Christensen will be available to play Richmond on Saturday after coach Chris Fagan declared him fit on Tuesday. "He was as good as gold last week," Fagan said. "Other than any mishap he'll be available for selection". - Michael Whiting 

Pies coach Nathan Buckley has declared Moore will play in the qualifying final against Geelong on Friday night, while Thomas and Scharenberg also appear set to be passed fit after suffering mishaps in the final round win over Essendon. Stephenson will return after serving his 10-game gambling suspension and Sidebottom, De Goey and Aish are also expected to be available. Sier copped a knock in the Pies' final VFL game for the season while the unlucky Murphy sustained another injury – nerve damage to his neck. It's also unlikely we'll see Quaynor again this season, while Reid also faces an uphill battle. The campaign is already over for Cox, Langdon, Beams and Dunn. - Ben Collins

All eyes are on Hurley, who looks more likely than not to face the Eagles in Thursday's elimination final despite his shoulder injury from round 23 against Collingwood. Hooker, Heppell, Fantasia and Stringer will all make the trip and play against West Coast in the do-or-die final, but Zaharakis is unavailable. Gleeson will miss this week with a minor calf injury but could be available next week if the Bombers progress. - Callum Twomey

Haynes looks set to return for the elimination final if he gets through the main session on Wednesday, while Toby Greene (calf), Jacob Hopper (hamstring) and Brett Deledio (calf) have already been cleared to play the Bulldogs. Coniglio needs the Giants to win to play again this year and could be ready for the second or third week of the finals. - Adam Curley

Toby Nankervis (groin soreness) is expected to get through training this week and be in line for a senior recall after pulling up well from the VFL elimination final. Noah Balta missed the weekend's VFL match with a cork but is now available for selection. Stack is running on the weight-bearing Alter G treadmill, but a timeframe is yet to be set for his return. - Sarah Black

The Eagles are sweating on skipper Hurn's availability but they expect he will take his place against the Bombers on Thursday night, 12 days after playing through hamstring awareness in the loss to the Hawks. Hurn appeared unconcerned during Monday night's warm-up which was open to media and got through training. Naitanui looks primed for his first final in four years after overcoming his two-month syndesmosis issue, while tagger Mark Hutchings is available following his hamstring recurrence in round 22. – Travis King

Dickson's sore hamstring has been given an extra week to recover thanks to the bye, and should he be fit he'll almost certainly come straight back in. Daniel (hamstring) and Liberatore (knee) are inching closer but both are unlikely to be ready for the Giants. - Josh Schonafinger
