Veteran Taylor Walker is also pushing to return from a hamstring injury and conceded this week that he could be overlooked at selection with Toby Murray performing well. Callum Ah Chee is available after overcoming hamstring issues and would be a timely replacement for Cumming, but time in the SANFL to build continuity would also benefit the dual premiership Lion. Mitch Hinge is available after recovering from a hamstring injury. Young midfielder Sid Draper will meet an oral surgeon this week after undergoing surgery for a broken jaw, with a timeline for his return to be determined. \u2013 Nathan Schmook<\/p>\n<p>PLAYER<br \/>\nINJURY<br \/>\nESTIMATED RETURN<\/p>\n<p>Oscar Allen<br \/>\nFoot<br \/>\n8-10 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Dan Annable<br \/>\nShoulder<br \/>\n10-12 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Noah Answerth<br \/>\nConcussion<br \/>\n1 week<\/p>\n<p>Jarrod Berry<br \/>\nCalf<br \/>\nTest<\/p>\n<p>Ty Gallop<br \/>\nHamstring<br \/>\nTest<\/p>\n<p>Eric Hipwood<br \/>\nKnee<br \/>\n3 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Lincoln McCarthy<br \/>\nHamstring<br \/>\n3 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Jack Payne<br \/>\nKnee<br \/>\nTBC<\/p>\n<p>Henry Smith<br \/>\nFoot<br \/>\n5-6 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Reece Torrent<br \/>\nAnkle<br \/>\n6-8 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Dayne Zorko<br \/>\nSoreness<br \/>\nTest<\/p>\n<p>Updated: May 19, 2026<\/p>\n<p>In the mix<\/p>\n<p>The cavalry could be back for the Lions as they face Greater Western Sydney on Sunday. Zorko should return, while Gallop is likely to join him. Berry is still a little iffy, but listed as a test and whether it&#8217;s two or three inclusions, Brisbane looks stronger with those faces back. Zorko&#8217;s return would likely come at the expense of Jimmy Tunstill, with Cody Curtin to make way for Gallop and either Sam Marshall or Conor McKenna on the fringe with any further changes. &#8211; Michael Whiting<\/p>\n<p>PLAYER<br \/>\nINJURY<br \/>\nESTIMATED RETURN<\/p>\n<p>Lucas Camporeale<br \/>\nKidney<br \/>\nTBC<\/p>\n<p>Ollie Hollands<br \/>\nAnkle<br \/>\n3-4 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Cooper Lord<br \/>\nConcussion<br \/>\n1-2 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Rob Monahan<br \/>\nShoulder<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Jesse Motlop<br \/>\nKnee<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Harry O&#8217;Farrell<br \/>\nKnee<br \/>\nTBC<\/p>\n<p>Adam Saad<br \/>\nHamstring<br \/>\nTest<\/p>\n<p>Updated: May 19, 2026<\/p>\n<p>In the mix<\/p>\n<p>The Blues will be without Ollie Hollands for much of the next month, though Saad could replace him for Saturday night&#8217;s clash against the Power if he makes it through a fitness test later this week. Blake Acres (34 disposals, one goal) could also come back into contention on the wing after a strong recent run in the VFL, while Flynn Young was the carryover emergency at AFL level last week. Forward pair Ashton Moir (12 disposals, four goals) and Talor Byrne (13 disposals, three goals) were also among the best in the VFL, while father-son Ben Camporeale (31 disposals, six clearances) was solid and should get an opportunity at some point in the back half of the season. \u2013 Riley Beveridge<\/p>\n<p>PLAYER<br \/>\nINJURY<br \/>\nESTIMATED RETURN<\/p>\n<p>Joel Cochran<br \/>\nAC joint<br \/>\n2-4 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Pat Lipinski<br \/>\nConcussion<br \/>\nTest<\/p>\n<p>Reef McInnes<br \/>\nKnee<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Tim Membrey<br \/>\nHamstring<br \/>\nTest<\/p>\n<p>Darcy Moore<br \/>\nConcussion<br \/>\nTest<\/p>\n<p>Harry Perryman<br \/>\nHamstring<br \/>\n2-3 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Oscar Steene<br \/>\nKnee<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Lachie Sullivan<br \/>\nConcussion<br \/>\nTest<\/p>\n<p>Updated: May 19, 2026<\/p>\n<p>In the mix<\/p>\n<p>Darcy Cameron trained fully on Tuesday and has been cleared to return against West Coast on Saturday in a significant boost for the Magpies after Steene tore his ACL against Sydney last Friday night.

Sam Swadling impressed again in the VFL with 39 touches to keep his hand up for a debut. \u2013 Josh Gabelich<\/p>\n<p>PLAYER<br \/>\nINJURY<br \/>\nESTIMATED RETURN<\/p>\n<p>Angus Clarke<br \/>\nFoot<br \/>\n2 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Saad El-Hawli<br \/>\nCollarbone<br \/>\n1 week<\/p>\n<p>Brayden Fiorini<br \/>\nBack<br \/>\nTBC<\/p>\n<p>Lewis Hayes<br \/>\nKnee<br \/>\n1 week<\/p>\n<p>Zak Johnson<br \/>\nFoot<br \/>\nTBC<\/p>\n<p>Isaac Kako<br \/>\nBack<br \/>\n5 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Nic Martin<br \/>\nKnee<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Liam McMahon<br \/>\nAnkle<br \/>\n3-5 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Jordan Ridley<br \/>\nCalf<br \/>\n1 week<\/p>\n<p>Dyson Sharp<br \/>\nShoulder<br \/>\n4-5 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Rhys Unwin<br \/>\nHamstring<br \/>\n4-6 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Peter Wright<br \/>\nKnee<br \/>\nTBC<\/p>\n<p>Updated: May 19, 2026<\/p>\n<p>In the mix<\/p>\n<p>The Bombers have been dealt another injury blow with Wright sidelined ahead of the Dreamtime at the &#8216;G clash against Richmond. Essendon had a bye in the VFL, but desperately need to add some ground-level options up forward, with Jade Gresham and Hussien El Achkar having pushed their case at state league level. Elijah Tsatas and Harrison Jones were also good in the VFL last time out. The Bombers may need ruck reinforcements in Wright&#8217;s absence if Nick Bryan isn&#8217;t ready for more game time yet, with Lachie Blakiston moving from defence, opening the door for a Ben McKay recall, or Vigo Visentini coming in, options, while Tom Edwards could bolster the forward line. \u2013 Dejan Kalinic<\/p>\n<p>PLAYER<br \/>\nINJURY<br \/>\nESTIMATED RETURN<\/p>\n<p>Sean Darcy<br \/>\nCalf<br \/>\n1-2 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Jaeger O&#8217;Meara<br \/>\nFace<br \/>\nTest<\/p>\n<p>Alex Pearce<br \/>\nKnee<br \/>\n1-2 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Sam Sturt<br \/>\nKnee\/quad<br \/>\n5-6 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Corey Wagner<br \/>\nAdductor<br \/>\nTest<\/p>\n<p>Brandon Walker<br \/>\nConcussion<br \/>\nTBC<\/p>\n<p>Hayden Young<br \/>\nConcussion<br \/>\n1 week<\/p>\n<p>Updated: May 19, 2026<\/p>\n<p>In the mix<\/p>\n<p>Wagner was a key player in this Freo team before his injury and should come straight back in if cleared, with the midfielder completing a solid session over the weekend and poised to join main training on Wednesday. O&#8217;Meara is less certain given he has missed five matches, with the experienced midfielder training with a face guard. Bailey Banfield and Cooper Simpson are depth options in defence if changes are made, while wingman-turned-inside midfielder Jeremy Sharp produced terrific WAFL form before last week&#8217;s general state-league bye. \u2013 Nathan Schmook<\/p>\n<p>PLAYER<br \/>\nINJURY<br \/>\nESTIMATED RETURN<\/p>\n<p>Harley Barker<br \/>\nKnee<br \/>\nIndefinite<\/p>\n<p>Jhye Clark<br \/>\nConcussion<br \/>\nTBC<\/p>\n<p>Toby Conway<br \/>\nFoot\/Knee<br \/>\nTBC<\/p>\n<p>Keighton Matofai-Forbes<br \/>\nFoot<br \/>\n3 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Jay Polkinghorne<br \/>\nFoot<br \/>\n2-3 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Tyson Stengle<br \/>\nConditioning<br \/>\nIndividualised program<\/p>\n<p>Updated: May 19, 2026<\/p>\n<p>In the mix<\/p>\n<p>Jake Kolodjashnij and James Worpel are set to return after being rested against the Lions. Meanwhile, Clark continues to progress through concussion protocols following a training incident two weeks ago, with the club monitoring his availability. Jack Bowes made a strong case for an immediate recall following his omission from the Grand Final rematch. Bowes dominated Geelong&#8217;s VFL clash with 40 disposals, seven clearances, and two goals. In further good news, Jacob Molier successfully returned from a hamstring injury, collecting 10 disposals. &#8211; Emily Patterson<\/p>\n<p>PLAYER<br \/>\nINJURY<br \/>\nESTIMATED RETURN<\/p>\n<p>Alex Davies<br \/>\nFoot<br \/>\nTBC<\/p>\n<p>Jy Farrar<br \/>\nAnkle<br \/>\n6+ weeks<\/p>\n<p>Will Graham<br \/>\nConcussion<br \/>\nTBC<\/p>\n<p>Elliott Himmelberg<br \/>\nKnee<br \/>\n4-6 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Ben Long<br \/>\nAnkle<br \/>\nTest<\/p>\n<p>Ethan Read<br \/>\nKnee<br \/>\n4-6 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Jake Rogers<br \/>\nHamstring<br \/>\n1-3 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Jamarra Ugle-Hagan<br \/>\nAnkle<br \/>\n1-3 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Lachie Weller<br \/>\nHamstring<br \/>\n1-3 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Updated: May 19, 2026<\/p>\n<p>In the mix<\/p>\n<p>Sam Clohesy is available after serving a two-match suspension, and he\u2019d appear to be the perfect replacement for Weller. Long did some run-throughs at training on Tuesday in a sign his ankle is vastly improved from last week, although he\u2019ll need to complete main training on Thursday to fill the vacancy left by Graham. Beau Addinsall and Jai Murray continue to impress in the VFL and could be in line for a debut if Long doesn\u2019t get up. &#8211; Michael Whiting<\/p>\n<p>PLAYER<br \/>\nINJURY<br \/>\nESTIMATED RETURN<\/p>\n<p>Leek Aleer<br \/>\nAnkle<br \/>\n2 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Cody Angove<br \/>\nHand<br \/>\n3 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Ryan Angwin<br \/>\nConcussion<br \/>\nTest<\/p>\n<p>Jack Buckley<br \/>\nHamstring<br \/>\nTest<\/p>\n<p>Tom Green<br \/>\nKnee<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Jesse Hogan<br \/>\nHip<br \/>\n1-3 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Darcy Jones<br \/>\nKnee<br \/>\n4-5 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Josh Kelly<br \/>\nHip<br \/>\nTBC<\/p>\n<p>Nick Madden<br \/>\nKnee<br \/>\n5-8 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Xavier O&#8217;Halloran<br \/>\nAnkle<br \/>\n6-8 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Harry Rowston<br \/>\nIllness<br \/>\nTest<\/p>\n<p>Logan Smith<br \/>\nKnee<br \/>\nTBC<\/p>\n<p>Sam Taylor<br \/>\nHamstring<br \/>\n1-2 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Nathan Wardius<br \/>\nKnee<br \/>\nTBC<\/p>\n<p>Updated: May 19, 2026<\/p>\n<p>In the mix<\/p>\n<p>Hogan has begun a reconditioning block for a hip pointer injury, sidelining him for the next one to three weeks, while a 6\u20138-week timeline has been set for O\u2019Halloran following his syndesmosis surgery. Angwin is also back on the injury list after fracturing a knuckle in Sunday&#8217;s loss to the Eagles. In better news, Angove is a test to play his first game of the season after recovering from a hamstring injury, with Rowston (knee infection) and Buckley (hamstring) also facing fitness tests to return. Meanwhile, Ollie Hannaford responded strongly to his omission, racking up 24 disposals, five clearances, and three goals in the VFL. &#8211; Emily Patterson<\/p>\n<p>PLAYER<br \/>\nINJURY<br \/>\nESTIMATED RETURN<\/p>\n<p>Tom Barrass<br \/>\nHamstring<br \/>\n2-4 weeks<\/p>\n<p>James Blanck<br \/>\nHamstring<br \/>\n4 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Jack Gunston<br \/>\nFoot<br \/>\nTest<\/p>\n<p>Jack Scrimshaw<br \/>\nKnee<br \/>\nTBC<\/p>\n<p>Updated: May 19, 2026<\/p>\n<p>In the mix<\/p>\n<p>Will Day will play in the VFL on Friday night against Williamstown in his first game since not just the shoulder reconstruction in January, but the third bone stress issue in his foot back in August last year. Mabior Chol will return against Adelaide in Launceston on Thursday night, alongside Conor Nash, but Gunston didn\u2019t train on Tuesday and is in doubt. Cam Nairn will make his debut for the Hawks after a strong block at Box Hill. Scrimshaw and Jarman Impey both trained away from the main group after injury concerns last week. &#8211; Josh Gabelich<\/p>\n<p>PLAYER<br \/>\nINJURY<br \/>\nESTIMATED RETURN<\/p>\n<p>Jed Adams<br \/>\nKnee<br \/>\n6-8 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Jai Culley<br \/>\nKnee<br \/>\nSeason<\/p>\n<p>Aidan Johnson<br \/>\nHip\/groin<br \/>\n1-2 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Xavier Lindsay<br \/>\nHip\/groin<br \/>\n4-6 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Shane McAdam<br \/>\nAchilles<br \/>\nTBC<\/p>\n<p>Jake Melksham<br \/>\nAnkle<br \/>\nTest<\/p>\n<p>Brody Mihocek<br \/>\nHamstring<br \/>\n1-2 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Christian Salem<br \/>\nFoot<br \/>\n4-6 weeks<\/p>\n<p>Jack Viney<br \/>\nAchilles<br \/>\nTBC<\/p>\n<p>Caleb Windsor<br \/>\nToe<br \/>\nTest<\/p>\n<p>Updated: May 19, 2026<\/p>\n<p>In the mix<\/p>\n<p>A pair of key Demons have had unfortunate setbacks, with Lindsay and Salem both now expected to be sidelined until after the Demons&#8217; bye in round 16. Salem is still managing a foot fracture and is progressing slowly despite scans showing healing, while Lindsay has also been unable to step up to high-intensity running and agility work. Meanwhile, young defender Adams suffered a PCL injury at training and while he doesn&#8217;t require surgery, he still faces a lengthy stint on the sideline. In better news, the Dees could have a double boost to face the Dogs, with both Melksham and Windsor pushing to return pending fitness tests later in the week.

Mykelti Lefau is available after a week of management, but Gray will come out of the 23 with a \u201chigh-grade\u201d hamstring strain. Alger is more likely than Sims to come into the AFL side if needed, given the surprising depth of key forwards, and the latter\u2019s lengthy lay-off dating back to last season.
