The Crows held a closed training session at Football Park on Thursday. Skipper Taylor Walker and forward Mitch McGovern both trained, but that star goal-sneak Eddie Betts was ill and sat out the session. However, the club says Betts will be alright to face Hawthorn at the MCG on Saturday. - Lee Gaskin

The Lions will take a couple off their injury list this week with Jono Freeman (cheekbone) and Marco Paparone (hamstring) both available to play in the NEAFL. Hugh McCluggage is back into full training but is still a couple of weeks away, while Josh Schache's knee injury has lingered a little longer than initially expected. Both should come back through the reserves in coming weeks. - Michael Whiting

The Blues remain unsure about the severity of Jed Lamb's knee injury. Lamb, a late withdrawal from the season-opener against Richmond, had had scans and is being assessed.

Andrew Phillips is running as he recovers from a foot injury and the Blues hope he will be available in two weeks. - Howard Kotton

Elliott has been ruled out of round two and will need at least one VFL game first before the Pies consider selecting him. De Goey will be sidelined for an extended period, set to miss another two or three games with a broken knuckle in his right hand followed by a club-imposed three-match suspension for initially lying about how he sustained the injury. The date for ex-Roo Wells' long-awaited debut for the Pies continues to drift. Wills has recovered from a quad problem and could be available to play in the VFL side in the next week or two. - Ben Collins

Harley Bennell wasn't sighted at Wednesday training after receiving treatment on his sore calves, but the ex-Gold Coast star is expected to hit the track with the main group next week as he builds towards a playing return. Former skipper David Mundy and defender Michael Johnson both left the warm up and ran laps during the 30 minutes open to media. Mundy left the track early, although neither veteran seemed in any obvious discomfort ahead of Sunday's clash against Port Adelaide. - Travis King

Coniglio is a massive worry with him being listed as six weeks away, the same as his initial diagnosis a fortnight ago, while Brett Deledio's return still has no set date.

Otherwise the Hawks are in fine fettle. - Ashley Browne

Track report
All eyes will be on Max Gawn after the big man injured his wrist at training. The Demons insist Jesse Hogan will be fit to face the Blues on Sunday. Hogan was on crutches on Monday after rolling his ankle against St Kilda. The spearhead did not train with teammates on Tuesday, instead completing an 'off legs' session in the gym. Gawn was on light duties and walked laps on Tuesday but then fell and hurt his wrist during Thursday's session. Michael Hibberd worked hard in rehab on Tuesday and the Demons are hopeful they will have him available to play soon. The Demons have upgraded Mitch King back to the senior list in place of Joel Smith who is set to miss four months after shoulder surgery on Tuesday.- Ben Guthrie

Waite was the only addition to North's list after round one.

Wright will likely need more game time in the VFL before being considered for senior selection. - Nick Bowen

It was business as usual for the Power at Alberton Oval on Thursday morning. Coach Ken Hinkley has just about a full squad to choose from for Sunday's clash with Fremantle at Adelaide Oval. Small forward Jarman Impey is set to come into the side after serving a club-imposed one-game suspension for an off-field incident. Impey stood out during a SANFL trial last Thursday night, with either Sam Gray or Karl Amon likely to make way. Nathan Krakouer and Aidyn Johnson are also both available for the match with the Dockers, but it's hard for the Power to make too many changes after their great win over Sydney in round one.- Lee Gaskin

Midfielder Dion Prestia was managed late this week and did not run at all in Wednesday's captain's run at Punt Road Oval. The Tigers have also lost Shai Bolton after the club accepted a ruling for him to serve his VFL suspension in that competition's opening round in three weeks. Steve Morris is set to play his first VFL game this week after recovering from a knee reconstruction, so he comes off the injury list. Graham is on the long-term injury list after falling on his ankle during a training drill last Tuesday. He has a small fracture in his tibia bone and ligament damage. Hampson has undergone multiple surgeries on his back injury but is able to train lightly after the Tigers identified the specific area of the ruckman's back that is troubling him. - Nathan Schmook

Robinson has had surgery on his collarbone and will be assessed further next week. Papley and Rohan could be back on the senior list in the near future but will likely need time in the NEAFL after missing most of the pre-season, while Cameron should play in the NEAFL this week after missing round one with an infected finger. - Adam Curley

The ruckman was joined in stationary handball drills by Dom Sheed, who played for the Royals in his comeback from a corked calf, plus key defenders Eric Mackenzie and Jeremy McGovern. McGovern left the track early but appeared fine. Josh Hill trained after being a late withdrawal from a media conference on Monday due to illness. – Travis King

The loss of Dale Morris for the next two months is a massive blow, but the veteran has avoided surgery. Tory Dickson can't take a trick, with the goalsneak succumbing to an abdominal strain just weeks after returning from off-season groin surgery. Tim English should be right for a VFL practice match this weekend after overcoming a shin complaint. - Ryan Davidson
