per Seven\u2019s Mitch Cleary<\/a>. Given the Cats will be coming off just a five-day break, it\u2019s a short week on the training track. The Cats currently enjoy the shortest injury list in the AFL, and could welcome back the likes of experienced trio Mitch Duncan (shoulder), Jake Kolodjashnij (groin) and Cam Guthrie (calf). Whether they slot straight back into the side or return via the VFL \u2014 where the Cats enjoyed the bye last weekend, remains to be seen. Jack Martin\u2019s record four-goal burst (in the shortest amount of time this century) could be enough to see him promoted from sub.<\/p>\nCameron’s six goals down Port | 02:44<\/p>\n

Team Tips:Nate Caddy could spend the remainder of the season on the sidelines amid an ongoing groin issue. Jayden Nguyen was quiet on the stat sheet in his league debut, but all-in-all held Sydney\u2019s Tom Papley down quite well. In a polar opposite to the Cats, the Bombers are decimated by injury with 10 players already confirmed sidelined for the season. So there isn\u2019t a lot for coach Brad Scott to chose from in regards to healthy players. Forward Rhys Unwin impressed in the VFL last weekend with his 24 touches, five clearances, four tackles and a goal. Big man Vigo Visentini was the best of the rucks in the loss to the Swans VFL with 34 hitouts against the combo of Will Green and Aaron Francis. Disposal efficiency let Saad El-Hawli down in that contest, going at just 47%.<\/p>\n

Team Tips: Even for a young, developing Richmond side, last Saturday\u2019s output in its 84-point loss to Gold Coast simply wasn\u2019t acceptable, and changes will be made. First and foremost, first-year key forward Jonty Faull will go out of the side after his left knee was landed on in a marking contest, with veteran spearhead Tom Lynch primed to return after serving his five-game suspension in a timely boost to the Tigers\u2019 forward structure. Tim Taranto and Nathan Broad should both come back into the side, provided there\u2019s no setbacks with Taranto\u2019s calf. Noah Balta was swung back after Faull\u2019s injury after starting the game forward, and there\u2019s every chance he could be deployed back in defence this Saturday with the side regaining the experienced Lynch, and with Tylar Young among Richmond\u2019s lowest-rated players against the Suns. Elsewhere, the hope was that Josh Smillie would suit up for the VFL side, which also travelled north last weekend, but the No.7 draft pick continues to be kept out of match action as the club remains careful in its conditioning of the big-bodied ball-getter. Josh Gibcus had 14 disposals and three marks as the luckless key defender continues in his bid to get some senior match time before the season\u2019s up. Draft prospect Sam Grlj suited up for the Tigers\u2019 VFL outfit and was among the top ball-getters with 18 possessions, six marks and five tackles. <\/p>\n

Team Tips: Forward Mitchito Owens is facing time on the sidelines after injuring his hamstring midway through Sunday\u2019s win. Club captain Jack Steele was oddly named the sub for the Roos game \u2014 and while coach Ross Lyon assured it was to keep him fresh after some soreness against Melbourne and he\u2019d play a full match in his 200th AFL games this Saturday against Richmond, it won\u2019t stop trade speculation. In the VFL, Darcy Wilson was prolific, totalling 37 disposals, 14 clearances and a goal to press his claim for a senior recall, while Paddy Dow added 28 possessions and 10 clearances as he plots an AFL return before the season\u2019s up. Mattaes Phillipou edged closer to a return from his plantaris injury with 23 disposals and a goal for the Zebras.<\/p>\n

Team Tips: In a massive blow to Chris Fagan\u2019s side after their epic MCG win over Collingwood, club co-captain Lachie Neale will miss the rest of the home-and-away season with a quad tear. The Lions are hopeful he\u2019ll be fit for their first final. Reliable veteran defender Ryan Lester is in concussion protocols after an incident against the Pies and will miss Saturday\u2019s meeting with the Swans. Bruce Reville was the sub last Saturday and should come into the starting 22, while Darragh Joyce was an emergency last week if Fagan opts for some defensive depth. Henry Smith was very impressive against Collingwood with three goals, and there\u2019s every chance he continues to keep the likes of Sam Day \u2014 an emergency last week \u2014 and Oscar McInerney, managed, out of the senior lineup. Day put 23 hitouts with eight possessions in the VFL. It\u2019s hard to see many, if any, unforced changes from Fagan\u2019s match committee as the Lions continue their push for a top-two seed. Another emergency from Round 21 in James Tunstill could be the most likely replacement for Neale.<\/p>\n

Team Tips: Sydney remain hopeful Will Hayward will be available for selection after missing last week\u2019s win over Essendon. Haywood injured his calf mid-week, but coach Dean Cox believes the injury isn\u2019t serious. \u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s really severe,\u201d he said on Saturday. \u201cHe\u2019ll have to go through some testing to be available.\u201d Swans veteran Taylor Adams has pressed his case for a senior recall with a dominant display in the VFL. In his second match back, Taylor racked up a game-high 32 disposals, 12 clearances and slotted a goal. Despite coach Cox pledging to honour form, stating: \u201cWe\u2019ll make sure we reward the players that are playing good – at any level\u201d, Sydney\u2019s focus is on the future now that their 2025 season is over. And that\u2019s not the ideal case for 31-year-old Adams. Aaron Francis, who was an emergency for last week\u2019s win over the Bombers, kicked three goals in the VFL to press his claims. But with Cox praising young forward Jack Buller for \u201cdoing everything he possibly can to stay in the team\u201d, there may not be a spot for Francis.<\/p>\n

Team Tips: The Blues were gallant in defeat but again fell after leading at the main change. And adding injury to insult, promising first-year key defender Harry O\u2019Farrell\u2019s scans unfortunately revealed an ACL tear, joining fellow first-year Blue Jagga Smith on the sidelines. A watch will be on midfielder Adam Cerra after he missed the trip to Perth with knee soreness. Jaxon Binns and Jordan Boyd were the travelling emergencies last Sunday and could be in recall calculations, while Billy Wilson notched 25 disposals at VFL level. Against the Dockers, Will White (0.2) and Matt Carroll (1.7) were the Blues\u2019 lowest-rated players, per Champion Data\u2019s ratings, and could come under some selection heat. Hudson O\u2019Keeffe played at VFL level and had 11 disposals, a goal, four clearances and seven tackles after also being named an emergency for the Fremantle fixture. <\/p>\n

Team Tips: The Suns made it consecutive big wins, and perhaps most importantly, former skipper Touk Miller made a successful return from his hamstring injury; getting through unscathed before being tactically subbed out managed. Jed Walter, who remains out of the side after being dropped to the reserves a fortnight ago, kicked two goals from five scoring shots against the VFL Tigers, while veteran midfielder David Swallow led all ball-winners with 36 disposals in a bid to be recalled in a likely sub role. Uncontracted small forward Malcolm Rosas Jnr, who\u2019s attracting rival interest this year, kicked a game-high four goals and added 18 possessions and seven marks. In an unfortunate blow to a promising duo, Will Graham is set to miss the next few weeks after a hamstring strain in the VFL, while Category B rookie Zak Evans will miss the remainder of the season with a fractured thumb.<\/p>\n

Team Tips: Things are getting ugly late in Port Adelaide\u2019s season, with back-to-back near-100-point losses marring the latter part of Ken\u2019s final season. Skipper Connor Rozee should come back into the side after being a late out due to illness \u2014 replaced by Dylan Williams \u2014 with Jase Burgoyne the injury cost from the loss with a leg issue. Logan Evans also missed through illness. Jack Whitlock was very quiet in his debut match, managing three disposals in 77 per cent game time. Jack Lukosius is nearing a return from his calf injury but mightn\u2019t come into selection calculations for at least another week. Jeremy Finlayson kicked three goals from 17 disposals and seven marks in the SANFL, while Willie Rioli booted two majors from 14 touches. <\/p>\n

Team Tips: The Dockers survived a massive scare to get over the top of Carlton last Sunday, but in a big blow they\u2019ve again lost crucial midfielder Hayden Young to injury; subbed out at quarter-time with a groin injury. Justin Longmuir revealed on Fox Footy\u2019s AFL 360 on Monday that it\u2019s an adductor strain for Young, but he added that at this stage, he\u2019s only ruled out for this week. Sunday\u2019s sub, fringe ball-winner Neil Erasmus, could come into the starting 22 to provide more midfield depth. One of the key selection watches is on skipper Alex Pearce, who was afforded another week out as he prepares to return from a nagging shin injury. Meanwhile, out-of-favour midfielder Will Brodie continues to press for a long-awaited recall after being named an emergency last week, totalling 35 disposals for Peel Thunder at the weekend. Meanwhile, veteran Nat Fyfe is edging closer to a return to the senior outfit, having collected 27 disposals in the WAFL, and \u201ccomes into (selection) calculations this week\u201d. <\/p>\n

Team Tips: The injury loss to compound the Bulldogs belting was Toby McMullin, who has suffered a season-ending syndesmosis injury. And there\u2019s a cloud over spearhead forward Jesse Hogan, who limped to the bench in the dying stages with a foot injury, which is thought to be ongoing. Coming up against lowly North Melbourne this Sunday, there\u2019s every chance Adam Kingsley manages his attacking focal point to ensure his health come September. Max Gruzewski, an emergency last week, shapes as the likeliest replacement. But the key inclusion at selection this week is skipper Toby Greene, who will make a much-needed return from suspension against the Roos. James Leake, also an emergency for the Dogs game, posted 28 disposals and six clearances in the VFL and could come into calculations at match committee. But the Giants\u2019 demoralising Round 21 loss was an anomaly, if their form over the previous six weeks is any indication, and so there shouldn\u2019t be sweeping changes come Thursday night. <\/p>\n

Team Tips: Star ruckman Tristian Xerri is eligible to return from suspension in a desperately-needed boost to the North Melbourne engine room, but it\u2019s bad news for banged-up spearhead Nick Larkey. The All-Australian key forward has suffered a recurrence of the posterior cruciate ligament injury from a few weeks ago that kept him out of multiple games. He hurt himself midway through last Sunday\u2019s loss to the Saints, and while he returned to play out the match, looks in significant doubt to face the Giants. His replacement could be former mid-season draftee Geordie Payne, who bagged another six goals in the reserves \u2014 after a four-goal haul the week previous \u2014 to again press his claim for a senior spot after being in the extended squad for last Sunday\u2019s clash with St Kilda. Captain Jy Simpkin could put his hand up to return after missing the Saints bout with a knee injury, although his inclusion still isn\u2019t guaranteed. Elsewhere, mid-season draftee Zac Banch was subbed out of the Saints game with a ribs injury. <\/p>\n

Xavier Lindsay was managed for the West Coast game and could return, but Jai Culley was impressive in his debut, highlighted by a high-flying mark and goal against his former club \u2014 totalling 13 disposals, seven marks, two goals and five score involvements. Steven May will spend one more week on the sidelines before returning from suspension. Casey had a bye last weekend, but key-position prospect Jed Adams is edging closer to a debut. <\/p>\n

Team Tips: It\u2019s almost impossible to pick many faults out of an 88-point win over a finals contender, so don\u2019t expect many, if any, unforced change at selection this week ahead of a favourable matchup against the Demons \u2014 especially given the Dogs were unchanged going into the GWS game and didn\u2019t pick up any injuries from it. Adam Treloar could put his hand up in the coming weeks as he continues to rehabilitate his latest calf ailment, though you\u2019d have to think he\u2019s more unlikely than likely at this point to feature again this season. At VFL level, Nick Coffield posted 25 disposals and 10 marks, while the demoted Sam Davidson was an emergency last Thursday night and had 14 possessions in the reserves. Swingman Buku Khamis, also an emergency last week, kicked two goals for Footscray. <\/p>\n

Team Tips: Another heavy defeat for West Coast on a day it would\u2019ve come in thinking it was half a chance to cause an upset, with 10 Eagles finishing with six or fewer rating points at Marvel Stadium. Tyrell Dewar was tactically subbed out after finishing as one of those lowly-rated players, with Hamish Davis recording four disposals in 22 per cent match time once he came on as the sub. Ruckman Matt Flynn responded to his omission by leading all ball-getters at WAFL level with 24 disposals, 30 hitouts and four inside-50s. He could come back into calculations after being named an emergency last week, with Jack Petruccelle and Loch Rawlinson the travelling emergencies for the Demons game. Promisingly, Campbell Chesser had 17 disposals and five score involvements in his first AFL game since Round 24 last year. Andrew McQualter made four changes for the Melbourne game including three omissions, so it\u2019ll be interesting to see how hard he goes at the selection table this Thursday. <\/p>\n

Team Tips: After a rousing comeback win over Hawthorn to claim top spot on the ladder, the Crows could rest one or two against the Eagles this Sunday as the jostling for top-four seeding intensifies. Veteran Rory Laird could be recalled for the Perth trip after being managed last weekend, and his good mate Taylor Walker is among those who could be managed this Sunday, with forwards Chris Burgess \u2014 who booted three goals in the SANFL \u2014 and Luke Pedlar among last Friday night\u2019s emergencies. Hugh Bond performed well filling the Max Michalanney medium-sized shutdown defender void. Zac Taylor finished as Adelaide\u2019s lowest-rated player last Friday and could come under some selection heat. Veteran midfielder Matt Crouch could be recalled amid positive SANFL form, having gathered 33 possessions, five clearances and eight tackles in the reserves at the weekend.
