Early prognosis It's a double blow for the Blues backline, with Simpson and Newman to miss most of the next month due to respective injury issues.

Early prognosis Livewire forward Elliott appears a certain starter against Port Adelaide at Marvel Stadium on Friday night after missing the Anzac Day clash with Essendon and defender Aish also appears likely to return. Fellow backman Appleby and midfielder Sier could return in the VFL. Mayne, Murphy and Tyler Brown will be out for about another month each, while Scharenberg won't be far behind them as he comes back from a third knee reconstruction.

Early prognosis Logue should be ready to play his first game since pre-season after falling short of a WAFL return last round, while Connor Blakely will be in the mix for senior selection having come through his return from a major hamstring injury successfully with 20 touches for Peel. Bennell is back running and aiming to return to main training in 2-3 weeks following his latest calf setback, while Ballantyne, Hill and Kersten are back running but some way off returning. – Travis King

Early prognosis This is as healthy as the Hawks have been in several weeks, and Burgoyne is set to be a welcome addition. Cousins tweaked an ankle but will miss this weekend through suspension, anyway, while Brand played out Sunday's match despite hurting his right shoulder. Key defender Koschitzke and exciting forward Ross sat out Box Hill's VFL game last week. - Marc McGowan

Early prognosis Williams could finally be ready to return after last playing in round two and it would be timely if McDonald fails to recover. Higgins will be fine to play this week after being a late out last week. Durdin is set for his first game of the year in the VFL, while McKay and Tyson will push to play after missing the past fortnight. – Marc McGowan

Early prognosis After recovering from a wrist injury, Riewoldt has gone straight back to the sidelines, although he has escaped surgery on his knee. Full-back Astbury will need to get through training this week after rolling his ankle, while Graham suffered a minor hamstring injury in the VFL. Captain Cotchin suffered a setback, pushing his recovery time out to 3-4 weeks. There's better news for Markov, who is nearly a month ahead of schedule after having minor knee surgery on a torn meniscus, while Grigg is now dealing with a hip complaint – Sarah Black

ST KILDA

Player Injury Estimated Return Logan Austin Shoulder Indefinite Josh Bruce Leg Test Jack Bytel Back Season Jake Carlisle Back Indefinite Oscar Clavarino Ankle 1-2 weeks Jarryn Geary Quad Indefinite Dan Hannebery Hamstring/calves Indefinite Max King Knee 1-2 weeks Doulton Langlands Concussion Test Jack Lonie Knee 8-10 weeks Rowan Marshall Ill Test Paddy McCartin Concussion Indefinite Lewis Pierce Concussion Test Dylan Roberton Heart Season Updated: Tues day, April 30

Early prognosis A return for McCartin might not happen this year. Bruce carried a leg injury through the Adelaide loss and needs to prove his fitness. Small forward Lonie is set for a reasonable stint on the sidelines, with captain Geary facing a similar medium-term time out of the game. The outlook for Carlisle is relatively promising, considering he's coming off back surgery. He could be back within a couple of months if everything goes to plan. - Dinny Navaratnam

SYDNEY

Player Injury Estimated Return Lance Franklin Hamstring 1 week Heath Grundy Back 3-4 weeks Will Hayward Jaw Test Kieren Jack Hip Test Jack Maibaum Knee Season Jarrad McVeigh Quad 4-6 weeks Daniel Menzel Groin Test Sam Naismith Knee TBC Nick Smith Hamstring TBC Durak Tucker Knee Indefinite Updated: Tuesday, April 30

Early prognosis Franklin was never really a chance to play after being a late withdrawal last week, but the Swans are hopeful he can be fit to face Essendon in round eight. Hayward has recovered well from surgery to repair his broken jaw and could make the trip to Brisbane this week, along with Jack, who missed last week's Sydney derby. - Adam Curley

WEST COAST

Player Injury Estimated Return Tom Barrass Foot TBC Nic Naitanui Knee Indefinite Jack Redden Achilles Test Willie Rioli Foot 3 weeks Francis Watson Shoulder 2-3 weeks Updated: Tuesday, April 30

Early prognosis Redden is in the mix to return against Gold Coast after pulling up with Achilles soreness following the Port Adelaide loss. Lewis Jetta is a watch after his left wrist was bandaged at Subiaco Oval on Tuesday, while Rioli is taking major strides forward and trained with the WAFL group before completing extra running around the boundary. Watson has suffered a significant AC injury after being stretchered from the ground during the win over Claremont, but has avoided surgery and completed some light kicking and marking – not raising his left arm above shoulder height. Barrass has successfully undergone foot surgery but a timeframe for his comeback, initially estimated around seven-to-10 weeks, is up in the air. – Travis King

WESTERN BULLDOGS

Player Injury Estimated Return Taylor Duryea Hip 4-6 weeks Fergus Greene Ankle 3-5 weeks Lin Jong Appendix 2-3 weeks Dale Morris Knee 6-8 weeks Matthew Suckling Groin 2-4 weeks Updated: Tuesday, April 30
