Scans on Monday confirmed the bad news that Cripps’ season is over. The star midfielder suffered a fractured fibula after attempting to smother a kick from Melbourne defender Jayden Hunt during the second quarter last Sunday.

Mundy returns after missing last week through illness. Bennell only needs to get through training without any hiccups before finally making his return via Peel after 16 months battling ongoing calf complaints. Hamling (hip) isn't listed and looks likely to be fit for a potential job on Josh Kennedy in the Western Derby, while Grey (shoulder) is also absent from the official injury list. – Travis King

Ablett, Hanley and Hall have all had hamstring problems of late but are back in the side to play the Magpies. Kolodjashnij's concussion continues to linger and the club will continue to take a cautious approach. - Michael Whiting

Greene, Johnson and Williams have all been picked for Saturday night's massive clash against the Swans.

O’Meara is making good progress and the Hawks are still keen to have him play a few games before the end of the season. - Ashley Browne

Preuss is also likely to be available next week as he bids to earn an AFL recall, while Jacobs underwent minor surgery on Monday.

That is particularly good news for Wright, who has had several setbacks in 2017. - Marc McGowan

Broadbent will miss another week with an ankle injury, while Amon will return in the SANFL after not playing since he fractured his patella in the round 10 loss to Geelong on May 25. - Lee Gaskin

The club says it is close to having a timeline for Conca's return. - Nathan Schmook

Longer failed to recover from his hamstring injury in time to face the Bombers on Friday night. Weller was dropped for the Tigers clash and rested from the VFL to give his troublesome right ankle some respite. He's trained and should come back through Sandringham on Saturday. Freeman missed last week with back stiffness, and his absence from the Zebras' outfit is expected to last just one game. - Dinny Navaratnam
