The injury list is piling up for the Crows. Betts will miss at least a couple weeks, while Murphy and Mackayhave to pass fitness tests to face Sydney on Friday night. Mackay has been concussed twice in the past three games. Gibson has had a setback in his return from a hamstring injury, while Keath's ankle injury has taken longer to settle because of bone bruising. - Lee Gaskin

Still a pretty light injury list for the Lions with nothing new coming from their senior and reserves matches at the weekend. Rich is a chance, but highly unlikely, to return from his ankle ligament problem. He's missed three matches at the moment. - Michael Whiting 

Murphy, a late withdrawal from last Saturday night’s game after pulling up lame in the pre-match warm-up, had scans on Tuesday afternoon and has been ruled out for four weeks. Darcy Lang is ready to play his first game for the Blues after overcoming an ankle injury and Silvagni is edging close to selection. - Howard Kotton 

The improving Pies are excited by the possibility of regaining Moore, Adams, Elliott, Greenwood and Smithover the next fortnight. The club continues to monitor Kirby's heart issue. - Ben Collins

Brown was a late withdrawal with a calf strain last week, so will have to pass a test to be available to face the Pies on Anzac Day next week. Ambrose won't be available after accepting a one-game suspension for a dangerous tackle in the VFL, Colyer has stepped up his training as he looks to return from pre-season foot surgery, while Gleeson remains some way off being available. - Callum Twomey

Hill will miss a third consecutive match after nearly rupturing his ACL against Essendon in round two, but there is more promising news for Freo with Bennell rejoining main training and speedster Giro close to a comeback from his medial ligament issue. Logue and Spurr are back running after their respective foot and knee problems but still some way from playing comebacks, while Darcy is still in a brace after his PCL injury. - Travis King

Ainsworth will be tested on Wednesday and then Friday to assess whether he has overcome concussion and can take on the Lions or not. Wright is getting closer to a return, although the Suns have thought that for the past month – the calf problem lingers on. - Michael Whiting

Kelly and Lobb will need a strong showing at Wednesday's main session but coach Leon Cameron isn't likely to take any risks with his star midfielder and ruckman. Langdon is ahead of schedule and could be a surprise inclusion against St Kilda. - Adam Curley

Puopolo and Rioli won’t play for a while, although Puopolo’s injury looked even worse at the time. Schoenmakers shapes as an important inclusion, while the good news story is that Ceglar will be back for the first time in 20 months this weekend. Burgoyne’s return in a week offsets the Rioli and Puopolo absences to a degree. It was a fair effort by Frawley to come back late in the game after a migraine. - Ashley Browne

Lewis will be sidelined for up to a fortnight after it emerged he sustained a fracture in his hand against the Hawks. Jetta will be tested later in the week to determine his availability for the game with the Tigers after he rolled his ankle on Sunday. McDonald could be available to play as soon as round six, while Viney should return in the next month. – Ben Guthrie

Injury-prone forward Garner looks set to finally make his season debut this weekend, albeit in the VFL, after battling hip and groin issues. Draftee Hayden will join Garner in state league ranks, barring a setback. McDonald is expected to play, while nothing serious showed up in mid-week scans on Wood's wrist. - Marc McGowan 

Rockliff and Marshall are in doubt for Saturday night's clash with Geelong at Adelaide Oval. Broadbent, Drewand Hewett have all been sidelined since the start of the season. - Lee Gaskin 

This is an embarrassingly short injury list for the premiers. Graham will miss this week after being suspended for striking Dayne Zorko, but Rioli is their only unavailable player due to injury and even he is moving closer to playing at VFL level after a lengthy recovery from the foot he broke during the Grand Final. There still isn't an official date set for his return to the field, but insiders are cautiously hopeful he'll play VFL in the next 2-3 weeks. Dion Prestia returned from his hamstring/glute issues against Brisbane and has pulled up well. He's expected to be available for Anzac Day Eve, while Nathan Broad remains in contention after his club suspension finished in round three. - Jennifer Phelan

Roberton could be out for a while after suffering an irregular heartbeat against Geelong last Sunday. He's hopeful of returning to training next week but his coach Alan Richardson isn't as optimistic, with a no-risk approach to be taken. Membrey trained fully on Tuesday and the Saints are optimistic he will be fit to face Greater Western Sydney while Webster will be back either this week or next week. Stevens will be out for a while as he deals with delayed onset concussion. - Dinny Navaratnam

Reid has surgery last week to fix the damage to his quad tendon, but it he's still expected to be fit to play in the next two months. Dawson ran at the SCG on Monday but the Swans forward is still some time away from returning to the field, while Johnson is in the same boat after he experienced some more soreness in his groin. - Adam Curley 

The Eagles have confirmed Venables will be out for up to three months and now they are sweating on Shuey, Redden and Sheppard's fitness for the trip to take on Carlton at the MCG. Shuey failed to train on Monday, while Redden and Sheppard, who has copped hits to the same quad in consecutive weeks, did little more than stationary handball work. Ah Chee and Allen (shin) are expected to play at East Perth but big man Vardymight be another week away. - Travis King

The Dogs will be hoping versatile big man Trengove (shoulder) will pass fitness tests for the trip west to play Fremantle. Former Lion Schache (ankle) could also be available but is very likely to play at VFL level again. Running defender Lynch's horror run with hamstring injuries has continued, with the West Australian to miss up to nine weeks with his latest mishap. – Ryan Davidson
