Darcy is also on track and has ticked all boxes so far after copping an accidental knee to the head. Erasmus is in concussion protocols after a head knock in the WAFL. Brandon Walker got through his first game in the WAFL after a shoulder injury and felt no pain, putting him in the AFL selection frame this week. - Nathan Schmook

Cam Guthrie | Achilles | 3 weeks |
Tom Hawkins | Foot | 3-5 weeks |
Oli Wiltshire | Pelvis | 2 weeks |

It's bad news for ruck Conway with a navicular stress fracture ending his season. He will have surgery and is expected to be able to complete a full pre-season. Guthrie finally has some clarity on his return, expected in three weeks after a frustrating period dealing with his Achilles problem. In better news, Bruhn is a chance to return against the Bulldogs this weekend after strong progress in his recovery from a wrist fracture, while forward Shannon Neale is available after being cleared of damage from a knock to his throat. – Michael Rogers

Harry Rowston | Back | Indefinite |
Sam Taylor | Testicle | 1-2 weeks |
Updated: July 16, 2024 |
Early prognosis
The Giants are hopeful Coniglio plays this week, having been subbed off with soreness in his shoulder last weekend. He didn't require scans, so it will simply be a case of whether he makes it through training in the coming days.

Joel Smith | Suspension | Indefinite |
Charlie Spargo | Achilles | Season |
Updated: July 16, 2024 |
Early prognosis
Gawn has been "incredibly diligent" in his rehab and is pushing to play against Fremantle after just one week on the sidelines with an ankle injury. A decision on his fitness will be made later in the week. Hunter succumbed to calf tightness while playing VFL on the weekend, with subsequent scans showing a low-grade strain. He is expected to miss one week. Spargo is out for the remainder of the season after undergoing surgery on his troublesome Achilles last week. - Alison O'Connor
PLAYER | INJURY | ESTIMATED RETURN |
---|---|---|
Callum Coleman-Jones | Achilles | Season |
Hamish Free | Concussion | Indefinite |
Brayden George | Knee | Season |
Josh Goater | Achilles | Season |
Updated: July 16, 2024 |

Tim Taranto | Concussion | 1 week |
Tylar Young | ACL | Season |
Updated: July 16, 2024 |
Early prognosis
Martin once again is a test with his ongoing back issue, while Lynch is still sidelined for a few more weeks, having injured his "good" hamstring four weeks ago. After a frustrating season, Ross is within touching distance of a return after hurting his foot in April. – Sarah Black

PLAYER | INJURY | ESTIMATED RETURN |
---|---|---|
Jack Buller | Back | Season |
Harry Cunningham | Hamstring | Test |
Jacob Konstanty | Foot | TBC |
Justin McInerney | Knee | TBC |
Patrick Snell | Hamstring | 4-6 weeks |
Updated: July 16, 2024 |
Early prognosis
Flying high on top of the ladder, the Swans also have one of the shortest injury lists in the competition, although the addition of McInerney is a huge blow given his form this season. The versatile 23-year-old will miss at least a few weeks and his return to play remains up in the air. Cunningham is expected to return after a hamstring issue, while Isaac Heeney will also be back from suspension. Callum Mills has pulled up a bit sore after playing a full game last week in his comeback from a long-term injury and might be an option to take the sub vest against Brisbane as the club carefully manages his return. Young guns Konstanty and Snell both picked up injuries in the past week. - Martin Smith
PLAYER | INJURY | ESTIMATED RETURN |

Early prognosis
Brockman has a syndesmosis injury and will miss this week as the Eagles work on a plan and timeline for his return. McGovern won't travel to face the Saints as he recovers from rib and lung injuries. Waterman faces a fitness test as he manages some soreness around his knee. Flynn will also be tested after taking slightly longer than planned to recover from an ankle issue. Petruccelle is expected to be available after overcoming a hamstring strain suffered at training, while Jamieson continues to work through a patella tendon knee issue. – Nathan Schmook

Naughton is on track to exit concussion protocols in time, but O’Donnell might need another week before being cleared to return. – Josh Gabelich
