Updated: August 16, 2022

Updated: August 16, 2022

Early prognosis

The Blues will give both Cerra and Williams every chance to play in this weekend's do-or-die clash with the Pies. Should they win that, expect Boyd, Hewett and Newman to put their hands up for September returns. However, Kennedy will miss the remainder of the season. – Riley Beveridge

Jordan De Goey	Hip flexor	Test
Jack Ginnivan	Hamstring	TBC
Brodie Grundy	Ankle	Season
Nathan Kreuger	Shoulder	Season
Reef McInnes	Shoulder	Season
Tom Wilson	Back	Season
Updated: August 16, 2022

Early prognosis

De Goey was a massive late out ahead of Sunday’s game against Sydney with a hip injury. The Magpies are hopeful he will be available for this weekend’s game against Carlton, but won’t take any risks ahead of the first final. Ginnivan was subbed out of the game with a hamstring and is set to face a race against the clock between now and then. Adams will need every day between now and Collingwood’s first final to overcome a groin injury. – Josh Gabelich

PLAYER	INJURY	ESTIMATED RETURN
Nik Cox	Ankle	Season
Will Snelling	Hamstring	1 week
James Stewart	Foot	TBC
Tex Wanganeen	Foot	Season
Updated: August 16, 2022

Early prognosis

Stewart was the fresh injury concern for the Bombers last week, although there are still no details around his foot injury. Dylan Shiel and Jye Caldwell returned against Port Adelaide. – Dejan Kalinic

PLAYER	INJURY	ESTIMATED RETURN
Nat Fyfe	Hamstring	Test
Rory Lobb	Chest/Shoulder	Test
Joel Hamling	Calf	Test
Matt Taberner	Calf	TBA
Josh Treacy	Illness	TBA
Nathan Wilson	H&S Protocols	Test
Updated: August 16, 2022

Early prognosis

Fyfe needs to get through training on Wednesday to prove his fitness and be available against Greater Western Sydney. Lobb remains sore and has re-aggravated an existing shoulder injury. Treacy has been battling a non-COVID related viral illness and is working back to fitness, ruling him out this week. Taberner will also be unavailable at least this week with his calf issue. – Nathan Schmook

PLAYER	INJURY	ESTIMATED RETURN
Jeremy Cameron	Hamstring	2-3 weeks
Jon Ceglar	Concussion	Test
Mitch Duncan	Managed	Test
Flynn Kroeger	Knee	Season
Shannon Neale	Concussion	Test
Rhys Stanley	Adductor	2-3 weeks
Cooper Stephens	Hip	Test
Cooper Whyte	Groin	Season
Updated: August 16, 2022

Early prognosis

Geelong has been dealt a major blow ahead of September with superstar forward Cameron ruled out of the game this weekend and now facing a race against the clock to be fit in time for the first final due to a minor hamstring strain. Stanley is also facing a similar timeline after suffering an adductor strain at Metricon Stadium. Ceglar could return if he exits concussion protocols this week. – Josh Gabelich

PLAYER	INJURY	ESTIMATED RETURN
Rory Atkins	Concussion	Season
Charlie Ballard	Knee	Season
Connor Budarick	Knee	Season
Sam Day	Knee	Season
Nick Holman	Back	Season
Joel Jeffrey	Knee	Season
Ben King	Knee	Season
Wil Powell	Ankle	Season
Bodhi Uwland	Back	Season
Lachie Weller	Knee	Season
Updated: August 16, 2022

Early prognosis

More setbacks for the Suns with Holman and Atkins unavailable for the final round against North Melbourne. Holman could possibly play at a pinch, but the club wants to take no risks with its hard-as-nails small forward. No confirmation yet, but Gold Coast suspects Day has injured the meniscus in his knee. – Michael Whiting

PLAYER	INJURY	ESTIMATED RETURN
Ryan Angwin	Leg	Season
Jarrod Brander	Hamstring	Season

Connor Idun	Foot	Season
Lachlan Keeffe	Groin	Season
James Peatling	Concussion	Test
Braydon Preuss	Shoulder	Test
Tim Taranto	Concussion	Test
Jacob Wehr	Calf	Season
Updated: August 16, 2022

Early prognosis

The good news is Taranto and Peatling should return if they tick the final stages of their concussion testing off this week. But as has been almost a weekly occurrence for the Giants in 2022, they lose a couple more players from the weekend with Keeffe and Bruhn to miss the final round against Fremantle. – Michael Whiting

PLAYER	INJURY	ESTIMATED RETURN
Lachlan Bramble	Back	Season
Tyler Brockman	Shoulder	Season

Josh Morris	Shoulder	Season
Tom Phillips	Knee	Season
Ned Reeves	Shoulder	Season
Chad Wingard	Hamstring/finger	Season
James Worpel	Shoulder	Season
Updated: August 16, 2022

Early prognosis

Hawthorn has had a long list of players ruled out for the remainder of the season for some time now. The Hawks put a line through Lewis and Jiath late last week after impressive seasons at Waverley Park, as well as Phillips who has struggled in his second season at Hawthorn. – Josh Gabelich

PLAYER	INJURY	ESTIMATED RETURN
Tom McDonald	Ankle	2-3 weeks
Andy Moniz-Wakefield	Groin	1-2 weeks
Fraser Rosman	Hamstring	1 week
Updated: August 16, 2022

Early prognosis

The Demons are hopeful McDonald will reintegrate back into full training during the pre-finals bye, giving him every chance of returning ahead of September. Deakyn Smith made his comeback from a jaw injury through the VFL last weekend. – Riley Beveridge

PLAYER	INJURY	ESTIMATED RETURN
Jed Anderson	Concussion	Season
Miller Bergman	Shoulder	Season
Paul Curtis	Shoulder	Test
Eddie Ford	Suspension	1 match
Todd Goldstein	Ankle	Test
Will Phillips	Illness	Season
Jared Polec	Foot	Season
Jayden Stephenson	Back	Season
Tristan Xerri	Shoulder	Season
Jack Ziebell	Shoulder	Season
Updated: August 16, 2022

Early prognosis

With just one match remaining, it's season over for Anderson after entering the AFL's 12-day concussion protocols. Stephenson and Ziebell also won't feature in round 23 after failing to finish last week's match, while Goldstein is another in doubt. But Curtis should play after recovering well. Ford will serve a suspension at VFL level, therefore won't be able to play against the Suns. – Riley Beveridge

PLAYER	INJURY	ESTIMATED RETURN
Tom Clurey	Knee	Season
Lachie Jones	Hamstring	Season
Scott Lycett	Shoulder	TBC
Jake Pasini	Knee	Season
Updated: August 16, 2022

Early prognosis

There were no fresh injuries for the Power on the weekend, with Clurey undergoing a clean-out of his right knee that has ended his campaign. Jones faces an extended period of rehabilitation after re-injuring his hamstring tendon, undergoing surgery with a view to being ready to start pre-season. – Nathan Schmook

PLAYER
Thomson Dow	Concussion	Test
Shane Edwards	Ankle	Test
Jack Graham	Foot	2-3 weeks
Dylan Grimes	Hamstring	3-4 weeks
Dustin Martin	Hamstring	2-3 weeks
Updated: August 16, 2022

Early prognosis

Graham has been managing a "turf toe-type injury" this season and it flared up against Hawthorn. Scans have shown a minor stress reaction in his foot, and he's set to be a test for the first final. Edwards should play this week after tweaking his ankle, while Martin is progressing well and is hopeful for the elimination final. Grimes has definitely been ruled out of the first final. – Sarah Black

PLAYER	INJURY	ESTIMATED RETURN
Oscar Adams	Back	Season
Josh Battle	Cork	Test
Jack Billings	Back	Season
Nick Coffield	ACL	Season
Jade Gresham	Knee	Season
Dan Hannebery	Ankle	Test
Jack Hayes	Knee	Season
Tom Highmore	Hand	Test
Daniel McKenzie	Calf	Test
Paddy Ryder	Calf	Season
Jimmy Webster	Hamstring	Season
Updated: August 16, 2022

Early prognosis

After being cleared of a season-ending ankle injury last week, Hannebery is a chance to return for Sunday's game against Sydney, which looms as the final game of the Saints' campaign. Battle will also need to pass a fitness test on Thursday. Webster hurt his hamstring against Brisbane last Friday night and has been ruled out. Billings is done for the season with a back injury. – Josh Gabelich

PLAYER	INJURY	ESTIMATED RETURN
Josh Kennedy	Hamstring	TBC
Lewis Melican	Hamstring	2 weeks
Sam Naismith	Knee	Season
Colin O'Riordan	Hip	TBC
Marc Sheather	Ankle	TBC
Updated: August 16, 2022

Early prognosis

The Swans keep soldiering on with not a lot of concerns. Kennedy will continue training in the hope of being available late in the finals series, while Melican's issue is just low-grade and he's expected to be available around the start of the finals campaign. – Michael Whiting

PLAYER	INJURY	ESTIMATED RETURN
Oscar Allen	Foot	Inactive
Campbell Chesser	Ankle	Inactive
Tom Cole	Ankle	Inactive
Luke Edwards	Groin	Inactive
Callum Jamieson	Groin	Season

Jeremy McGovern	Ribs	Season
Nic Naitanui	Knee	Test
Jack Petruccelle	Hamstring	Season
Dom Sheed	Shins	Season
Connor West	Wrist	Season
Elliot Yeo	Calf	Season
Updated: August 16, 2022

Early prognosis

Jones suffered back spasms during the Derby against Fremantle and has had a light start to the week, with a fitness test to come at main training. Naitanui is not 100 per cent and the Eagles will assess whether he is better off being managed for the final round of the season. Petruccelle and Yeo have both fallen short in their bids to return for the trip to Geelong, while Andrew Gaff and Jake Waterman have clouds over them this week. – Nathan Schmook

PLAYER	INJURY	ESTIMATED RETURN
Dom Bedendo	Knee	1-2 weeks
Hayden Crozier	Ankle	Test
Jason Johannisen	Ankle	Test
Buku Khamis	Concussion	Test
Charlie Parker	Hamstring	1-2 weeks
Anthony Scott	Concussion	Test
Mitch Wallis	Foot	Season
Updated: August 16, 2022

Early prognosis

The Dogs will decide this week whether Johannisen has done enough to return from his ankle injury suffered at training a fortnight ago. He will need to get through the week on the track to be available for the crunch game against Hawthorn. Khamis completed a training session over the weekend after a head knock in the VFL last week and will train this week. – Callum Twomey
