Richmond star Monique Conti is in line to make her long-awaited return from an Achilles injury this week against Melbourne, but Collingwood’s Ruby Schleicher has been ruled out for the rest of the year with a fractured shoulder.

Conti, who has been sidelined since round three with the issue, will be tested later this week but is tracking well to be available for selection.

Elsewhere, Melbourne key forward Mia Austin has had surgery on a fracture in her throat but is in good spirits and the Dees hope she will be back at the club by the end of this week, although a return-to-play timeline is still to be confirmed. 

Dees defender Sinead Goldrick could return from a knee issue, while Port Adelaide midfielder Sachi Syme will be available for her side's clash against Brisbane after overcoming a hamstring injury. 

Geelong defender Claudia Gunjaca, Western Bulldogs pair Emma McDonald and Britney Gutknecht, exciting Lion Marlo Graham, Tigers midfielder Ally Dallaway and Hawthorn youngster Mikaylah Antony will all undergo fitness tests later this week to prove their fitness for round 10.
