| Paul Seedsman | Groin | Ongoing assessment |
| Updated: Tuesday, May 9 | ||
Early prognosis |
|---|
Forward Lynch will have to pass a concussion test on Friday to be cleared to face Melbourne on Saturday night. The Crows are hoping Lynch does some training on Wednesday, but he won't do any contact work. - Lee Gaskin |

Player | Injury | Estimated Return |
|---|---|---|
| Dayne Beams | Quad | 1 week |
| Allen Christensen | Shoulder | Season |
| Dan McStay | Hand | 2-3 weeks |
| Mitch Robinson | Foot | 10 weeks |
| Sam Skinner* | Knee | 2 weeks |
| Alex Witherden | Hamstring | Test |
| Updated: Tuesday, May 9 | ||
Early prognosis |
|---|
Robinson's loss is tough to swallow just a week after captain Beams was sidelined. Beams is running strongly again and will be reassessed next week with the hope he will play in round nine. - Michael Whiting |

Player | Injury | Estimated Return |
|---|---|---|
| Ciaran Byrne | Knee | 10 weeks |
| Zac Fisher | Hamstring | Test |
| Kym Lebois | Quad | Test |
| Jack Silvagni | Shoulder | Test |
| Updated: Tuesday, May 9 | ||
Early prognosis |
|---|
The Blues emerged unscathed after their memorable triumph over arch rival Collingwood last Saturday. Teenagers Silvagni and Fisher face tests to prove their fitness for this Saturday’s big game against St Kilda at Etihad Stadium. - Howard Kotton |

Player | Injury | Estimated Return |
|---|---|---|
| Adam Oxley | Groin/hip | 1-2 weeks |
| Brayden Sier | Eye socket | 1-2 weeks |
| Ben Sinclair* | Hamstring | 8-10 weeks |
| Josh Thomas | Foot | Test |
| Adam Treloar | TBC | Test |
| Travis Varcoe | Hamstring | 1-2 weeks |
| Rupert Wills | Calf | 1 week |
| Updated: Tuesday, May 9 | ||
Early prognosis |
|---|
Treloar is expected to take on his old club, Greater Western Sydney, but remains in some doubt with an undisclosed injury. Varcoe will remain sidelined with his hamstring issue. Wills' hopes of earning promotion from the VFL have been delayed by a calf problem. Sinclair is still eyeing a return in the second half of the year. - Ben Collins |

Player | Injury | Estimated Return |
|---|---|---|
| Patrick Ambrose | Quad | 4 weeks |
| Mitch Brown | Ankle | 5-7 weeks |
| Jayden Laverde* | Ankle | 8 weeks |
| Alex Morgan | Hamstring | Test |
| Jordan Ridley* | Back | 3 weeks |
| Updated: Tuesday, May 9 | ||
Early prognosis |
|---|
Essendon is targeting round 11 as the return date for Patrick Ambrose, who injured his quad at training on the eve of the Dons' clash with Melbourne. But they will be without Mitch Brown for a little longer as he deals with an ankle problem from that Melbourne game. They should have Jobe Watson, Andy McGrath and Ben McNeice available after being rested last week, but Jayden Laverde's battle to play this season looks likely to continue. The Bombers have pushed back a return date from a pre-season ankle injury to about round 15, but it was a serious and rare injury that they'll be conservative with. - Callum Twomey |

Player | Injury | Estimated Return |
|---|---|---|
| Michael Apeness | Knee | Season |
| Hayden Ballantyne | Hamstring | 1-3 weeks |
| Harley Bennell | Calf | 7 weeks |
| Zac Clarke* | Knee | TBA |
| Josh Deluca | Groin | Test |
| Stephen Hill | Hamstring | 1-2 weeks |
| Alex Pearce | Leg | TBA |
| Matthew Uebergang | Hamstring | TBA |
| Updated: Tuesday, May 9 | ||
Early prognosis |
|---|
Star midfielder Stephen Hill is getting strength back in his running after straining a hamstring in round five and is on track to resume full training with the next fortnight. Harley Bennell's timeframe to return from his calf injury remains stuck on seven weeks, but Hayden Ballantyne is back running near top speed and should return to training later this week. Luckless big man Michael Apeness's season is over after he injured the PCL in his right knee playing for Peel's reserves at the weekend. Josh Deluca failed to get up for Peel's win over Claremont but is expected to be right for Saturday's clash with Swan Districts. - Travis King |

Player | Injury | Estimated Return |
|---|---|---|
| Josh Cowan | Achilles soreness | Test |
| Cory Gregson* | Foot | 4 weeks |
| Lachie Henderson | Ribs | Test |
| Timm House | Hip | Test |
| Lincoln McCarthy | Groin | TBC |
| Quinton Narkle | Hamstring | TBC |
| Brandan Parfitt* | Hamstring | 8-10 weeks |
| Updated: Tuesday, May 9 | ||
Early prognosis |
|---|
Henderson was a late withdrawal from the Gold Coast game and will be tested this week. McCarthy remains on the sidelines with a frustrating injury while Scott Selwood and Jake Kolodjashnij will be back in the selection frame after several weeks in the VFL. - Peter Ryan |

Player | Injury | Estimated Return |
|---|---|---|
| Callum Ah Chee | Back | TBC |
| Ben Ainsworth | Quad | 2 weeks |
| Sam Day | Hip | Season |
| Pearce Hanley | Heel | 1 week |
| Trent McKenzie | Hamstring | Test |
| Matt Rosa | Head knock | 1 week |
| Michael Rischitelli | Knee | Indefinite |
| David Swallow | Knee | 1 week |
| Rory Thompson | Quad | Test |
| Updated: Tuesday, May 9 | ||
Early prognosis |
|---|
Thompson has missed four weeks but is back running and is some chance of making the flight to China, although the Suns may be reluctant to take the risk. Hanley is almost ready to go, but the club is likely to hold him back until after the bye so he can get more conditioning in. - Michael Whiting |

Player | Injury | Estimated Return |
|---|---|---|
| Matt Buntine | Knee | Season |
| Brett Deledio | Calf | TBC |
| Tom Downie* | Illness | Indefinite |
| Toby Greene | Suspended | Round nine |
| Ryan Griffen | Ankle | 6-8 weeks |
| Nick Haynes | Hamstring | 9 weeks |
| Jacob Hopper | Finger | 6 weeks |
| Adam Kennedy | Knee | Season |
| Tendai Mzungu | Hamstring | 5-7 weeks |
| Will Setterfield | Ankle | 6-8 weeks |
| Lachie Whitfield | Suspended | Round eight |
| Updated: Tuesday, May 9 | ||
Early prognosis |
|---|
Kennedy will have his ACL repaired next week, while Hopper has already had surgery on his broken finger and joins a growing list of Giants with long-term setbacks. Sam Reid has recovered from his hamstring tightness and should be recalled to face Collingwood. - Adam Curley |

Player | Injury | Estimated Return |
|---|---|---|
| Grant Birchall | Knee | 3-4 weeks |
| Jonathon Ceglar* | ACL | Indefinite |
| Kieran Lovell | Shoulder | Indefinite |
| Teia Miles | Medial ligament | 3-5 weeks |
| Jaeger O'Meara | Knee | Indefinite |
| Jonathan O'Rourke | Hamstring | 8-10 weeks |
| Updated: Tuesday, May 9 | ||
Early prognosis |
|---|
Birchall has been awfully stiff, hurting his knee in his first quarter back after a four-week absence with a broken jaw. The Hawks still have five weeks till their bye, so he should be back before then. This is the third hamstring injury this year for O’Rourke and comes just as he was in the frame for a senior game. Hawthorn’s injury list is by no means serious, but is starting to grow. - Ashley Browne |

Player | Injury | Estimated Return |
|---|---|---|
| Colin Garland* | Knee | Season |
| Max Gawn | Hamstring | 6-8 weeks |
| James Harmes | Eye | Test |
| Corey Maynard | Concussion | TBC |
| Pat McKenna | Hamstring | 4 weeks |
| Jake Melksham | Suspended | 1 week |
| Joel Smith | Shoulder | 5-6 weeks |
| Tim Smith | Rib/punctured lung | 3-4 weeks |
| Jake Spencer | Shoulder | 4-5 weeks |
| Aaron vandenBerg* | Heel | 6 weeks |
| Updated: Tuesday, May 9 | ||
Early prognosis |
|---|
Harmes suffered an eye injury in the VFL at the weekend and spent time in hospital on Sunday. Rookie Maynard suffered a heavy concussion, as a result of a crude bump from North Melbourne-listed forward Lindsay Thomas. Maynard also visited the hospital after he was stretchered from the field from the head-high hit. Jayden Hunt (shoulder) and Josh Wagner have been cleared to face Adelaide. - Ben Guthrie |

| Paul Ahern* | Knee | Season |
| Majak Daw | Quadriceps | Test |
| Taylor Garner | Hamstring | Test |
| Ben Jacobs | Foot | Test |
| Oscar Junker | Broken tibia | 4-6 weeks |
| Ben McKay | Groin/hip | 1-2 weeks |
| Aaron Mullett | Broken hand | Test |
| Lindsay Thomas | Suspended | TBC |
| Corey Wagner | Ankle | 6-8 weeks |
| Jarrad Waite | Suspended | Available round nine |
| Sam Wright | Ankle | 3-5 weeks |
| Updated: Tuesday, May 9 | ||
Early prognosis |
|---|
Ben Brown hurt his shoulder against Adelaide, but returned to the field – with heavy strapping – to kick two goals and should face Sydney on Sunday. Jy Simpkin was managed last week and will be available. Garner and Mullett face fitness tests, but are good chances to return. Jacobs and Daw will return through the VFL if they play this weekend, while Andrew Swallow has recovered from a bout of gastro that sidelined him. Waite and Thomas were suspended for engaging in rough conduct charges at AFL and VFL level respectively. - Marc McGowan |

Player | Injury | Estimated Return |
|---|---|---|
| No injuries | ||
| Updated: Tuesday, May 9 | ||
Early prognosis |
|---|
Every player on the Power's list is available for selection with Nathan Krakouer (foot), Matthew White (hamstring) and rookie-listed ruckman Peter Ladhams (general soreness) overcoming minor injuries. - Lee Gaskin |

Player | Injury | Estimated Return |
|---|---|---|
| Nathan Broad* | Shoulder | 3 weeks |
| Reece Conca | Foot | 4-5 weeks |
| Nathan Drummond | Knee | Season |
| Shane Edwards | Hip | Test |
| Jack Graham* | Ankle | 4-5 weeks |
| Ben Griffiths | Concussion | Indefinite |
| Shaun Hampson* | Back | Indefinite |
| Dion Prestia | Hamstring | Test |
| Nick Vlastuin | Shoulder | 3-4 weeks |
| Updated: Tuesday, May 9 | ||
Early prognosis |
|---|
Scans have revealed a small fracture in Vlastuin's shoulder after a fresh injury on Saturday night, with rest required. Prestia's hamstring soreness could sideline him for one more match, depending on his response at training this week. The Tigers say he is a "50-50" proposition. Edwards will ramp up his training this week and is a chance to return, while Conca has had his minimum time on the sidelines increased to four weeks. - Nathan Schmook |

Player | Injury | Estimated Return |
|---|---|---|
| David Armitage | Groin | TBC |
| Josh Battle | Knee | TBC |
| Tom Hickey | Knee | 4-6 weeks |
| Koby Stevens | Suspension | Round nine |
| Maverick Weller | Ankle | Test |
| Updated: Tuesday, May 9 | ||
Early prognosis |
|---|
Weller rolled an ankle last week and while he was on the track on Tuesday, he didn't join in full training. Ruckman Hickey has a medial injury in his left knee after being injured in the VFL last Saturday. - Dinny Navaratnam |

Player | Injury | Estimated Return |
|---|---|---|
| Shaun Edwards | Shoulder | 2 weeks |
| Kieren Jack | Hip | 1 week |
| Alex Johnson* | Knee | Indefinite |
| Jeremy Laidler | Achilles | TBC |
| Dane Rampe | Arm | 2 weeks |
| Dan Robinson | Collarbone | Test |
| Updated: Tuesday, May 9 | ||
Early prognosis |
|---|
Kurt Tippett was extremely close to playing last week but didn't quite do enough before selection to warrant a recall, but has been cleared to play against North Melbourne, with Gary Rohan also back after recovering from his heavy fall in round six against Carlton. Kieren Jack misses another game but if all goes well with his training, he should be right for round nine. Dan Robinson has been cleared to play but has to get through his contact work at training before he's picked. - Adam Curley |

Player | Injury | Estimated Return |
|---|---|---|
| Jamie Cripps | Ankle | 2-3 weeks |
| Liam Duggan | Thigh | Test |
| Scott Lycett* | Shoulder | 3-4 weeks |
| Nic Naitanui* | Knee | Late 2017 season |
| Jackson Nelson | Wrist | 1-2 weeks |
| Luke Partington | Hand | Test |
| Drew Petrie | Hand | 2 weeks |
| Willie Rioli | Hamstring | 1 week |
| Simon Tunbridge | Knee | Mid-late 2017 season |
| Jake Waterman | Foot | Indefinite |
| Francis Watson | Ankle | Indefinite |
| Updated: Tuesday, May 9 | ||
Early prognosis |
|---|
Pressure forward Jamie Cripps has made a remarkable recovery from a nasty ankle issue suffered in round five against Hawthorn, and could only be two weeks away from returning after looking set to miss up to two months. Liam Duggan is almost certain to be available to face the Western Bulldogs after being withdrawn late against the Power, while Drew Petrie might be available to take on Essendon in round nine after breaking his hand in round one. - Travis King |

Player | Injury | Estimated Return |
|---|---|---|
| Travis Cloke | Broken ribs | 1-2 weeks |
| Josh Dunkley | Shoulder | 12-14 weeks |
| Patrick Lipinski | Collarbone | 3-4 weeks |
| Brad Lynch | Hamstring | 2-3 weeks |
| Dale Morris | Leg | 1-2 weeks |
| Jordan Roughead | Hamstring | Test |
| Roarke Smith | Knee | Season |
| Jake Stringer | Knee | 2-3 weeks |
| Updated: Tuesday, May 9 | ||
Early prognosis |
|---|
The Dogs were relieved Jake Stringer has avoided a dreaded ACL tear, but the dynamic forward probably won't be seen until after the club's bye in round 11. The club is hopeful Josh Dunkley will return by the end of the home and away season after his shoulder injury sustained against Richmond. Jordan Roughead is likely to play in the VFL this week in his return from a serious hamstring injury. Veterans Travis Cloke and Dale Morris have returned to training on a modified program and the key duo could be available for the round nine clash against Geelong. - Ryan Davidson |
