Track watch

Skipper Beams made a quicker than expected recovery and has been named to return after missing just one week with his shoulder injury. The fear is Gardiner's season could be over after his horror injury against the Bombers. Although it would leave a hole in the defence, it would also give Chris Fagan a chance to assess another player or two on his list. - Michael Whiting

The Blues will be without Curnow for up to a month after the midfielder consulted a specialist. He suffered significant bruising to his larynx during the round 14 game against Richmond and missed last Saturday’s match against Adelaide. Impressive youngster Marchbank is also sidelined with a shoulder problem. In better news, Lamb is available this weekend after missing last Saturday’s game with concussion. Silvagni and Williamson are back in full training and should be available for selection in round 17. - Howard Kotton

Defender Brown could have earned a recall to the senior team this week but his season could be over after suffering another ankle injury in the dying moments of the VFL clash last weekend. The former Cat is set to miss at least six weeks with the concern. McNiece is still recovering from a neck injury he suffered at training in recent weeks and the club is handling it in a cautious manner, while Ambrose's quad complaint will see him miss at least another two weeks. - Callum Twomey

It's not torn, but the Suns might want to err on the side of caution this week. Kolodjashnij and Matera will miss again this week, while Hall is hoping to return next week- Michael Whiting

Waite's latest injury setback will put him on the sidelines for the third time this season. He hurt the AC joint in his left shoulder in round one and copped a one-week suspension for a rough conduct charge in round seven. But Macmillan's season could be over after requiring finger surgery. Williams was a late withdrawal last week and will miss again, while Wood will also miss due to a calf problem. - Marc McGowan
