With Michalanney missing, however, another defender could be needed to tackle the Hawks&#8217; small forwards. Hugh Bond hasn&#8217;t played this season but would fit the bill. Substitute Chayce Jones could also come into the 22 and fill a role, with few changes expected beyond that after a 98-point win. On the injury front,\u00a0Butts received good news from his surgeon this week and will be able to join main training and contact training at the end of this week. Rachele will remove a heavy knee brace later this week, helping him progress to the next stage of his rehabilitation. \u2013 Nathan Schmook\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>PLAYER<br \/>\nINJURY<br \/>\nESTIMATED RETURN<\/p>\n<p>Noah Answerth<br \/>\nAchilles<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Keidean Coleman<br \/>\nQuad<br \/>\n6-8 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Kai Lohmann<br \/>\nCalf<br \/>\n3-4 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Lincoln McCarthy<br \/>\nKnee<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Conor McKenna<br \/>\nHamstring<br \/>\n4 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Jack Payne<br \/>\nKnee<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Updated: July 29, 2025<\/p>\n<p>In the mix<\/p>\n<p>The Lions will need to make a minimum of one change to face Collingwood at the MCG on Saturday night following the injury suffered by McKenna. With Lohmann sidelined for a while, Will McLachlan looks a good option at half-forward, while Bruce Reville could also come under consideration for the 23. The two-pronged ruck approach struggled against Gold Coast last week, with either Sam Day or youngster Henry Smith strong chances to replace Oscar McInerney, who appears to be battling his body, and play as a key forward that back-up Darcy Fort. \u2013 Michael Whiting<\/p>\n<p>PLAYER<br \/>\nINJURY<br \/>\nESTIMATED RETURN<\/p>\n<p>Ben Camporeale<br \/>\nSuspension<br \/>\nRound 23<\/p>\n<p>Matt Cottrell<br \/>\nFoot<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Francis Evans<br \/>\nConcussion<br \/>\nTest<\/p>\n<p>Orazio Fantasia<br \/>\nHamstring<br \/>\nTBC<\/p>\n<p>Brodie Kemp<br \/>\nAchilles<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Harry Lemmey<br \/>\nHamstring<br \/>\n3-4 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Mitch McGovern<br \/>\nHamstring<br \/>\n1 week<\/p>\n<p>Nic Newman<br \/>\nKnee<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Jack Silvagni<br \/>\nGroin<br \/>\nTBC<\/p>\n<p>Jagga Smith<br \/>\nKnee<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Sam Walsh<br \/>\nFoot<br \/>\nTBC<\/p>\n<p>Flynn Young<br \/>\nFoot\u00a0<br \/>\nTest<\/p>\n<p>Updated: July 29, 2025<\/p>\n<p>In the mix<\/p>\n<p>The Blues will be hopeful both\u00a0Evans and\u00a0Young make themselves available for Sunday&#8217;s clash with the Dockers. However,\u00a0McGovern remains at least another week away, while timelines for\u00a0Walsh and\u00a0Silvagni remain unclear. The club&#8217;s VFL side had the bye over the weekend, making selection decisions difficult, but Jaxon Binns, Jordan Boyd and Hudson O&#8217;Keeffe were among the emergencies at AFL level. \u2013\u00a0Riley Beveridge<\/p>\n<p>PLAYER<br \/>\nINJURY<br \/>\nESTIMATED RETURN<\/p>\n<p>Harvey Harrison<br \/>\nKnee<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Jeremy Howe<br \/>\nGroin<br \/>\n1 week<\/p>\n<p>Tew Jiath<br \/>\nQuad<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Beau McCreery<br \/>\nHamstring<br \/>\n2 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Reef McInnes<br \/>\nKnee<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Jakob Ryan<br \/>\nFoot<br \/>\n7-9 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Iliro Smit<br \/>\nFoot<br \/>\n4-5 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Lachie Sullivan<br \/>\nKnee<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Charlie West<br \/>\nFoot<br \/>\n4-5 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Updated: July 29, 2025<\/p>\n<p>In the mix<\/p>\n<p>Scott Pendlebury will return against Brisbane on Saturday night after being managed due to a corked quad last weekend. Howe has been ruled out for another week after his rehab was delayed due to illness. Sullivan will miss the rest of the season after suffering a high-grade PCL injury against Richmond, requiring 12 weeks on the sidelines. Bobby Hill, Jordan De Goey and Billy Frampton all made successful returns in the VFL on Saturday night and could face the Lions this weekend. \u2013\u00a0Josh Gabelich<\/p>\n<p>PLAYER<br \/>\nINJURY<br \/>\nESTIMATED RETURN<\/p>\n<p>Nick Bryan<br \/>\nKnee<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Jye Caldwell<br \/>\nAnkle<br \/>\n4 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Nik Cox<br \/>\nConcussion<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Sam Draper<br \/>\nAchilles<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Tom Edwards<br \/>\nKnee<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Lewis Hayes<br \/>\nKnee<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Ben Hobbs<br \/>\nGroin<br \/>\nTest<\/p>\n<p>Harrison Jones<br \/>\nAnkle<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Kyle Langford<br \/>\nQuad<br \/>\n2 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Nic Martin<br \/>\nKnee<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Ben McKay<br \/>\nFoot<br \/>\nTBC<\/p>\n<p>Darcy Parish<br \/>\nCalf<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Zach Reid<br \/>\nHamstring<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Jordan Ridley<br \/>\nHamstring<br \/>\n4 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Will Setterfield<br \/>\nFoot<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Elijah Tsatas<br \/>\nHamstring<br \/>\n4 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Updated: July 29, 2025<\/p>\n<p>In the mix<\/p>\n<p>The Bombers suffered yet another injury blow with important defender Ridley hurting his hamstring again. There are few tall defenders left to replace him, with first-year\u00a0forward\/ruck Kayle Gerreyn featuring in defence in the VFL and finishing with 16 disposals and seven marks. Ben Hobbs and Archie May didn\u2019t feature at any level last week and may be options for recalls in the middle and up forward respectively, while Jayden Nguyen (19 disposals), Alwyn Davey jnr (19), Jye Menzie (15 and a goal), Vigo Visentini (nine, 25 hitouts\u00a0and three clearances) and Archer Day-Wicks (six) were the only other AFL-listed players who played in the VFL. \u2013 Dejan Kalinic<\/p>\n<p>PLAYER<br \/>\nINJURY<br \/>\nESTIMATED RETURN<\/p>\n<p>James Aish<br \/>\nBack<br \/>\nTest<\/p>\n<p>Nat Fyfe<br \/>\nCalf<br \/>\nTest<\/p>\n<p>Matthew Johnson<br \/>\nAnkle\/foot<br \/>\n3 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Odin Jones<br \/>\nBack<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Alex Pearce<br \/>\nShin<br \/>\nTest<\/p>\n<p>Aiden Riddle<br \/>\nFoot<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Sam Sturt<br \/>\nKnee<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Corey Wagner<br \/>\nHeel<br \/>\nTest<\/p>\n<p>Updated: July 29, 2025<\/p>\n<p>In the mix<\/p>\n<p>Fremantle is getting very close to having its best team available as captain Pearce pushes to return from a shin injury.\u00a0Pearce would play just his second game since round 11 if cleared to return after a short-lived comeback against Sydney in round 17. Wagner is pushing to return after missing last Saturday&#8217;s Derby with heel bruising, with the versatile runner building into the week and facing a test on Friday. Cooper Simpson showed his value as a rebounding defender earlier this season and played managed minutes in his WAFL return after recovering from an AC joint injury. Brandon Walker continues to push for recall but can&#8217;t break into strong backline. Fyfe could be an ideal substitute if ready against the combative Carlton midfielders. Quinton Narkle and Will Brodie each had 41 disposals with Peel Thunder in the WAFL. \u2013 Nathan Schmook<\/p>\n<p>PLAYER<br \/>\nINJURY<br \/>\nESTIMATED RETURN<\/p>\n<p>Mitch Duncan<br \/>\nShoulder<br \/>\n1 week<\/p>\n<p>Cameron Guthrie<br \/>\nCalf<br \/>\n1 week<\/p>\n<p>Jake Kolodjashnij<br \/>\nGroin<br \/>\n1 week<\/p>\n<p>Oli Wiltshire<br \/>\nConcussion<br \/>\nConcussion protocols<\/p>\n<p>Updated: July 29, 2025<\/p>\n<p>In the mix<\/p>\n<p>With a bit of luck, the Cats could find themselves with a clean bill of health in a week&#8217;s time with experienced stars Duncan, Guthrie and Kolodjashnij all set to play at some level after one more round on the sidelines. Henry copped a head knock in the VFL Cats&#8217; two-point win over North Melbourne, having collected 15 disposals and two goals to that point. Oli Wiltshire (two goals, 14 touches) made a successful return from concussion protocols, while Jhye Clark starred with 25 disposals and a couple of goals. George Stevens had 30 touches and 12 clearances, while Toby Conway&#8217;s form is building with 18 disposals, eight clearances and 24 hitouts. \u2013 Michael Rogers<\/p>\n<p>PLAYER<br \/>\nINJURY<br \/>\nESTIMATED RETURN<\/p>\n<p>Charlie Ballard<br \/>\nKnee<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Will Graham<br \/>\nShoulder<br \/>\nTest<\/p>\n<p>Elliott Himmelberg<br \/>\nKnee<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Max Knobel<br \/>\nFoot<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Touk Miller<br \/>\nHamstring<br \/>\nTest<\/p>\n<p>Daniel Rioli<br \/>\nLeg<br \/>\n4-6 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Sam Clohesy<br \/>\nAnkle<br \/>\n1-3 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Updated: July 29, 2025<\/p>\n<p>In the mix<\/p>\n<p>Could be a huge inclusion for the Suns to face Richmond, with Miller to come straight back in if he passes a fitness test. Graham is in the same boat after spending 12 weeks on the sidelines, although he might have to come back through the VFL following the senior team\u2019s thumping of Brisbane. Jed Walter kicked two goals in the reserves at the weekend and would be ready if coach Damien Hardwick wanted to return to his three tall forward set-up. \u2013 Michael Whiting<\/p>\n<p>PLAYER<br \/>\nINJURY<br \/>\nESTIMATED RETURN<\/p>\n<p>Cody Angove<br \/>\nBack<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Jack Buckley<br \/>\nCalf<br \/>\n3-4 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Brent Daniels<br \/>\nAdductor<br \/>\n4-5 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Wade Derksen<br \/>\nToe<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Toby Greene<br \/>\nSuspension<br \/>\nRound 22<\/p>\n<p>Ollie Hannaford<br \/>\nAnkle<br \/>\n4 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Josh Kelly<br \/>\nCalf<br \/>\n3-4 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Jack Ough<br \/>\nShoulder<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Conor Stone<br \/>\nFoot<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Callan Ward<br \/>\nKnee<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Nathan Wardius<br \/>\nLeg<br \/>\nTest<\/p>\n<p>Updated: July 29, 2025<\/p>\n<p>In the mix<\/p>\n<p>The Giants will be forced into at least three changes for Thursday night&#8217;s clash against the Dogs. Greene will serve a one-match suspension, though Max Gruzewski (13 disposals, five goals) looks a decent option as a replacement having once again dominated in the VFL.\u00a0Buckley will miss the remainder of the home-and-away season, but Leek Aleer should be fit again to take his place after he was rested last weekend.\u00a0Kelly\u00a0will also be sidelined until finals, though Jacob Wehr (27 disposals, one goal) and James Leake (25 disposals, seven tackles) were among the best in the reserves and will be considered as his replacement. Harry Rowston and Harvey Thomas were also among the AFL emergencies last weekend and will come into contention. \u2013 Riley Beveridge<\/p>\n<p>PLAYER<br \/>\nINJURY<br \/>\nESTIMATED RETURN<\/p>\n<p>Mabior Chol<br \/>\nGroin<br \/>\nTest<\/p>\n<p>Finn Maginness<br \/>\nKidney<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Noah Mraz<br \/>\nKnee<br \/>\n4-5 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Josh Weddle<br \/>\nBack<br \/>\nTBC<\/p>\n<p>Updated: July 29, 2025<\/p>\n<p>In the mix<\/p>\n<p>Sam Mitchell and the match committee at Waverley Park face a tough selection call this week with\u00a0Chol expected to be available for selection after missing a fortnight with a groin injury. Calsher Dear has now played the past three games, while Mitch Lewis impressed in his second game back from a knee reconstruction. Box Hill didn&#8217;t play last weekend, but Max Ramsden, Cam Mackenzie and Jai Serong were all emergencies.\u00a0 \u2013 Josh Gabelich<\/p>\n<p>PLAYER<br \/>\nINJURY<br \/>\nESTIMATED RETURN<\/p>\n<p>Jack Henderson<br \/>\nGroin<br \/>\nTest<\/p>\n<p>Marty Hore<br \/>\nKnee\/Shoulder<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Jake Lever<br \/>\nAnkle<br \/>\nTBC<\/p>\n<p>Steven May<br \/>\nConcussion\/Suspension<br \/>\nRound 23<\/p>\n<p>Shane McAdam<br \/>\nAchilles<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Andy Moniz-Wakefield<br \/>\nKnee<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Oliver Sestan<br \/>\nFace<br \/>\n3 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Updated: July 29, 2025<\/p>\n<p>In the mix<\/p>\n<p>The big question is, what will the fallout be from the Demons&#8217; disastrous fadeout against St Kilda on Sunday? If Simon Goodwin opts to swing the axe ahead of a clash with the bottom-placed Eagles, there&#8217;s been plenty of strong performances at the lower level to reward. Harry Sharp (five goals, 14 disposals, six marks), Koltyn Tholstrup (16 disposals, six clearances, six tackles) and Matt Jefferson (two goals from seven scoring shots, 16 disposals, seven marks) all impressed after being omitted from the side to face the Saints, while Jack Billings (35 disposals, eight marks, six tackles, two goals) and Bailey Laurie (25 disposals, nine tackles, five clearances, one goal) continue to look promising at the lower level. May remains in concussion protocols but would be unavailable regardless after the AFL Appeals Board upheld his three-game ban on Monday night, while his sidekick Lever also remains sidelined with an ankle issue. While there&#8217;s no timeline set for his return with just four games remaining, the club says Lever&#8217;s focus is on building strength and function in the ankle after ongoing issues have hampered his season to date. &#8211; Alison O&#8217;Connor<\/p>\n<p>PLAYER<br \/>\nINJURY<br \/>\nESTIMATED RETURN<\/p>\n<p>Jackson Archer<br \/>\nAnkle<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Miller Bergman<br \/>\nKnee<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Callum Coleman-Jones<br \/>\nCalf<br \/>\n2 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Aidan Corr<br \/>\nCalf<br \/>\n1-2 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Josh Goater<br \/>\nCalf<br \/>\n3 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Nick Larkey<br \/>\nKnee<br \/>\nTest<\/p>\n<p>Luke McDonald<br \/>\nShoulder<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Darcy Tucker<br \/>\nBack<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Tristan Xerri<br \/>\nSuspension<br \/>\nRound 22<\/p>\n<p>Updated: July 29, 2025<\/p>\n<p>In the mix<\/p>\n<p>The Kangas are now confident that\u00a0Larkey will feature in Sunday&#8217;s clash against the Saints, while Cooper Harvey (illness) should also be available. George Wardlaw (19 disposals, nine tackles) is another who could come into contention after impressing at VFL level last weekend. Geordie Payne (15 disposals, four goals) and Cooper Trembath (10 disposals, three goals) were also solid and could push for AFL debuts, while Will Phillips (20 disposals, seven tackles) was another to play well. Zac Fisher and Taylor Goad were among the emergencies at AFL level last weekend. \u2013\u00a0Riley Beveridge<\/p>\n<p>PLAYER<br \/>\nINJURY<br \/>\nESTIMATED RETURN<\/p>\n<p>Benny Barrett<br \/>\nAnkle<br \/>\nTBC<\/p>\n<p>Ryan Burton<br \/>\nKnee<br \/>\n2-4 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Tom Cochrane<br \/>\nFoot<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Jason Horne-Francis<br \/>\nFoot<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Lachie Jones<br \/>\nCorked thigh<br \/>\nTest<\/p>\n<p>Jack Lukosius<br \/>\nCalf<br \/>\n1-2 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Todd Marshall<br \/>\nAchilles<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Jacob Moss<br \/>\nAnkle<br \/>\n1-2 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Sam Powell-Pepper<br \/>\nKnee<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Esava Ratugolea<br \/>\nHamstring<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Dante Visentini<br \/>\nAnkle<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Xavier Walsh<br \/>\nShoulder<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Updated: July 29, 2025<\/p>\n<p>In the mix<\/p>\n<p>With Lukosius missing through injury, Ken Hinkley has a stack of options to change up his team to face Geelong from the one that was belted against Adelaide. Jack Whitlock could be a given a debut if Port wanted to look at some fresh blood, while Dylan Williams responded from being dropped in superb fashion in the SANFL, booting six goals against the Crows. Two other players left out of the Showdown did all they could for a recall, with Will Lorenz and Mani Liddy both impressing. Willie Rioli has now played a couple of matches at the lower level and will come under consideration. &#8211; Michael Whiting<\/p>\n<p>PLAYER<br \/>\nINJURY<br \/>\nESTIMATED RETURN<\/p>\n<p>Jacob Bauer<br \/>\nACL<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Seth Campbell<br \/>\nConcussion<br \/>\nTest<\/p>\n<p>Judson Clarke<br \/>\nACL<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Mate Colina<br \/>\nShoulder<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Thomson Dow<br \/>\nPatella<br \/>\n2-5 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Liam Fawcett<br \/>\nFoot<br \/>\n2-4 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Campbell Gray<br \/>\nKnee<br \/>\n4-6 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Ollie Hayes-Brown<br \/>\nHamstring<br \/>\n2-4 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Sam Lalor<br \/>\nHamstring<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Mykelti Lefau<br \/>\nCalf<br \/>\n2-4 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Tom Lynch<br \/>\nSuspension<br \/>\nRound 22<\/p>\n<p>Kane McAuliffe<br \/>\nQuad<br \/>\n4-6 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Hugo Ralphsmith<br \/>\nHamstring<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Samson Ryan<br \/>\nFoot<br \/>\n4-6 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Josh Smillie<br \/>\nConditioning<br \/>\nTest<\/p>\n<p>Tim Taranto<br \/>\nCalf<br \/>\nTest<\/p>\n<p>Updated: July 29, 2025<\/p>\n<p>In the mix<\/p>\n<p>Taranto is a test for this week after his calf re-tightened in the warm-up before Collingwood, but won\u2019t be risked, while Campbell is very likely to re-join the team. Smillie will be available for the VFL if he gets through training this week, Dow is finally seeing some light at the end of the tunnel (although his timeline remains unchanged for now), but the news isn\u2019t as good for McAuliffe, who re-strained his quad at training. The Tigers only had three AFL-listed players in the VFL, with Harry Armstrong likely needing another game in the twos before he gets another chance at the top. \u2013 Sarah Black<\/p>\n<p>PLAYER<br \/>\nINJURY<br \/>\nESTIMATED RETURN<\/p>\n<p>Dan Butler<br \/>\nElbow<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Jack Carroll<br \/>\nKnee<br \/>\nTest<\/p>\n<p>Lance Collard<br \/>\nLeg contusion<br \/>\nTest<\/p>\n<p>Hugo Garcia<br \/>\nWrist<br \/>\nTest<\/p>\n<p>Dougal Howard<br \/>\nHamstring<br \/>\nTBC<\/p>\n<p>Isaac Keeler<br \/>\nHamstring<br \/>\nTest<\/p>\n<p>Max King<br \/>\nKnee<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Mattaes Phillipou<br \/>\nPlantaris<br \/>\nTest<\/p>\n<p>Patrick Said<br \/>\nCalf<br \/>\n2-3 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Jimmy Webster<br \/>\nCalf<br \/>\n2-3 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Darcy Wilson<br \/>\nConcussion<br \/>\nTest<\/p>\n<p>Updated: July 29, 2025<\/p>\n<p>In the mix<\/p>\n<p>Phillipou is on track to be available this weekend after missing since the trip to Alice Springs in round 12 due to a plantaris injury. Collard will be assessed later in the week after being subbed out with a shin contusion against the Demons. Wilson, Keeler, Carroll and Garcia all face fitness tests later in the week. Paddy Dow is closing in on his first AFL appearance of the year after finishing with 27 touches and five clearances against Casey, while Tobie Travaglia collected 31 touches in the VFL. Max Heath amassed 24 disposals, 19 hitouts and 11 clearances for Sandringham. \u2013\u00a0Josh Gabelich<\/p>\n<p>PLAYER<br \/>\nINJURY<br \/>\nESTIMATED RETURN<\/p>\n<p>Joel Amartey<br \/>\nHamstring\u00a0<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Will Edwards<br \/>\nLeg<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Joel Hamling<br \/>\nHamstring<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Tom McCartin<br \/>\nConcussion<br \/>\nTest<\/p>\n<p>Logan McDonald<br \/>\nAnkle<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Hayden McLean<br \/>\nConcussion<br \/>\nTBC<\/p>\n<p>Updated: July 29, 2025<\/p>\n<p>In the mix<\/p>\n<p>The Swans&#8217; tall stocks are again stretched thin for their clash against the Bombers. They will need to replace McLean and Hamling, with McCartin a chance to return from concussion while Aaron Francis could also come into the starting 22 and Peter Ladhams will be considered for a recall. The club has opted to take a conservative approach with McDonald, which means his season is officially over without having played a senior game. With their finals hopes dashed, coach Dean Cox may look to try some younger players in the last month of the season. Jesse Dattoli kicked another three goals in the VFL last Friday, Caiden Cleary and Corey Warner have been standouts in the twos in the past few weeks, while veterans Robbie Fox and Taylor Adams have returned from long injury lay-offs and will be desperate for some senior footy. &#8211; Martin Smith<\/p>\n<p>PLAYER<br \/>\nINJURY<br \/>\nESTIMATED RETURN<\/p>\n<p>Bo Allan<br \/>\nAnkle<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Oscar Allen<br \/>\nCalf\/Achilles\/Knee<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Harry Edwards<br \/>\nHamstring<br \/>\nTest<\/p>\n<p>Callum Jamieson<br \/>\nHamstring<br \/>\n1 week<\/p>\n<p>Harley Reid<br \/>\nAnke<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Jake Waterman<br \/>\nShoulder<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Elliot Yeo<br \/>\nAnkle<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Updated: July 29, 2025<\/p>\n<p>In the mix<\/p>\n<p>Midfielder Tom Gross was clearly the Eagles&#8217; best player in the WAFL and should return for his first game since round 11 after impressing with 23 disposals, five clearances and two goals against Peel Thunder. Key defender Edwards has pulled up well after he was withdrawn late against Fremantle with hamstring tightness. He is a chance to return. Campbell Chesser (20 disposals in the WAFL) has not played at AFL level this season but could be given a go as he comes out of contract. Draftee Lucca Grego is pushing to make his debut as a half-back, while mid-season recruit Jacob Newton (17 and a goal) is an option this week as a small forward.
