Ahead of AFLW Week 1, Greta Bodey and Mackenzie Eardley are both a chance to play against Carlton after suffering minor injuries.

High Performance Manager Aaron Kellett also shared details on Sophie Locke’s knee and Kristy Stratton’s hamstring and their timeline for a return to action.

Greta Bodey (Hand) – Test

“Greta’s just had a minor surgical clean out of a hand wound she sustained. It’s gone really well, the surgeon’s given the all clear that pending a couple of steps in training and progressions in training this week we anticipate she’s likely to play but we’ll make that decision later in the week.”

Mackenzie Eardley (Quad) – Test

“Mack sustained a really low-grade quad strain in the first quarter against Sydney in our practice match. She’s been managed through the first part of that return to play, she’s got a few hurdles to step through this week, we’re going to see how she progresses with that and then make a call later in the week on whether she’ll be available for Round 1 or if we hold off for Round 2.”

Sophie Locke (Knee) – 3 weeks

“It was a really nasty incident for Sophie, she had another body fall across her leg. She was very fortunate, she sustained a very, very, very minor tear of the ACL, some pretty significant bone bruising and that’s been the sort of thing that’s held her back. Fortunately, there was no major structural damage, she’s progressing well she’s resumed running and we anticipate that she’s going to be available somewhere between Round 3 an Round 4, pending sort of how well she steps through this next part of her return-to-play plan.”

Kristy Stratton (Hamstring) – 3-4 weeks

“Kristy had a very significant hamstring strain in one of our match sims, she’s progressing very well. The location of the injury was something we needed to be mindful of, so we’ll be carefully stepping her back through her return to play progressions, particularly as the back end of this process. But she’s progressing really well, she’s up to 90 percent of sprinting and we anticipate she’ll be on track again, somewhere between Round 3 and Round 4 at this stage.”
