Crouch will miss a second straight game with a small muscle tear near his hip, leading into the abdominal area. Milera has been cleared to face West Coast on Saturday in his first game since an AC joint injury in round five. Hartigan will also take on the Eagles having passed concussion tests this week. - Lee Gaskin

Hodge will be tested closer to game day, but after copping the niggle late last week would have to be in some doubt. Bad news with confirmation first-round draftee Smith has a stress reaction in his foot and will need an extended stint on the sidelines. - Michael Whiting 

The Blues expect to regain defensive duo Simpson and Plowman for this week's clash with the Saints, but Jones will miss a third-straight match due to concussion. Murphy will miss at least the next fortnight having suffered fractured ribs against the Giants, while Petrevski-Seton and Cuningham will undergo fitness tests later this week due to tightness and soreness respectively. - Riley Beveridge

Losing Smith for the season is a real blow for the Bombers given his importance in the midfield and in attack. Fantasia is still a couple of weeks away, but the Bombers will have Brown and McKernan available this week against Richmond. - Callum Twomey

Taberner going down on the same weekend as Darcy thins the big man stocks, with Sandilands still yet to have a timeframe to return. Bennell should be back in his latest bid to save his career for Peel against West Perth this Saturday, provided he gets through training. - Travis King

Miller was in a moon boot last week but the club says it's precautionary and he should be available this weekend. Hanley is more problematic after undergoing surgery to drain fluid from a badly corked quad, while Ah Chee will return through the NEAFL. - Michael Whiting

Williams isn't likely to face Melbourne on Sunday but Coniglio and Corr should be right for the MCG clash. Both will hit the track on Wednesday to confirm their availability. Langdon couldn't train last week after only one game back, so he could miss again. - Adam Curley

McEvoy is the major news here. His right ankle got caught under him in a Nathan Broad tackle and he tried to return in the second quarter, but was done for the day by half-time. McEvoy sustained a syndesmosis sprain and could be out for a significant time. Ex-Saint Minchington has suffered a second hamstring setback this year. Frawley, Smith and Wingard are all a chance to return against Port Adelaide on Saturday. The Hawks completed only a light training session on Tuesday, but Wingard moved well and remained on the ground for longer than most of his teammates to complete extra goalkicking practice. - Marc McGowan

The tide is finally starting to turn at Melbourne, with a handful of players, including Lewis, available for selection. Timelines have now been set for Kolodjashnij (who is building his confidence and will return to full training this week) and vandenBerg. Five players are down as tests this week, including the concussed trio of Neal-Bullen, Salem and Tim Smith. Jake Lever will spend another week in the VFL building match fitness after a knee reconstruction. – Sarah Black

Sam Wright (ankle) is expected to be available for selection, along with Ben McKay (quad) – after last playing on April 13 – and Bailey Scott (concussion) after last week's VFL bye. Murphy will have to pass a fitness test after being out for the past five weeks. - Marc McGowan

Lycett is in doubt for the Power's clash with Hawthorn in Launceston on Saturday. The ruckman pulled up sore with a tight adductor after the Power's 38-point win against Gold Coast. Gray and Jonas will be assessed this week as they aim to return to face the Hawks. Dixon and Ebert are on track to return after the Power's mid-season bye. - Lee Gaskin

The only addition to Richmond's injury list this week is draftee English, who recovered from his two-week bout of tonsillitis only to suffer a long-term shoulder injury. Graham is a test this week, but it remains to be seen whether he will return through the VFL. Skipper Cotchin is still on track for a round 11 return, while Riewoldt is expected to start jogging at the end of this week at the very earliest. Ross has undergone surgery for his ankle injury, in a similar procedure to that of teammates Dan Butler and Kane Lambert last year. - Sarah Black

The Saints are targeting Sandringham's VFL clash with Coburg on Sunday, June 2, as the return date for Hannebery, who's back in full training. Phillips was hurt in the contest that saw Magpie Travis Varcoe banned for one game. - Dinny Navaratnam

Franklin and Kennedy will test themselves at Wednesday's main session in a bid to face Collingwood on Friday night. Jones' hamstring injury has been described as minor by the Swans, but they said the same about Franklin's issue, and he's missed four games. In some good news for the young Swans, veteran McVeigh could be back on the field as early as next week. - Adam Curley

There will be a minimum of three changes – Hickey, Jetta and Venables – from the Melbourne triumph, and Schofield should be back after missing due to rib soreness. Barrass is back running in the gym, however his return to play date remains around the two-month mark, despite missing five games already. Edwards will be in a moon boot for a month after becoming the latest Eagle to succumb to foot stress fractures. - Travis King

English remains under a cloud from what the club describes as persistent soreness after several knocks a fortnight ago in the win over Richmond. Greene could return in the VFL on Saturday night, while Morris is on the path to football post-bye. Matthew Suckling had treatment on his right calf and Achilles but ran out the game against Geelong and hasn't been added to the injury list. - Paul Bastin
