The Crows expect midfielder Knight to be available after missing last week's win over Richmond with hamstring tightness. Cheney will join the main training group next week after missing the pre-season with a groin injury, then injured his hamstring during training in the week before round one. In round two, he was listed as being 2-4 weeks away from returning. He's expected to play for the Crows in the SANFL on May 20. There's still no return date for Seedsman, who also hasn't played a game this year with a groin injury. - Lee Gaskin

There appeared to be no problems from the game against Port at the weekend but news during the week skipper Dayne Beams would miss at least two weeks was a big hit to the Lions. Tom Cutler is also out with a hamstring injury. Luckless defender Sam Skinner is only a few weeks away from returning from his second ACL injury that robbed him on the eve of his debut last year. - Michael Whiting

Silvagni was cleared of structural damage to his right shoulder after having scans, but won't face Collingwood at the MCG on Saturday. Silvagni copped a heavy knock to his shoulder in a collision with Zak Jones during the second quarter of the Blues' win over Sydney last Saturday and was sidelined for the remainder of the game. Weitering is right to take on the Magpies, but the Blues will need to find a replacement for Zac Fisher. - Howard Kotton

Ex-Cat Travis Varcoe suffered a hamstring strain in the win over his old club and will miss Saturday's clash with Carlton. Promising father-son recruit Josh Daicos is expected to return to the VFL after being sidelined with soreness at the weekend. The Pies hope Tom Langdon will resume shortly in the VFL. Ben Sinclair is still eyeing a return in the second half of the year. - Ben Collins

Michael Hartley looks set for a return to Essendon's line-up with key defenders Mitch Brown (ankle) and Patrick Ambrose (quad) both sidelined with injuries in the past week. The Bombers will have Aaron Francis, James Kelly and Matthew Leuenberger to select after resting them last week, while David Myers has played two games at VFL level so is ready to go. - Callum Twomey

Michael Apeness has come along in his recovery from a torn posterior cruciate ligament in recent weeks and is on the verge of returning for Peel after being sidelined since mid-March. However, fears Zac Clarke won't play at all this season are growing with no return in sight still for the big man after three bouts of surgery to his left knee since last season. - Travis King

May has been named to play Geelong, while Kolodjashnij is also returning after a virus stopped him playing last week. Rosa and Hall have shown good early signs after suffering concussion at the weekend, but will be monitored through the week. - Michael Whiting

Davis and Coniglio trained on Tuesday and will play this week if they pull up well, with Coniglio coming straight in despite missing seven weeks with his ankle problem. The co-captain and his deputy will help offset the loss of Haynes and Reid, who both have hamstring issues. Mumford failed to train on Tuesday but told AFL.com.au that he's a certainty to play in Friday night's clash against St Kilda. - Adam Curley

Birchall and Rioli will be welcome ins on Sunday against the Demons, but the news on Miles is disappointing. He has played two games at AFL level and was in line to play more senior footy sooner rather than later. The news on Ceglar is promising; he'll be doing ball work before long which means he'll be playing games again in the second half of the season. - Ashley Browne

Jesse Hogan has been named for Sunday's game against Hawthorn after the Demons granted him compassionate leave last round. Tim Smith won't play for the next month after sustaining a hefty knock against Richmond in round five. Max Gawn ran for the first time on Saturday after his hamstring surgery and will start building towards a return in the second half of the season.  - Ben Guthrie

Jarrad Waite returns for Saturday's tough clash with Adelaide after being out since round one. Defensive midfielder Jacobs is another first-choice player getting close. Mullett played through a broken hand suffered in the second quarter against the Gold Coast, but will be out this weekend. - Marc McGowan

It's a clean bill of health for the Power with skipper Travis Boak back after missing weeks with a hamstring injury. - Lee Gaskin

Dion Prestia will miss the game against the Bulldogs with hamstring concerns. Reece Conca faces a period of time without weight on his injured right foot after playing through the problem for three quarters in round six. Midfielder Jacob Townsend suffered an eye injury in the VFL in the Tigers' only other fresh concern. Midfielder Jack Graham doesn't appear to be edging forward and is again listed at 5-6 weeks, with Shane Edwards also making slow progress, running laps with the rehab group on Thursday before joining the main group for the warm-up. – Nathan Schmook

Rohan will miss the match against the Lions after his nasty concussion last round, and Laidler is also sidelined with an Achilles. McVeigh looks set to play after getting through a full week of training without any setbacks. Tippett and Marsh were in the same boat but only Marsh has made it back. Jack will be at least one more week away, while Edwards hurt his AC joint in the NEAFL last week. - Adam Curley

It was mostly positive news for the Eagles this week, with Nathan Vardy escaping serious injury and named to face Port, while pressure forward Jamie Cripps is tracking well from his ankle complaint. Cripps is out of the moon boot and was walking with a slight limp at training on Monday but has had a week shaved off his recovery timeframe. Sam Mitchell and Andrew Gaff were on light duties with sore ankles but aren't listed on the official injury list, either is Kurt Mutimer who hurt his knee on debut and didn't train Monday. Liam Duggan is also right to face Port after suffering a corked thigh. - Travis King

The club has named Tom Liberatore and Matthew Boyd to face Richmond at Etihad Stadium on Saturday night, while ruckman Tom Campbell also seems fit but was named as an emergency. - Ryan Davidson
