Early prognosis

Walker suffered a poke in the eye against the Western Bulldogs, resulting in a tear in his retina, undergoing laser surgery on Monday.

Parnell has resumed full training, with Milera will start running on grass next week after starting on an anti-gravity treadmill. – Nathan Schmook  

Early prognosis

Payne ran for the first time since his injury on Tuesday, with the hope of returning against Essendon in the final round. Hipwood has also ramped up his running, including some agility, but will be further tested later in the week. – Michael Whiting

The Blues will lose Curnow and McKay among six enforced changes this weekend. Saad and Martin will join them, while Fogarty will miss the season and Boyd will struggle to get back. Cerra won't return before finals, should the Blues qualify. Marchbank will spend another week in the AFL's protocols, while Fantasia will have to prove his fitness later this week.

Early prognosis

De Koning has had surgery on his sore knee after missing last week's win over Fremantle and is in some doubt to play before finals. Bruhn's rough injury run in the second half of the season continued against Fremantle and he will miss Saturday's clash with St Kilda with concussion, as will Clohesy after copping a knock in the VFL. O'Connor and Guthrie face uncertain timelines for their returns, while Hawkins continues to push for full fitness ahead of the end of the home and away season. - Michael Rogers

Early prognosis

Early prognosis

Jiath missed Sunday's game due to calf tightness after pulling up sore at training last Friday and will need to prove his fitness later in the week. Reeves is on track to return from a back issue that has been niggling in the second half of the season. Macdonald will miss another game with an ankle issue. – Josh Gabelich

Early prognosis

Oliver has been ruled out for the year following surgery on his hand, on top of an issue with his knee and ribs. Bowey and Woewodin both missed against Port with illness and are yet to be cleared to play Gold Coast this week. May also missed Saturday night's game and is no certainty to face the Suns, either. With the Demons' finals hopes over, Windsor is unlikely to feature again this season. Christian Salem was expected to be at least 1-2 weeks away but made a miraculous recovery from his hamstring injury to feature against the Power. - Alison O'Connor

Early prognosis

The Kangas are hopeful that Sheezel passes a fitness test later this week, while Stephens and Wardlaw are also a chance to come back into the side. Zac Fisher (foot) will be available after a few weeks on the sidelines. – Riley Beveridge

Early prognosis

After being an outside chance to return, Lynch has officially been put on ice to ensure a full off- and pre-season. Baker still has another week on the sidelines after suffering a concussion at training last Thursday. Both Liam Fawcett (back) and Jack Ross (foot) made returns through the VFL after long-term injuries, while Kane McAuliffe was a late withdrawal with a chest infection. Brown has a shopping list of injuries; in a moon boot for syndesmosis, has had surgery on his right shoulder, and is due for surgery on his left shoulder next month. There's now public clarity on the nature of Colina's season-long back issue – bone edema, a build-up of fluid in the bone – with scans showing the issue has now fully healed. - Sarah Black

Early prognosis

Barrass failed a fitness test late week and will need to prove he is over hamstring and back stiffness to face Carlton on Sunday. Harry Edwards is due to come out of concussion protocols and will be available if he gets through main training. Chesser was ruled out of WAFL action last weekend with groin soreness. Luke Edwards still had concussion signs late last week and has been ruled out for the season. Likewise Sheed, who underwent a foot operation on Tuesday. – Nathan Schmook

Early prognosis

All-Australian ruckman English has been ruled out of Sunday’s game against North Melbourne due to an ankle injury, with his round 24 availability no guarantee.
