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 Talia, Keath 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 Estimated Return Logan Austin Shoulder Indefinite Josh Battle Hip/knee 3-4 weeks Jack Bytel Back Season Jarryn Geary Leg 4-6 weeks Dan Hannebery Hamstring Test Dean Kent Quad Season Max King Ankle Season Billy Longer Concussion Indefinite 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

SYDNEY

Player Injury Estimated Return Darcy Cameron Quad Test Lance Franklin Hamstring 2-3 weeks Matthew Ling Achilles 3-4 weeks Jack Maibaum Knee Season 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

WEST COAST

Player Injury Estimated Return Jarrod Brander Calf Test Patrick Bines Hernia 2-3 weeks Liam Duggan Ankle 5-6 weeks Harry Edwards Foot 2-3 weeks Mark Hutchings Hamstring 2 weeks 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

*Placed on the club's long-term injury list
