SYDNEY ruck Ally Morphett will miss the rest of the season after scans confirmed an ACL injury. 

It's a bitter blow for the star Swan, who had put together a stellar campaign so far and would have been in the mix for an All-Australian blazer. 

North Melbourne veteran Emma Kearney is also set for a stint on the sidelines after suffering a hamstring injury.

Kearney is set to miss the next 4-6 weeks, meaning she will be in a race against time to be fit for the Roos' finals campaign.

Elsewhere, GWS youngster Sara Howley will miss 4-6 weeks with a hand injury, while Richmond is hopeful that veteran Katie Brennan will feature again this year despite still being impacted by a hip problem.

Carlton duo Darcy Vescio and Gab Pound are both tests for the club's clash against Sydney this week, while Collingwood's Sarah Rowe and Port Adelaide's Sachi Syme will also have to prove their fitness. 

Melbourne's Jacinta Hose is likely to be available this week and Shelley Heath-Barker is another name who could return for the Demons' clash against the Suns.
