Sloane was slammed into the turf in the third quarter of last weekend's win over Melbourne in Darwin and didn't take any further part in the game. Lever also finished the game on the bench with hamstring tightness. - Lee Gaskin 

After a bye for the NEAFL team at the weekend, Beams and Harwood are both expected to return through the lower level. Gardiner is recovering well from his dislocated elbow suffered two weeks ago and should be back on the field the following week. - Michael Whiting

As the Blues' injury toll continues to mount, they hope to regain veteran Dale Thomas and youngsters David Cuningham and Tom Williamson for Sunday's game against the Brisbane Lions at the Gabba. With defenders Dylan Buckley out with a hamstring strain and Ciaran Byrne and Alex Silvagni battling to be available after being injured against the Bulldogs last Sunday, Harrison Macreadie and Ciaran Sheehan will come into calculations. Macreadie impressed with 25 disposals and five marks in the Northern Blues' loss to Essendon last Saturday and Sheehan picked up 20 disposals.  - Howard Kotton

Pendlebury had surgery on his broken finger last night and his return date is listed as TBC. Aish is likely to be sidelined after a bout of concussion, while Sinclair is at least a month away with a long-term hamstring injury. - Ben Collins

The Bombers will regain former captain Watson for their meeting with the Kangaroos at Saturday after he sat out last week's win over St Kilda with soreness. The veteran is being carefully managed this season. Essendon will lose small forward Green to a minor hamstring injury, but Ambrose is likely to play in the VFL after recovering from successive quad injuries. Brown remains some way off a return. - Callum Twomey

Harley Bennell pulled up well from his first game in 16 months after repeated calf issues and trained on Tuesday, with an expectation he will appear for Peel again this weekend. The Dockers have officially ruled out young key defender Alex Pearce for the season after he suffered a setback with his broken leg suffered in January. Ed Langdon is having issues with his sore knee and is back on the injury list for another two weeks. - Travis King

May will miss Saturday's match against the Bulldogs, while the Suns will be sweating on Leslie passing a fitness test. Lyons' ankle injury will keep him out for up to a month. - Michael Whiting

Cameron, Coniglio, Reid and de Boer could all be a chance to play Richmond if they can get through training this week. Coach Leon Cameron will need to decide if Coniglio needs a game in the NEAFL after not playing since round eight, and managing just two games for the year. Himmelberg should also be available, with the Giants' main session on Thursday the key factor in selection. In other good news, Kennedy ran for the first time this week after having a knee reconstruction in May. - Adam Curley

Not much change at the Hawks. If there are changes to the side to play Fremantle at Domain Stadium on Saturday they will be due to form. Stratton has already been ruled out for the season but will now undergo surgery to repair his knee. Inside midfielder Lovell will return to the VFL next week after a shoulder reconstruction, while O’Rourke is also expected to see some playing action before the end of the season. - Ashley Browne

Tyson and Watts will play against the Power and Viney is a legitimate chance to play. The co-skipper will need to prove he can run without pain in Thursday's main session and if he can do that he should get the tick of approval. The Demons are planning for Brayshaw to play in the VFL this weekend, his first match in more than six weeks following his latest concussion. - Ben Guthrie

Waite looks set to provide a timely boost for the Kangaroos, but a host of teammates ae either done for the season or close to it. Hibberd and Jacobs are officially finished for 2017, while Macmillan and Wright – back on the injury list again – are likely to follow suit. Wagner won't be ready until late in the season at best, either. Preuss could come into AFL contention if he passes a fitness test, while Williams and Wood are at least another week away. - Marc McGowan

Ryder rolled his ankle in the third quarter of the Power's 70-point thumping of North Melbourne. He went back on the ground, but was rested in the last quarter as a precaution. Broadbent has missed three of the past four games after injuring his ankle at training a month ago. - Lee Gaskin

Graham is the only fresh injury for the Tigers after he sprained his ankle in the VFL at the weekend. The draftee will face a fitness test later this week to determine if he can play in the VFL. The Tigers have otherwise been buoyed as Ben Griffiths and Ben Lennon came off the injury list. The club is yet to determine a timeline for Reece Conca's return. - Nathan Schmook

Geary suffered a knock to the quad against Essendon but the tough skipper is expected to be fit for Saturday night's clash against Sydney at the SCG. Longer would likely come straight back in if he proves his fitness after suffering a corkie against Richmond in round 16. Rice copped a heavy corkie of his own in the VFL and missed the second half, so is in some doubt to come up this weekend. – Dinny Navaratnam

Reid and Rohan both failed to train with the main group on Tuesday, with Rohan heading to the pool, and both will need to hit the track on Thursday if they're to be picked. Reid struggled to have an impact against the Giants, but the good news for Rohan is that he played out the game despite looking in trouble just before three-quarter time. Tippett came from the field after playing just over a half in the NEAFL last week, and was on light duties on Tuesday. - Adam Curley

The Eagles are still waiting on a surgeon's opinion before deciding whether ruckman Scott Lycett will play again this season after soreness with a shoulder tendon. Elliot Yeo needs to get through full training on Thursday to face Collingwood on Sunday. Powerful forward Simon Tunbridge could make his return from a revolutionary hybrid LARS knee reconstruction for East Perth this weekend, while goalsneak Willie Rioli should also return for the Royals. - Travis King

While Jake Stringer will miss up to three weeks with a hamstring, defender Matthew Boyd will need to get through training this week to face the Suns in Cairns on Saturday. Rookie Brad Lynch’s season looks over after sustaining another hamstring injury. – Ryan Davidson
