion) will definitely miss the game against Geelong, while Young unfortunately ruptured his ACL in the VFL. Richmond placed Clarke, Gibcus and Naismith on the long-term injury list this week, freeing up three spots for the mid-season draft – Sarah Black
PLAYER | INJURY | ESTIMATED RETURN |
---|---|---|
Zaine Cordy | Knee | 1-3 weeks |
Jack Hayes | Knee | 6 weeks |
James Van Es | Ankle | Season |
Updated: May 28, 2024 |
Early prognosis
Luckless key forward Hayes has undergone surgery on Tuesday on his knee to treat an issue that has been causing him problems this year. Cordy is also sidelined after hyperextending his knee in the VFL. – Josh Gabelich
PLAYER | INJURY | ESTIMATED RETURN |
---|---|---|
Harry Arnold | Back | 3-4 weeks |
Jack Buller | Back | Season |
Will Edwards | Leg | Test |
Robbie Fox | Shoulder | 1-2 weeks |
Tom McCartin | Concussion | Test |
Callum Mills | Shoulder/calf | 3-4 weeks |
Luke Parker | Suspension | Round 18 |
Sam Reid | Foot | TBC |
Angus Sheldrick | Ankle | 8-10 weeks |
Corey Warner | Ankle | Test |
Updated: May 28, 2024 |
Early prognosis
Sydney's depth copped a blow this week, with young midfielder Sheldrick out for at least two months due to an ankle injury and forward Buller moved to the inactive list due to a back injury, freeing up a spot for Wednesday night's mid-season draft. It's hoped McCartin will be cleared to face Geelong on June 9, more than five weeks after suffering a concussion, although the club has taken a conservative approach with him so far. Fox should be available soon after, while Mills continues to draw nearer to his first game of the season. Parker's appeal at the VFL Tribunal failed on Monday night, meaning the earliest he will be available is round 18 of the AFL season, which is the match against North Melbourne on July 13. – Martin Smith
PLAYER | INJURY | ESTIMATED RETURN |

Oscar Allen | Knee | 2 weeks |
Rhett Bazzo | Groin | 4-5 weeks |

Updated: May 28, 2024 |
Early prognosis
Petruccelle is expected to return from a low-grade syndesmosis injury and will be tested this week. Witherden suffered calf tightness against Adelaide and will be tested this week. Edwards suffered concussion early in the Eagles' WAFL clash. Hewett has clarity on his return date, with a goal to return later this season. – Nathan Schmook
PLAYER | INJURY | ESTIMATED RETURN |
---|---|---|
Nick Coffield | Shoulder | 4-6 weeks |
Ryan Gardner | Wrist | 12-14 weeks |
Jason Johannisen | Hamstring | 4-5 weeks |
Tom Liberatore | Concussion | 1-2 weeks |

Ed Richards | Concussion | TBC |
Anthony Scott | Concussion | TBC |
Bailey Smith | Knee | Season |
Cody Weightman | Elbow | 4-5 weeks |
Updated: May 28, 2024 |
Early prognosis
Naughton was the main casualty from last Thursday night but it could have been much worse, with the key forward set to miss at least a month with an MCL injury. Richards and Scott have entered the League’s concussion protocols and won’t be available against Collingwood. O’Donnell should return after being a late out against the Swans. – Josh Gabelich
