Sam Berry | Calf | Test |
Hugh Bond | Knee | TBA |
Darcy Fogarty | Knee | 1 week |
Shane McAdam | Suspension | Round 5 |
Patrick Parnell | Concussion | Concussion protocols |
Luke Pedlar | Suspension | Round 5 |
Josh Worrell | Hamstring | 2 weeks |
Updated: April 4, 2023 |
Early prognosis
Fogarty is showing "positive signs" in training but remains unlikely to return this week. Berry has a minor calf complaint and will train ahead of the clash with Fremantle to push his case. A timeline for Bond to return from a knee fracture will be known later this week. Worrell will be in full training next week with his sights on a round six return. – Nathan Schmook
PLAYER | INJURY | ESTIMATED RETURN |
---|---|---|
Darcy Gardiner | Ankle | Test |
Daniel Rich | Quad | Test |
Updated: April 4, 2023 |
Early prognosis
Rich took part in the Lions' warm up on Tuesday morning and is not yet a confirmed starter for Thursday night's match against Collingwood after missing out last week. Gardiner is a curious case. He had off-season shoulder surgery, was on track nicely before picking up an ankle problem a month ago. The club is now listing him as a shoulder again and is closing in on a return, although he took no part in Tuesday's main warm up. - Michael Whiting

Updated: April 4, 2023 |

Arlo Draper | Concussion | TBC |
Jeremy Howe | Arm | TBC |
Nathan Kreuger | Shoulder | 2-4 weeks |
Patrick Lipinski | Shoulder | Post mid-season bye |
Updated: April 4, 2023 |
Early prognosis
The ruck stocks at the AIA Centre have taken a battering with Cameron not expected to be available until the mid-season bye after suffering an MCL injury against Richmond last Thursday. Cox will be assessed in a fortnight after discovering a hematoma in his rib region last week. Begg is still a month away with a back issue. Kreuger could return for some minutes within a fortnight. Howe’s return has been delayed by an infection in his arm that hospitalised the veteran defender last week. - Josh Gabelich

Elijah Tsatas | Knee | 9-10 weeks |
Peter Wright | Shoulder | 14-16 weeks |
Brandon Zerk-Thatcher | Ankle | Test |
Updated: April 4, 2023 |
Early prognosis
There were a couple of blows for the Bombers last week with confirmation Guelfi (hamstring) and Ben Hobbs (ankle) had suffered injuries, with the former to miss at least six weeks and the latter expected to be available for selection this weekend. Essendon will be hoping Zerk-Thatcher is back for round three after missing last week due to an ankle injury. The Bombers have also confirmed gun forward Wright will miss most of the season. – Dejan Kalinic
PLAYER | INJURY | ESTIMATED RETURN |
---|---|---|
Heath Chapman | Calf | 3-5 weeks |
Travis Colyer | Knee | 3-4 weeks |
Nat Fyfe | Plantar fascia | TBA |
Updated: April 4, 2023 |
Early prognosis
Fyfe will not return this week as the Dockers try "a few different things" to help him through his foot injury, with the dual Brownlow medallist hoping to return shortly. Chapman suffered a "moderate" calf injury in the Western Derby that will sideline him for at least three weeks. – Nathan Schmook

Toby Conway | Foot | TBC |
Sam De Koning | Concussion | 1-2 weeks |
Jack Henry | Foot | TBC |
Sam Menegola | Knee | TBC |
Rhys Stanley | Ribs | Test |
Updated: April 4, 2023 |
Early prognosis
De Koning has entered concussion protocols following a brutal collision with Nick Holman in Sunday’s loss at Heritage Bank Stadium. Mitch Duncan will be available for selection after missing the start to the season due to a pre-season calf injury. Stanley could be available after being named as an emergency against the Suns following a blow to the ribs in round two. - Josh Gabelich
PLAYER | INJURY | ESTIMATED RETURN |
---|---|---|
Jed Anderson | Hamstring | 4 weeks |
Connor Budarick | Knee | TBC |
Brandon Ellis | Calf | TBC |
Sam Flanders | Knee | 6 weeks |
Updated: April 4, 2023 |
Early prognosis
Terrible news for Flanders after confirmation he suffered a medial collateral ligament injury in his knee during Sunday's win over Geelong and will miss six weeks. Anderson also suffered a substantial hamstring injury in the VFL, while Ellis is making a slow comeback. - Michael Whiting
PLAYER | INJURY | ESTIMATED RETURN |

Harry Perryman | Hamstring | 3-4 weeks |
Braydon Preuss | Back | 6-8 weeks |
Jacob Wehr | Shoulder | 10-12 weeks |
Updated: April 4, 2023 |
Early prognosis
The Giants will lose first-round pick Jones for the entire season after he ruptured his ACL over the weekend. O'Halloran should return this week, while veteran Phil Davis (ankle) made his comeback through the VFL last Saturday. Aleer and Perryman are expected to be back within the month. – Riley Beveridge

Emerson Jeka | Hamstring | 1-2 weeks |
Mitch Lewis | ACL | 1-2 weeks |
Josh Morris | Shoulder | 1 week |
Jai Serong | Pericarditis | Indefinite |
Chad Wingard | Calf | Test |
Updated: April 4, 2023 |
Early prognosis
Hawthorn returned to the winners list at UTAS Stadium on the weekend and is hoping to regain a big name star for the Easter Thursday blockbuster against Geelong. Wingard just missed out last week, with the Hawks opting not to take a risk after he suffered a minor calf strain in round one. The dual All-Australian will be tested later in the week. While Lewis is the big injury issue at Waverley Park right now, youngster Serong will miss at least the next two months after being diagnosed with a heart issue last week. - Josh Gabelich
PLAYER | INJURY | ESTIMATED RETURN |
---|---|---|
Max Gawn | Knee | 3-5 weeks |

Josh Schache | Concussion | Test |
Joel Smith | Thumb | 3 weeks |
Daniel Turner | Ribs | Test |
Will Verrall | Pelvis | 8-10 weeks |
Taj Woewodin | Finger | 4 weeks |
Updated: April 4, 2023 |
Early prognosis
Spearhead Ben Brown was subbed off in the third quarter of Sunday’s win with a back issue but has been cleared to face West Coast. Gawn was back running this week as he continues to make inroads on his recovery from an MCL sprain, but the skipper is still up to a month away. Defender Smith underwent surgery this week on a thumb injury. Schache, who is yet to play a senior game with his new club, will face a test before exiting concussion protocols. – Alison O’Connor

Brayden George | Knee | Season |
Griffin Logue | Suspension | Round 5 |
Ben McKay | Foot | 1-2 weeks |
Tristan Xerri | Ankle | TBC |
Updated: April 4, 2023 |
Early prognosis
The Kangaroos expect Davies-Uniacke to be fit for their Good Friday clash against the Blues, while Coleman-Jones should return via the VFL. However, McKay is still at least another week away. - Riley Beveridge
PLAYER | INJURY | ESTIMATED RETURN |
---|---|---|
Lachie Jones | Hamstring | Test |
Trent McKenzie | Ankle | Test |
Updated: April 4, 2023 |
Early prognosis
Possibly some good news for Port with McKenzie recovering quickly from his opening round ankle injury. The veteran defender needs to get through training this week to be available to face Sydney. Jones will also be assessed later in the week after having hamstring tightness following Saturday night's Showdown against Adelaide. - Michael Whiting
PLAYER | INJURY | ESTIMATED RETURN |

Nathan Broad | Suspension | 3 weeks |
Tom Brown | Wrist | 4-6 weeks |

Josh Gibcus | Hamstring | 3-5 weeks |
Jayden Short | Calf | 1-2 weeks |
Kaleb Smith | Foot | 6-11 weeks |
Ivan Soldo | Foot | 1-3 weeks |
Updated: April 4, 2023 |
Early prognosis
Dustin Martin (hamstring) and Jacob Hopper (knee) are available to face the Bulldogs, but Short will miss at least another week. Brown has suffered a setback and now needs an operation on his wrist after consultation with a surgeon. Soldo has progressed from a medium-term injury to a short-term injury, while Robbie Tarrant (hip) returned through the VFL last week. – Sarah Black

Tim Membrey | Knee | 2-3 weeks |
Jack Steele | Collarbone | 3-4 weeks |
Jimmy Webster | Hand | 5-6 weeks |
Mason Wood | Shoulder | Test |
Updated: April 4, 2023 |
Early prognosis
St Kilda has dodged a bullet with Wood. The 29-year-old injured his shoulder against Essendon but remains a chance to face Gold Coast this weekend. Webster’s bad run has continued. The Tasmanian will miss more than a month with a fractured cheekbone, while skipper Steele is at least three weeks away from returning from a broken collarbone. King is set to miss most, if not all, of the first half of the season after that shoulder reconstruction in December. - Josh Gabelich

Ryan Clarke | Hamstring | 1-2 weeks |
Robbie Fox | Calf | 1-2 weeks |
Tom Hickey | Hamstring | 3 weeks |
Jacob Konstanty | Shin | TBC |
Sam Reid | Glute | 2 weeks |
Sam Wicks | Shoulder | TBC |
Updated: April 4, 2023 |
Early prognosis
There's little change on the injury front for the Swans, with the quartet of Hickey, Reid, Fox and Clarke still a little while away. A return to winning ways against Port this week may help convince the club to take the cautious route and get them some game time in the VFL first, particularly for the likes of Hickey and Reid given their injury history. There were no fresh casualties from the loss to the Dees. – Martin Smith

Updated: April 4, 2023 |
Early prognosis
Ryan and McGovern will both likely require surgery on hamstring tendon injuries, while Cripps underwent surgery on Tuesday, with the trio set for extended stints on the sidelines. Chesser's timeframe to return will be assessed later after he was in a knee brace following the Western Derby. Edwards is clear of bone damage after a training mishap on Tuesday. The Eagles expect Yeo to be available this week. – Nathan Schmook

Laitham Vandermeer | Fractured leg | 2-4 weeks |
Cody Weightman | Groin | 1-2 weeks |
Updated: April 4, 2023 |
Early prognosis
Taylor Duryea will be available to face Richmond on Saturday after recovering from the illness that ruled him out of last Thursday night’s win over Brisbane. Weightman is closing in on a return from the adductor complaint that curtailed his pre-season. The small forward is aiming to be fit for Gather Round, while Vandermeer is still at least a fortnight away from returning. - Josh Gabelich
