The Crows could look to impressive draftee Sid Draper as a replacement in the 22 for Rachele, while wingman Luke Nankervis is sure to be considered after an impressive performance in the SANFL with 28 disposals and 11 marks. Lachlan Murphy is another who will be discussed to replace Rachele, with the forward impressive around the ball and able to burst forward. Luke Pedlar is another who could come in and be a high-impact substitute. If the undefeated Crows want to change in the key defensive posts against Gold Coast and Ben King, Jordon Butts is an option. – Nathan Schmook

With Lohmann to miss for the second time in three weeks, Chris Fagan will have to make at least one change for Saturday's trip to the MCG to face Richmond. Will McLachlan, who made his debut against West Coast in round two, is a nice like-for-like swap. There is also the option of recalling Conor McKenna or elevating Bruce Reville from the sub role after his excellent cameo against Geelong on Saturday night. Tom Doedee will return from his third knee reconstruction in the VFL on Saturday. – Michael Whiting

The Blues will put Williams (soreness) through a fitness test later this week to determine his availability for Thursday night's clash with the Pies. An official call is yet to be made on whether Elijah Hollands (personal) or Harry McKay (personal) return at some level this weekend, though both have enjoyed solid training blocks across the last few days. Matt Carroll (ankle) and Corey Durdin (ankle) would have played VFL last week, but their practice match with Footscray was cancelled. They'll get their chance in the reserves this weekend. Lucas Camporeale, Will White and Ashton Moir were among the emergencies at AFL level last week and will be considered for selection as Michael Voss' side looks to bounce back from an 0-3 start to the season. – Riley Beveridge

In the mix

Brody Mihocek is available after missing the win over the Western Bulldogs due to general soreness. Collingwood will need to replace McInnes with premiership player Billy Frampton and Charlie Dean two options under consideration. Oleg Markov is also available after recovering from a calf injury. Dan Houston broke his nose at training on last week but will face Carlton on Thursday night. – Josh Gabelich

The Bombers have a bye this week but were dealt a double blow at training on Tuesday with Edwards rupturing his ACL, which will likely see the forward miss the rest of the season, and gun midfielder Caldwell hurting his hamstring. Several other players are nearing returns. Will Setterfield and Jayden Laverde played in the VFL on the weekend, while Parish was due to return but missed. There was a blow, however, with pick No.39 Clarke suffering a collarbone injury. Perkins and Tsatas could be back for Gather Round, while Wright and Langford are unlikely to be far behind. – Dejan Kalinic

In the mix

Darcy and Young are both set to play this week, with Darcy most likely returning through the WAFL after a long layoff and interrupted pre-season. Corey Wagner could also return after calf tightness saw him miss against West Coast, with the half-back needing to get through training this week to prove his fitness. In-form midfielder Jaeger O'Meara was also a late withdrawal for the Derby with illness but should return, with a squeeze looming at the Dockers. Dual Brownlow medallist Nat Fyfe increased his game time in the WAFL for the third straight week in his comeback from knee surgery.  – Nathan Schmook

Stewart was a late withdrawal from the clash with Brisbane despite being named, but the Cats are again optimistic he will be fit to face Melbourne on Friday night. The same goes for Neale, who injured his right ankle early against the Lions. Young ruck Edwards has a timeline for his return to play, expected within a month, but there's no such clarity for senior players Martin and Guthrie. Forward Shaun Mannagh was a standout in the VFL Cats' 30-point win over the Northern Bullants with 23 disposals and three goals, while midfielder George Stevens continued his prolific start to 2025 with 34 disposals in the hard-fought win. – Michael Rogers

The Suns might be 2-0, but coach Damien Hardwick has a couple of difficult selections ahead of hosting Adelaide at People First Stadium on Sunday. Ainsworth missed the win over Melbourne, but is a regular and would come straight back in, forcing the squeeze on someone to be bumped out. The toughest decision might come in the backline though. With the Crows sporting three genuine tall targets in Riley Thilthorpe, Darcy Fogarty and Taylor Walker, do the Suns recall powerful 195cm defender Caleb Graham, or stick with the leaner, but more skilled, 194cm Joel Jeffrey to partner Sam Collins and Mac Andrew? Tough decision. – Michael Whiting

In the mix

There's a relatively clean bill of health for the Giants ahead of Sunday's clash with the Eagles. Jake Riccardi (22 disposals, one goal) and Max Gruzewski (14 disposals, four goals) were among the best at VFL level and will contend for the second ruck/forward spot behind first-choice big man Kieren Briggs. Young forward Harvey Thomas (20 disposals, five tackles) was also impressive in the reserves after missing the first fortnight of the season through suspension. James Leake, Cody Angove and Leek Aleer were among the emergencies at AFL level and will also be considered. – Riley Beveridge

In the mix

Sam Mitchell heads to the bye with a relatively clean bill of health and a handful of players in form at Box Hill, including Henry Hustwaite who amassed 38 disposals again in the VFL. Worpel and Macdonald will both push to be available against Port Adelaide in the final game of Gather Round. Scrimshaw still has one game to serve for the three-game suspension he copped. – Josh Gabelich

In the mix

Caleb Windsor is set to face the Cats on Friday night after missing two weeks with a foot infection, while Lever and Spargo could also boost the Dees provided they pass fitness tests. Kozzy Pickett will also return after completing his three-game suspension from round 24 last year. Young key forward Jefferson is a test as he recovers from surgery on his broken hand suffered against North Melbourne. Lindsay should only miss a short period after avoiding major knee damage, while Tholstrup and Kentfield will be available from next week. Pre-season signing Jai Culley is also set to play this weekend at VFL level after recovering from foot soreness. Daniel Turner pushed his case for an immediate recall with five goals, 20 disposals and 14 marks in a two-point VFL win over Gold Coast, while Bailey Laurie had 32 disposals, 10 tackles and a goal. – Michael Rogers

The Kangas are hopeful Wardlaw can make his return through the VFL this weekend following a strong patch of training. Griffin Logue (hamstring) should be available for AFL selection in a timely boost ahead of Saturday night's clash with the Swans, though Fisher (concussion) and Ford (hamstring) have been sidelined. George (knee) is also progressing and should have a clearer timetable for his return across the next fortnight. Matt Whitlock (27 disposals, seven marks) once again impressed at VFL level over the weekend and should come into consideration for a senior debut. Riley Hardeman, Finnbar Maley and Kallan Dawson were among the AFL emergencies last weekend. – Riley Beveridge

In the mix

The cavalry, or at least part of it, could be about to return for Port ahead of Sunday's match at Adelaide Oval against St Kilda. Dual All-Australian Butters is among three players that will be tested this week. It would be an understatement to say Butters has been missed and would be an automatic inclusion. Lord's return would provide some relief for a forward line that is already missing Lukosius and Marshall and selected Ivan Soldo to play alongside Mitch Georgiades last week. Jones would also come under consideration if he was passed fit. – Michael Whiting

In the mix

Wingers Banks and Ralphsmith are chances to return against Brisbane, the latter having injured himself in the match simulation against West Coast six weeks ago, while Smillie is set to return through the VFL. Fawcett's VFL appearance lasted less than a quarter, suffering a broken nose and concussion that will sideline him for a handful of weeks. Clarke has a return timeframe for the first time after rupturing his ACL in April last year. Kane McAuliffe was once again Richmond's best in the VFL, with 28 and nine clearances, while draftee small forward Jasper Alger is putting pressure on after 12 touches and two goals. Rhyan Mansell is challenging his three-match ban at the Tribunal on Tuesday night. – Sarah Black

In the mix

Steele will undergo a fitness test later this week ahead of the trip to face Port Adelaide, after the captain injured his knee at training last week and missed the win over Richmond. Butler could be available for the first time in 2025, while King will miss one more game. Alix Tauru is set to play his first game for Sandringham after recovering from stress fractures in his back. Arie Schoenmaker was busy in the VFL again, while Hugh Boxshall is closing in on a debut after being considered last week. – Josh Gabelich

In the mix

Papley will miss at least this week's match against North Melbourne due to a heel injury suffered at training last week, with his return date still unclear. Adams, Mills and Fox were expected to be 1-2 weeks away but have all had notable setbacks in their recoveries. Adams will now be out for up to six weeks, Mills is now 2-3 weeks away from resuming full training again and Fox is going to have a fortnight off before resuming his rehab. Logan McDonald, however, will be available for selection against the Kangaroos after recovering from an ankle issue that has hampered him since late last year. Whether the West Australian returns to the forward line or takes up a spot in defence is also a matter of intrigue, as is the flow-on effect for Tom McCartin, who shifted back for the win over Fremantle. Caiden Cleary could also be considered for a senior recall this week, possibly in place of Papley, after picking up 37 disposals in the VFL two weeks ago.  Gulden is set to meet with his surgeon next week, with AFL.com.au reporting a return around the mid-season bye is looking likely. – Martin Smith

The Eagles will need to replace star defender McGovern after confirming he had suffered a "lower end" adductor strain. The options include draftee Jobe Shanahan, who can play at either end of the ground and impressed during summer match practice as a key defender. Pre-season addition Sandy Brock is also an option, while co-captain Oscar Allen could swing back as he did late against Fremantle. Star forward Waterman has been in full training for a week but still has boxes to tick this week in his recovery from a back-related calf injury. With issues in the midfield, the Eagles could turn to impressive youngster Clay Hall, who was surprisingly omitted after an excellent performance against Brisbane. Draftee Tom Gross has hit form during WAFL practice matches and could be considered alongside defender Bo Allan to debut. - Nathan Schmook

Bontempelli remains at least three weeks away from returning from the complex calf injury he suffered in the AAMI Community Series. Treloar suffered a setback last week, while Weightman won't be available until the second half of the season. Cleary will aim to prove his fitness later in the week after missing due to a nasty concussion, while Taylor Duryea is also on track to be available after being managed against Carlton. – Josh Gabelich
