Seedsman is expected to return from a fractured finger for Friday night's clash with Sydney at the SCG. Kelly tweaked his ankle in the round one loss to Hawthorn and jogged laps at training on Wednesday, but the Crows are confident he will play. However, Douglas will miss the game with an ankle injury. The Crows will consult a specialist to determine the next course of action, but say the high ankle sprain is quite significant. Doedee will miss the season with a torn ACL. McAdam injured his calf in the final few minutes of last Friday night's SANFL trial against Port Adelaide. He is expected to miss four weeks. - Lee Gaskin

It's mostly rosy for the Lions with no setbacks from the weekend and the return of Nick Robertson, Tom Fullarton and Connor McFadyen through a NEAFL practise match. The one setback on the list is the regression of Western Bulldogs recruit Adams who is still a month away from a return. Last week the club assessed him as two weeks away, but Adams is still struggling following surgery. - Michael Whiting 

The Blues will put Kennedy, Kreuzer and Silvagni through fitness tests this week, though none of that trio is expected to return via the AFL. De Koning will miss a minimum of two months after hurting his knee in a VFL practice game. The Blues are hopeful Marchbank and Macreadie will be back within the next month. - Riley Beveridge

Hoskin-Elliott, Adams and Murphy will be sidelined for the opening rounds, while Dunn is back in full training and Wells should join him soon. Murphy and Reid are running while a longer-term view will be taken with Scharenberg as he returns from a third knee reconstruction. - Ben Collins

If there was any good news out of Essendon's shocking start to the season it was that the club appeared to get through its loss to Greater Western Sydney unscathed. Martin Gleeson made a long awaited comeback from his ankle injury last year in the VFL on the weekend and played 60 per cent game time, while Mason Redman, also back from an ankle injury, returned to the field as well but is unlikely to push for senior selection just yet. Stringer hurt his foot in the final moments of Sunday's loss but has been cleared of structural damage. - Callum Twomey

All eyes will be on Hogan this week with the boom forward expected to put his hand up to play Gold Coast after being ruled out of round one. Ballantyne added to Fremantle's soft-tissue woes after going down late in the thumping of North Melbourne last Sunday. Sandilands is back running on the oval at training as he recovers from a long-term calf setback, and Bennell is also building his workload after his latest issue. – Travis King

The list just keeps growing for the Suns. While co-captain Swallow and key defender Collins both face tests, Nick Holman, Corey Ellis and Jack Leslie are all now available for selection. Young is also close to a return – most likely through the NEAFL – after a few weeks out with an ankle injury. - Michael Whiting

The Giants hope to have Kelly and Nick Haynes (back) for this week's clash with Wester Coast. Kelly trained well on Sunday and Haynes got through three quarters in the reserves. Ward is running and out of the heavy brace and is ahead of schedule, but Perryman will miss several weeks after going down against Essendon. - Adam Curley

Wingard said last week he was hopeful of a round two return to football. The question is whether the coach decides he should have a run in the VFL to gain some match fitness before a senior debut. Fellow recruit Scully is edging closer to a return. Dan Howe continues to progress well from a hip complaint and played half a game in the VFL at the weekend, but he will likely have another match at that level before being considered for senior selection. Defender Mohr is the latest casualty, suffering a horrific knee dislocation in a VFL practice match which stopped the game for 45 minutes. - Nat Edwards

Lewis will miss between three and four weeks after straining his hamstring in the final training session before the game against Port. vandenBerg visited his surgeon in Sydney and is awaiting the feedback from that discussion. Tim Smith is getting closer to playing after a strong rehab approach, while Garlett is also only a couple of weeks away. – Ben Guthrie

An injury will almost certainly end the perennially unlucky Vickers-Willis' season for the fourth time in five years. Both Campbell and Thompson will be available after suspension, with the latter certain to bolster the senior side's defence. The return dates for McKenzie, Walker and Xerri remain unclear, but Anderson and Wright are now set to be back within three weeks. – Marc McGowan

Wines is expected to resume contact training this week. He was considered an outside chance to play against Carlton on Saturday, but it's more likely he returns for the round three encounter with Brisbane at the Gabba. Marshall is expected to be cleared to face the Blues after suffering a concussion against Melbourne last week. Broadbent is on track to play in Port's SANFL round one clash with West Adelaide on Friday night after a minor hamstring injury. Dixon has had minor ankle surgery in his recovery from a badly broken leg and dislocated ankle. The club isn't putting a timeline on his return, but he isn't expected back before round six. - Lee Gaskin

The biggest addition to Richmond's short injury list is five-time All Australian Rance, who ruptured his ACL in round one. Caddy is slowly getting closer to a return but didn't play any pre-season matches. He is building his running loads and training with the main group. Grigg is a way off, while young defender Miller will miss a few weeks with appendicitis. Jason Castagna (ankle), Ryan Garthwaite (Achilles) and Jacob Townsend (thigh) returned through the VFL last week. - Sarah Black

Hannebery is building up his conditioning so he can run at top speed without experiencing soreness. McCartin's situation is improving since his eighth concussion since 2014 but he's still experiencing symptoms. - Dinny Navaratnam

Menzel tweaked his groin last week so won't be back training for at least a fortnight, with a return to playing not likely in the next month. Naismith had a minor clean-up in his reconstructed knee last week and his return is unknown in a big blow for the ruckman. Kieren Jack (knee) and Tom McCartin (concussion) both played reserves last week and will play NEAFL again to push for senior selection in round three. - Adam Curley

Kennedy should be ready to return from foot soreness for the flag-raising against the Giants in his 200^th club game, while Rioli has been ruled out after a stress reaction in his foot. Cripps has made excellent progress from toe surgery and is pushing to play GWS, while Schofield will get back on the park for the WAFL side after a heavily corked quad. – Travis King

Suckling is being monitored after his ankle injury at Marvel Stadium where he damaged ligaments but ran out the game. The experienced defender trained indoors with Morris on Tuesday but will hit the track on Thursday and is likely to face Hawthorn. Cavarra, Dale and Vandermeer have returned to full training and with Johannisen inching closer to availability, the Bulldogs' list is looking healthier. Midfielder Jong is set to have his hamstring more vigorously tested in the next week or so. - Paul Bastin
