ADELAIDE

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

 Tom Doedee Knee Season
 Cam Ellis-Yolmen Shin 1-2 weeks
 Jordan Galluci Concussion Test
 Alex Keath Knee Test
 Tom Lynch Calf 2 weeks
 Ned McHenry Back 1 week
 Myles Poholke Calf 3 weeks
 Daniel Talia Ankle Test
 Updated: Tuesday, July 9

Early prognosis

TaliaKeath and Gallucci are in doubt for Saturday night's clash with Gold Coast at Metricon Stadium. Talia injured his ankle in a marking contest in the Crows' 57-point loss to Port Adelaide, but finished the game. Keath was also able to return to play after sustaining bone bruising and swelling to his left knee in an aerial contest. Both will be tested at Thursday's main training session. Gallucci was concussed in the second quarter and has shown positive signs of improvement early this week. Lynch will miss another two weeks with his calf injury taking longer to heal than first expected. He injured his calf in the warm-up of the round 12 game against Greater Western Sydney. Ellis-Yolmen is still struggling with a low-level stress reaction to his right fibula. Poholke will miss three weeks with a calf tendon injury suffered in the Crows' round 11 SANFL game against Sturt on June 29. - Lee Gaskin

BRISBANE

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

 Tom Cutler Foot Test
 Mitch Hinge Hamstring 5-6 weeks
 Eric Hipwood Knee TBC
 Updated: Tuesday, July 9

Early prognosis

Hipwood is the major concern ahead of Sunday's away game against Port Adelaide. His right knee had a huge brace on it at Tuesday's training session. He'll be given every chance to play but has to be in serious doubt. - Michael Whiting 

CARLTON

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

 Patrick Cripps Foot Test
 David Cuningham Knee 1 week
 Charlie Curnow Knee 2-3 weeks 
 Sam Docherty Knee  Indefinite
 Caleb Marchbank Neck Season
 Harry McKay Groin 1 week
 Liam Stocker Foot Test 
 Tom Williamson Back Indefinite
 Updated: Tuesday, July 9

Early prognosis

The Blues expect Cripps and McKay to return on Saturday, though Cuningham is another week away due to a knee problem. Marchbank will miss the remainder of the season with a neck injury, but the club expects Weitering to play despite a broken nose. - Riley Beveridge

COLLINGWOOD

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

 Taylor Adams Groin Test
 Dayne Beams Hip/mental health Indefinite
 Lynden Dunn Knee Season
 Tyson Goldsack Groin/hip Test
 Levi Greenwood Shoulder Test
 Jeremy Howe Calf 1 week
 Will Kelly Leg 2-3 weeks
 Tom Langdon Knee Indefinite
 Nathan Murphy Back Indefinite
 Sam Murray Provisional ASADA suspension TBC
 Ben Reid Calf TBC
 Jaidyn Stephenson Suspended 7 weeks
 Josh Thomas Hip Test
 Daniel Wells  Knee 7 weeks
 Updated: Tuesday, July 9

Early prognosis

Experienced quartet Adams and Greenwood hope to return for the clash with reigning premier West Coast in Perth, while Thomas and Goldsack also face fitness tests. Howe is at least another week away and Reid will miss multiple weeks. Langdon is making inroads, Murphy's recovery has also been slow and Kelly is also some time away. Stephenson will be available at finals time while Wells will race the clock to return before season's end. But the campaign seems over for veterans Dunn and Beams, with the latter now taking indefinite leave to deal with his mental issues. - Ben Collins

ESSENDON

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

 Patrick Ambrose Quad 2-3 weeks
 Tom Bellchambers Calf 5 weeks
 Joe Daniher Groin Season
 Sam Draper Knee Season
 Dyson Heppell Foot Test
 Michael Hurley Hip Test
 Irving Mosquito Hamstring 3-4 weeks
 Kobe Mutch Knee TBC
 Devon Smith Knee Season
 James Stewart Groin TBC
 Updated: Tuesday, July 9

Early prognosis

Heppell (foot) and Hurley (hip) will have to pass tests before playing North Melbourne on Saturday. Hurley has been managing hip issues for several years but required a scan this week and the Bombers are "hopeful" he will be available. Heppell seems more touch-and-go after missing last week's win over Sydney. Youngster Mutch is back on the injury list after suffering a fractured kneecap at VFL level and is expected to have an extended stint on the sidelines. - Callum Twomey

FREMANTLE

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

 Harley Bennell Calf TBC
 Brennan Cox Hip  3 weeks
 Stefan Giro Knee Season
 Stephen Hill Hamstring Test
 Jesse Hogan Foot TBC
 Shane Kersten Foot TBC
 Lloyd Meek Foot Season
 Alex Pearce Ankle Season
 Matt Taberner Foot Season
 Updated: Tuesday, July 9

Early prognosis

Hogan was back running last weekend, three weeks after going down with a mid-foot sprain and the Dockers will hope he can get back soon with their finals hopes fading fast. Hill completed sprint work close to top speed during training last week and won't be far away from his latest attempted comeback, which might even be against Hawthorn in Launceston this Saturday. Cox apparently missed the Western Derby with a hip complaint. Travis King

GEELONG

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

 Nakia Cockatoo Knee 2-3 weeks
 Charlie Constable Toe Test
 Jordan Cunico Ankle 2-3 weeks
 Jake Kolodjashnij Concussion Test
 Nathan Kreuger Concussion Test
 Sam Menegola Knee Test
 Esava Ratugolea Hamstring Test
 Updated: Tuesday, July 9

Early prognosis

Ratugolea will need to pass Wednesday's main session in order to put his hand up for a return. Kolodjashnij had mild symptoms early in the week with the Cats keen to see how he responds on Wednesday. Menegola is expected to come back either this week or next on restricted time in the VFL but has logged big running sessions in the past week. Constable has now missed two weeks with a toe complaint but should be back this week via the VFL, with Kreuger to be monitored after concussion kept him out last week. - Mitch Cleary

GOLD COAST

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

 Callum Ah Chee Ankle Indefinite
 Ben Ainsworth Foot 2 weeks
 Jack Bowes Quad 2 weeks
 Sam Collins Hip Season
 Brayden Crossley Personal leave TBC
 Sam Fletcher Quad Test
 Nick Holman Back Indefinite
 Jack Martin  Finger TBC
 Wil Powell Knee TBC
 Josh Schoenfeld Knee 1-2 weeks
 Rory Thompson Knee Season
 Harrison Wigg Knee Season
 Aaron Young Knee TBC
 Updated: Wednesday, July 10

Early prognosis

No confirmation on Powell's injury yet, but following Saturday's loss to Richmond, coach Stuart Dew conceded the young wingman would likely miss the rest of the season. Martin could be in a similar boat after finger surgery, but the club will know more on both after consulting specialists later in the week. Ainsworth and Bowes are now only a fortnight away from returning. - Michael Whiting

GREATER WESTERN SYDNEY

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

 Stephen Coniglio Knee Test
 Aidan Corr Calf 2-3 weeks
 Isaac Cumming Hamstring 4 weeks
 Matt de Boer Shoulder 5-7 weeks
 Lachlan Keeffe Broken hand Test
 Josh Kelly Calf 3 weeks
 Shane Mumford Soreness Test
 Xavier O'Halloran Knee 4 weeks
 Jonathon Patton Knee TBC
 Tommy Sheridan Calf TBC
 Callan Ward Knee Season
 Lachie Whitfield Collarbone Test
 Updated: Tuesday, July 9

Early prognosis

Kelly is a massive loss after coming off in the final term against Brisbane on Sunday, but the good news for the Giants is the likely availability of Coniglio, Whitfield and Mumford against Richmond. Keeffe is also a chance to be available after recovering from a broken hand. - Adam Curley

HAWTHORN

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

 Changkuoth Jiath               Broken jaw Test
 Tom Mitchell Broken leg Indefinite
 Tim Mohr Dislocated knee/ACL Season
 Dylan Moore Groin Test
 Ryan Schoenmakers Calf 2-3 weeks
 Jack Scrimshaw Knee Test
 Chad Wingard Hamstring Test
 Updated: Tuesday, July 9

Early prognosis

Scrimshaw needs only to get through training to play at AFL or VFL level this weekend after last playing on May 25, while Wingard is also edging closer following four games out. Jiath was considered as much as a month away last week, but is back doing some training and could be back playing on Sunday. Moore's injury kept him out of Friday night's clash with Collingwood, but was only minor. Marc Pittonet (concussion) has missed the past fortnight, and another ruckman, Ned Reeves, was absent from the VFL last weekend as well. - Marc McGowan

MELBOURNE

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

 Jeff Garlett Shoulder Season
 Max Gawn Ankle Test
 Marty Hore Collarbone TBC
 Kade Kolodjashnij Head TBC
 Tom McDonald Knee Season
 Jake Melksham  Foot  3-4 weeks
 Aaron Nietschke Knee Season
 Harrison Petty Concussion Test
 Joel Smith Groin Season
 Tim Smith Calf  TBC
 Tom Sparrow Knee 4-5 weeks
 Billy Stretch Foot TBC
 Aaron vandenBerg Ankle TBC
 Guy Walker Shoulder Indefinite
 Updated: Tuesday, July 9

Early prognosis

Melbourne fans will once again be on "Gawn watch" after the star ruckman was a late withdrawal to face Carlton, failing to overcome a rolled ankle. Hore will face several weeks on the sidelines after breaking his collarbone, while McDonald's season is over after tearing his meniscus. In better news for the Demons, Jake Lever and Neville Jetta are closing in on returns after playing in the VFL. – Sarah Black

NORTH MELBOURNE

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

 Taylor Garner Club suspension Round 19
 Aaron Hall Personal leave Indefinite
 Kyron Hayden Achilles Season
 Shaun Higgins AC joint 1-2 weeks
 Ben Jacobs Head/neck Indefinite
 Tom McKenzie  Back TBC
 Tom Murphy Ankle 2 weeks
 Bailey Scott Foot Indefinite
 Dom Tyson Calf TBC
 Ed Vickers-Willis Knee Season
 Will Walker Knee Season
 Tom Wilkinson Ankle Test
 Mason Wood Quad Test
 Updated: Monday, July 8

Early prognosis

Majak Daw (pelvis/hips) played three separate stints in the first quarter of his VFL return on Sunday and an announcement is still to be made on whether he backs up this weekend. There were no major fresh injuries, although second-year defender Murphy's tough season continued with an ankle setback. Wood was off and on the ground with his quad complaint against the Saints, but completed the match and may not miss a game. Luke McDonald (shoulder) and Sam Durdin (calf) are fine. Higgins is edging closer to being back and Wilkinson could play his first match since April 20, but Tyson's season now seems in doubt. - Marc McGowan

PORT ADELAIDE

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

 Travis Boak Back Test
 Tobin Cox Kidney Indefinite
 Riley Grundy Finger Test
 Jake Patmore Knee Season
 Jack Trengove Leg 2-3 weeks
 Jack Watts Leg Indefinite
 Updated: Tuesday, July 9

Early prognosis

Boak is expected to return for Sunday's crucial encounter against Brisbane at Adelaide Oval. The former captain was a late withdrawl from the Power side for last Saturday's Showdown win against Adelaide after he suffered back spasms in the warm-up. Cox lacerated his kidney during a contest in Port's 77-point win against West Adelaide in the SANFL, and he will be out in the short term. Grundy broke his finger in the same game, and will be assessed this week. - Lee Gaskin

RICHMOND

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

 Noah Balta Quad 1-2 weeks
 Josh Caddy Leg Test
 Luke English Shoulder Test
 Callum Moore Ankle 3-4 weeks
 Toby Nankervis Adductor 1-2 weeks
 Marlion Pickett Finger 2-3 weeks
 Alex Rance Knee Season
 Jack Riewoldt PCL Test
 Jack Ross Ankle 3-4 weeks
 Fraser Turner Leg 3-4 weeks
 Updated: Tuesday, July 9

Early prognosis

All eyes will be on Riewoldt this week as he presses his case to make a return from his PCL injury, while Caddy is also a chance to come back. Balta picked up a minor quad injury in the VFL and will face a few weeks on the sidelines, while Nankervis is edging closer to a return. - Sarah Black

ST KILDA

Player

Injury

 Paddy McCartin Concussion Season
 Ed Phillips Hamstring Test
 Lewis Pierce Concussion Indefinite
 Dylan Roberton Heart Season
 Jack Steven Mental health Indefinite
 Jimmy Webster Hand 1-2 weeks
 Updated: Tuesday, July 9

Early prognosis

It's unlikely Hannebery will be right for Saturday night's clash with Geelong after reporting with hamstring awareness. Battle hurt his right knee, along with his hip, early on against North Melbourne. - Dinny Navaratnam

 Darcy Cameron Quad Test
 Lance Franklin Hamstring 2-3 weeks

 Jarrad McVeigh Hamstring Test
 Sam Naismith Knee 3-4 weeks
 Callum Sinclair Shoulder 2-3 weeks
 Nick Smith Hamstring  Season
 Durak Tucker Knee TBC
 Updated: Tuesday, July 9

 Early prognosis

Cameron could be included to face Carlton this week if he can train strongly, while McVeigh is expected to be available, and is likely to play in the NEAFL. Franklin has started running but is still at least three weeks away, while Naismith is working hard on his conditioning, and could play in the final month of the year. The luckless Ling hurt his Achilles a couple of weeks ago but is expected back in the next month. - Adam Curley

 Josh Kennedy Illness Test
 Jack Petruccelle Hamstring Test
 Nathan Vardy Ankle/Knee 3 weeks
 Daniel Venables Concussion TBC
 Updated: Tuesday, July 9

Early prognosis

Kennedy is expected to return for Friday night's home game against Collingwood, while Brander and Petruccelle both ran laps and got through a light skills session on Monday ahead of likely WAFL comebacks this Sunday against West Perth.Travis King

WESTERN BULLDOGS

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

 Caleb Daniel Hamstring 1-2 weeks
 Ryan Gardner Knee 7-9 weeks
 Billy Gowers Ankle Test
 Fergus Greene Shoulder Season
 Tom Liberatore Knee Test
 Lukas Webb Ankle 3-4 weeks
 Lewis Young Ribs 1-2 weeks
 Updated: Monday, July 8

Early prognosis

Liberatore will resume full training this week and could return to the AFL sooner than expected after his knee  injury in round 13. Gowers will also rejoin the main group but might have to return via the VFL. Versatile tall Gardner hobbled off during the fourth quarter for Footscray after injuring his knee in a ruck contest. Mitch Wallis made a successful return in the VFL and is available for senior selection. - Josh Schonafinger
