With the Crows having the bye this weekend, defender Brown could be available to return for their Thursday night clash with Hawthorn at Adelaide Oval in round 14. Mitch McGovern (hamstring) and Paul Seedsman (groin) made successful returns from long-term injuries in the SANFL, albeit while having their game-time managed. - Lee Gaskin

Early prognosis
The Blues will need to find a replacement for Silvagni when they take on Gold Coast at Metricon Stadium this Saturday night. The rugged defender came off early in the first quarter against Greater Western Sydney on Sunday and scans on Monday revealed bone bruising to his left knee, which should keep him out for 3-4 weeks. - Howard Kotton

The Bombers have the bye this week, and are hopeful of regaining young midfielder Parish for their round 14 clash with Sydney after missing him the past two weeks with his minor calf strain. Brown is edging closer as he recovers from an ankle injury, as is Laverde, who hasn't played since the JLT Community Series.- Callum Twomey

Brady Grey's hamstring strain in the loss to the Lions is at the lower end of the scale, in one positive to come from a dismal performance, while the Dockers would expect to get Ed Langdon and Aaron Sandilands back after the bye. Goalsneak Hayden Ballantyne should also make his second attempt at a comeback – probably with Peel although Grey's injury has opened the door – after the weekend off. - Travis King

Early prognosis
The senior list is mostly healthy although long-term injured pair Cowan and Gregson are unlikely to play again this season after undergoing surgery. Parfitt is making good progress after injuring his hamstring in round six but the Cats will be cautious, while the little known House is an outside chance to play VFL this week after making a remarkable recovery from a collarbone injury.- Peter Ryan

Haynes, Hopper and Setterfield are scheduled to resume in round 14 if they can get through the next couple of weeks on the track, but after lengthy lay-offs they will probably run out in the NEAFL. - Adam Curley

Updated: Tuesday, June 13
Early prognosis
If none of the above are available for the trip to Adelaide after the bye, the Hawks might as well bring Kelvin Moore and Chris Langford out of retirement because the backline has been stripped bare. But the likelihood is that Birchall returns for just his fourth game of the year while the suspicion here is that Hodge was managed last weekend against Gold Coast so that he plays his 300th game later this season at the MCG rather than Launceston as scheduled. His return, along with that of Breust and Birchall should ensure that the Hawks take a more competitive team to play the Crows in what shapes as a difficult evening in any event. Gibson is one to watch because if his groin complaint is serious we may not see him again this season - which could possibly be his last in the AFL. - Ashley Browne

All eyes will be on Gawn on the training track this week as he bids to prove his fitness for the game against the Dogs. The Demons are hopeful he will be right to play, but three six-day breaks over the coming weeks will factor into the club's thinking. Hogan is still at least a month away from a return, the Demons revealed on Tuesday. - Ben Guthrie

Young defender Vickers-Willis will be missing for up to eight weeks after suffering a knee injury against Richmond before the bye. That blow comes on top of Jacobs and Wright progressing slower than hoped with their respective ailments. Neither player has been sighted at AFL level this year. Veteran forward Lindsay Thomas is available after suspension, but will almost certainly resume in the VFL. - Marc McGowan

Vlastuin is likely to be held back one more week, but the Tigers are planning to bring draftee Graham off the long-term injury list to play limited VFL minutes if he gets through training this week. Elton's shoulder injury does not require surgery but he faces up to a month on the sidelines for rest and rehabilitation. - Nathan Schmook

Mav Weller rolled his right ankle for the third time this season against the Crows but came back on and played well, so he should be right. Tough nut Wright copped a shoulder knock against the Crows and Paddy McCartin has been ruled out for at least a week after pulling up sore. - Dinny Navaratnam
