ADELAIDE

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

 Tom Doedee Knee Season
 Josh Jenkins Knee 4-6 weeks
 Jake Kelly Calf 1 week
 Tom Lynch Calf 1 week
 Lachlan Murphy Teeth 1 week
 Daniel Talia Quad 1 week
 Updated: Tuesday, June 18

Early prognosis

Jenkins is expected to miss up to six weeks after hyperextending his knee in the Crows' round 13 win against Richmond at Adelaide Oval. Jenkins sustained a lateral ligament and capsular injury with bone bruising. Talia, Kelly and Murphy aren't expected to miss any football and will be available for the Crows' next game – their round 15 clash with Geelong. Lynch is also on track to return to face the Cats after missing the past two games with a calf strain. - Lee Gaskin

BRISBANE

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

 Marcus Adams Knee Test
 Zac Bailey Hamstring  Test
 Jarrod Berry Knee 2 weeks
 Tom Cutler Foot 3 weeks
 Ely Smith Foot 2 weeks
 Updated: Tuesday, June 18

Early prognosis

Adams and Bailey just have to get through Thursday's main session to return in the NEAFL on Saturday. For Adams, it will be his first game in Brisbane colours since switching from the Western Bulldogs. Berry also trained strongly on Tuesday and is close to a return. - Michael Whiting 

CARLTON

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

 Ed Curnow Ankle Test
 Josh Deluca Hamstring  Test
 Sam Docherty Knee  Indefinite
 Liam Jones Concussion TBC
 Liam Stocker Foot 2-3 weeks
 Tom Williamson Back 2-3 weeks
 Updated: Tuesday, June 18

Early prognosis

Reliable midfielder Curnow rolled his ankle during the weekend's loss to the Dogs, but the club is confident he shouldn't miss any footy thanks to the bye this weekend. The Blues won't consider Jones until he is fully over his concussion symptoms, but hope that he should be available at some point after the bye. - Riley Beveridge

COLLINGWOOD

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

 Taylor Adams Groin 1 week
 Flynn Appleby Ankle  Available
 Dayne Beams Hip 10-14 weeks
 Lynden Dunn Knee Season
 Jamie Elliott Hamstring 1 week
 Brodie Grundy Neck TBC
 Will Kelly Leg 4-7 weeks
 Tom Langdon Knee TBC
 Nathan Murphy Ankle Indefinite
 Sam Murray Provisional ASADA suspension TBC
 John Noble Conditioning Available
 Daniel Wells  Knee 10 weeks
 Rupert Wills Calf TBC
 Updated: Tuesday, June 18

Early prognosis

Grundy almost missed the Queen's Birthday clash with Melbourne but should be fine to face the Western Bulldogs after the Pies' round 13 bye, but Adams and Elliott aren't yet ready to return. Wills has been sidelined with a calf problem, but Appleby is ready to resume in the VFL and he will be joined by mid-season draftee Noble, who will make his first appearance for the club. A timeframe on Langdon is expected to become clearer in coming weeks. Murphy's recovery has been slow and Kelly will also spend a considerable time on the sidelines. Beams and Wells face a race against time to return before season's end, but the campaign seems over for fellow veteran Dunn after a second anterior cruciate ligament rupture in nine months.Ben Collins

ESSENDON

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

 Joe Daniher Groin Season
 Sam Draper Knee Season
 Kobe Mutch Hamstring Test
 Devon Smith Knee Season
 James Stewart Groin Test
 Jake Stringer Leg Test
 Updated: Monday, June 17

Early prognosis

Essendon has a relatively fit squad, despite the long-term absence of Daniher and Smith for the rest of this season. Stringer escaped serious injury but has a sore leg and is in doubt to face the Eagles this week. - Callum Twomey

FREMANTLE

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

 Stefan Giro Knee Season
 Shane Kersten Foot TBC
 Rory Lobb Foot 4 weeks
 Alex Pearce Ankle Season
 Aaron Sandilands Calf TBC
 Sam Sturt Concussion Test
 Matt Taberner Foot Season
 Luke Valente Groin Test
 Updated: Tuesday, June 18

Early prognosis

Lobb's better than expected prognosis is a major boost and the Dockers could have three genuine ruckmen vying for spots later in the year with Sandilands aiming to be back close to round 18. Sturt is set for his first game at Peel in two months after recovering from his second concussion in his rookie year, and should be joined by Valente. Travis King

GEELONG

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

 Nakia Cockatoo Knee 4-6 weeks
 Jordan Cunico Ankle 4-6 weeks
 Lachie Henderson Plantar fascia Test
 Sam Menegola Knee Test
 Quinton Narkle Hamstring 1-2 weeks
 Esava Ratugolea Hamstring Test
 Updated: Tuesday, June 18

Early prognosis

Menegola appears at least another week off as he pushes for full fitness from his knee surgery, with some consideration given to playing a half in the VFL. Ratugolea has completed two running sessions since returning from the bye and is touch and go to face Port Adelaide. Henderson has returned to training and is putting his hand up for selection. Narkle will be managed closely after injuring his hamstring twice in as many games a month ago. - Mitch Cleary

GOLD COAST

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

 Ben Ainsworth Foot 3-5 weeks
 Jack Bowes Quad 6 weeks
 Sam Collins Hip 3 weeks
 Sam Fletcher Quad TBC
 Pearce Hanley Quad 1-2 weeks
 Sean Lemmens Ankle 3 weeks
 Touk Miller Quad Test
 Jordan Murdoch Foot 1-3 weeks
 Izak Rankine Hamstring 1 week
 Brad Scheer Hand Test
 Josh Schoenfeld Knee TBC
 Rory Thompson Knee Season
 Harrison Wigg Knee Season
 Aaron Young Knee 1 weeks
 Updated: Tuesday, June 18

Early prognosis

Finally some good news just around the corner with Rankine expected to play his first match for the club since the JLT Community Series following the bye. Hanley and Murdoch would also be an outside chance of returning, while Young should also come into consideration. - Michael Whiting

GREATER WESTERN SYDNEY

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

 Jye Caldwell Calf 1 week
 Aidan Corr Calf 1 week
 Matt de Boer Shoulder 8 weeks
 Nick Haynes Ankle 1-2 weeks
 Lachlan Keeffe Broken hand 3 weeks
 Xavier O'Halloran Knee TBC
 Jonathon Patton Knee TBC
 Tommy Sheridan Calf Test
 Zac Sproule Knee 4-6 weeks
 Callan Ward Knee Season
 Lachie Whitfield Collarbone 1-2 weeks
 Updated: Tuesday, June 18

Early prognosis

The loss of de Boer is a massive blow for the Giants after the stopper's career renaissance this year, but he could be back for at least a couple of games before the finals. In better news, they should get Whitfield, Haynes and Corr back not long after this week's bye. - Ben Collins

HAWTHORN

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

 Grant Birchall  Calf Test
 Jacob Koschitzke Hip 1 week
 Darren Minchington Hamstring Test
 Tom Mitchell Broken leg Indefinite
 Tim Mohr Dislocated knee/ACL Season
 Jack Scrimshaw Knee 1-2 weeks
 Chad Wingard Hamstring 1 week
 Updated: Tuesday, June 18

Early prognosis

Birchall is finally on the verge of playing again after multiple muscle-related setbacks this year, and it might even be as soon as this Saturday. The star defender's last AFL match was round 15, 2017, and he has endured a horror run of knee then muscle issues since. Scrimshaw hasn't progressed as quickly as hoped and may still be a fortnight or more away. Koschitzke last played on May 12, but has popped up on the injury list for the first time, while Minchington will again need to pass a test to play in the VFL. - Marc McGowan

MELBOURNE

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

 Sam Frost Concussion TBC
 Neville Jetta Knee 6 weeks
 Corey Maynard Concussion Test
 Jake Melksham  Foot  4 weeks
 Aaron Nietschke Knee Season
 Joel Smith Groin 4 weeks
 Tim Smith Flu TBC
 Tom Sparrow Knee 7-9 weeks
 Aaron vandenBerg Ankle 4 weeks
 Guy Walker Shoulder Indefinite
 Updated: Tuesday, June 18

Early prognosis

No football at either level means, for once, no new injuries for Melbourne. The Dees are yet to confirm an updated injury list, but Tim Smith should be right to go after missing the Queen's Birthday clash with the flu. Frost also suffered concussion in the loss to the Pies, but the bye will have helped his chances enormously. - Sarah Black

NORTH MELBOURNE

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

 Majak Daw Pelvis/hips Indefinite
 Aaron Hall Knee TBC
 Shaun Higgins AC joint 4-5 weeks
 Ben Jacobs Head/neck Indefinite
 Jamie Macmillan Calf Test
 Tom McKenzie  Back TBC
 Bailey Scott Foot Indefinite
 Dom Tyson Calf 1 week
 Ed Vickers-Willis Knee Season
 Will Walker Knee Indefinite
 Tom Wilkinson Ankle 2-3 weeks
 Sam Wright Ankle 1 week
 Updated: Tuesday, June 18

Early prognosis

Scott underwent surgery on Tuesday night to repair a fractured bone in his left foot. The round one NAB AFL Rising Star nominee suffered the injury in the second term of the VFL at the weekend and there is no timetable for his return. The Roos will hopefully regain Macmillan, Tyson and Wright from multiple-match absences after the bye. The prognosis for Hall's knee injury two weekends ago is unclear. There is still no significant update on any of Daw, Jacobs or Walker. - Marc McGowan

PORT ADELAIDE

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

 Jake Patmore Knee Season
 Tom Rockliff Hamstring 1 week
 Jack Watts Leg Indefinite
 Updated: Tuesday, June 18

Early prognosis

The Power are almost back to full strength. Rockliff will miss Saturday night's clash with Geelong – the third straight game he's missed with a hamstring injury. The Power are hopeful he will be available for the following week's game with the Western Bulldogs. Watts is working on his rehab in the gym and is nearing a return to the track as he aims for a late-season comeback. - Lee Gaskin

RICHMOND

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

 David Astbury Hamstring Test
 Trent Cotchin Hamstring Test
 Shane Edwards Hamstring Test
 Luke English Shoulder 2-4 weeks
 Kane Lambert Achilles 1-2 weeks

 Callum Moore Ankle 4-6 weeks
 Toby Nankervis Adductor 2-4 weeks
 Marlion Pickett Finger 6-8 weeks
 Alex Rance Knee Season
 Jack Riewoldt PCL 2-4 weeks
 Jack Ross Ankle 2-4 weeks
 Jayden Short Elbow 2-3 weeks
 Ivan Soldo Illness Test
 Updated: Tuesday, June 18

Early prognosis

The light at the end of the tunnel is hopefully in sight for the injury-ravaged Tigers, who go into the bye with 13 players sidelined. Astbury, Cotchin, Soldo and Edwards are expected to return after the bye, with Lambert and Short also close. - Sarah Black

ST KILDA

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

 Logan Austin Shoulder Indefinite
 Jack Bytel Back Season
 Jarryn Geary Leg 8-10 weeks
 Max King Ankle TBC
 Billy Longer Concussion TBC
 Jack Lonie Knee 2-3 weeks
 Paddy McCartin Concussion Season
 Ed Phillips Hamstring 1-2 weeks
 Lewis Pierce Concussion TBC
 Dylan Roberton Heart Season
 Jack Steele Knee 2-3 weeks
 Jack Steven Mental health 3-5 weeks
 Jimmy Webster Hand 1-2 weeks
 Brandon White Thigh Test
 Updated: Tuesday, June 18

Early prognosis

King will miss at least six weeks with a right ankle syndesmosis issue, but he could be out for the season, depending on how that settles. Steele will run this week and begin training next week as he aims for a quick comeback from a dislocated kneecap. Webster will be sidelined for at least another match after right hand surgery. Concussion battles have decimated the Saints' ruck depth with Pierce and Longer both sidelined. - Dinny Navaratnam

SYDNEY

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

 Harry Cunningham Adductor TBC
 Will Hayward Hip Test
 Kieren Jack Hip Test
 Zak Jones Hamstring Test
 Josh Kennedy Knee Test
 Jack Maibaum Knee Season
 Jarrad McVeigh Thigh 2-3 weeks
 Sam Naismith Knee TBC
 Nick Smith Hamstring  Season
 Durak Tucker Knee Indefinite
 Updated: Tuesday, June 18

 Early prognosis

Cunningham had a setback with his groin at training on Saturday just when he was ready to resume after a long absence, but Kennedy, Jones, Hayward and Jack should be available to face Hawthorn on Friday night. McVeigh should miss at least a couple of games, while Smith will have a third bout of surgery this week and won't play again this season. - Sarah Black

WEST COAST

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

 Oscar Allen Ankle Test
 Tom Barrass Foot Test
 Patrick Bines Hernia TBC
 Harry Edwards Foot TBC
 Shannon Hurn Hamstring Test
 Fraser McInnes Hamstring Test
 Willie Rioli Suspension 1 week
 Nathan Vardy Suspension 1 week
 Daniel Venables Concussion TBC
 Elliot Yeo Calf Test
 Updated: Tuesday, June 18

Early prognosis

Premiership skipper Hurn looks a certain starter against Essendon on Thursday night, while Allen and Yeo should also return after missing the loss to Sydney before the bye. Barrass will make his comeback from foot surgery in the WAFL alongside Nic Naitanui at East Fremantle on Saturday. Venables remains without a return date from concussion more than a month after a heavy hit in the win over Melbourne. Travis King

WESTERN BULLDOGS

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

 Billy Gowers Ankle 3-5 weeks
 Tom Liberatore Knee 4-6 weeks
 Dale Morris Knee Test
 Fergus Greene Shoulder 2-4 weeks
 Mitch Wallis Ankle 3-4 weeks
 Lukas Webb Ankle 4-6 weeks
 Updated: Tuesday, June 18

Early prognosis

A collective sigh of relief from Whitten Oval after confirmation Liberatore avoided damage to his ACL against Carlton. He has undergone surgery to repair cartilage in his knee. Veteran Morris is on the verge of a remarkable return from an ACL injury of his own suffered in the pre-season. - Paul Bastin

*Placed on the club's long-term injury list
