Talia, Keath and Gallucci are in doubt for Saturday night's clash with Gold Coast at Metricon Stadium. Talia injured his ankle in a marking contest in the Crows' 57-point loss to Port Adelaide, but finished the game. Keath was also able to return to play after sustaining bone bruising and swelling to his left knee in an aerial contest. Both will be tested at Thursday's main training session. Gallucci was concussed in the second quarter and has shown positive signs of improvement early this week. Lynch will miss another two weeks with his calf injury taking longer to heal than first expected. He injured his calf in the warm-up of the round 12 game against Greater Western Sydney. Ellis-Yolmen is still struggling with a low-level stress reaction to his right fibula. Poholke will miss three weeks with a calf tendon injury suffered in the Crows' round 11 SANFL game against Sturt on June 29. - Lee Gaskin

Hipwood is the major concern ahead of Sunday's away game against Port Adelaide. His right knee had a huge brace on it at Tuesday's training session. He'll be given every chance to play but has to be in serious doubt. - Michael Whiting 

The Blues expect Cripps and McKay to return on Saturday, though Cuningham is another week away due to a knee problem. Marchbank will miss the remainder of the season with a neck injury, but the club expects Weitering to play despite a broken nose. - Riley Beveridge

Experienced quartet Adams and Greenwood hope to return for the clash with reigning premier West Coast in Perth, while Thomas and Goldsackalso face fitness tests. Howe is at least another week away and Reid will miss multiple weeks. Langdon is making inroads, Murphy's recovery has also been slow and Kelly is also some time away. Stephenson will be available at finals time while Wells will race the clock to return before season's end. But the campaign seems over for veterans Dunn and Beams, with the latter now taking indefinite leave to deal with his mental issues. - Ben Collins

Heppell (foot) and Hurley (hip) will have to pass tests before playing North Melbourne on Saturday. Hurley has been managing hip issues for several years but required a scan this week and the Bombers are "hopeful" he will be available. Heppell seems more touch-and-go after missing last week's win over Sydney. Youngster Mutch is back on the injury list after suffering a fractured kneecap at VFL level and is expected to have an extended stint on the sidelines. - Callum Twomey

Hogan was back running last weekend, three weeks after going down with a mid-foot sprain and the Dockers will hope he can get back soon with their finals hopes fading fast. Hill completed sprint work close to top speed during training last week and won't be far away from his latest attempted comeback, which might even be against Hawthorn in Launceston this Saturday. Cox apparently missed the Western Derby with a hip complaint. - Travis King

No confirmation on Powell's injury yet, but following Saturday's loss to Richmond, coach Stuart Dew conceded the young wingman would likely miss the rest of the season. Ainsworth and Bowes are now only a fortnight away from returning. - Michael Whiting

Kelly is a massive loss after coming off in the final term against Brisbane on Sunday, but the good news for the Giants is the likely availability of Coniglio, Whitfield and Mumford against Richmond. Keeffe is also a chance to be available after recovering from a broken hand. - Adam Curley

Scrimshaw needs only to get through training to play at AFL or VFL level this weekend after last playing on May 25, while Wingard is also edging closer following four games out. Jiath was considered as much as a month away last week, but is back doing some training and could be back playing on Sunday. Moore's injury kept him out of Friday night's clash with Collingwood, but was only minor. Marc Pittonet (concussion) has missed the past fortnight, and another ruckman, Ned Reeves, was absent from the VFL last weekend as well. - Marc McGowan

Melbourne fans will once again be on "Gawn watch" after the star ruckman was a late withdrawal to face Carlton, failing to overcome a rolled ankle. Hore will face several weeks on the sidelines after breaking his collarbone, while McDonald's season is over after tearing his meniscus. In better news for the Demons, Jake Lever and Neville Jetta are closing in on returns after playing in the VFL. – Sarah Black

Majak Daw (pelvis/hips) played three separate stints in the first quarter of his VFL return on Sunday and an announcement is still to be made on whether he backs up this weekend. There were no major fresh injuries, although second-year defender Murphy's tough season continued with an ankle setback. Wood was off and on the ground with his quad complaint against the Saints, but completed the match and may not miss a game. Luke McDonald (shoulder) and Sam Durdin (calf) are fine. Higgins is edging closer to being back and Wilkinson could play his first match since April 20, but Tyson's season now seems in doubt. - Marc McGowan

Boak is expected to return for Sunday's crucial encounter against Brisbane at Adelaide Oval. The former captain was a late withdrawl from the Power side for last Saturday's Showdown win against Adelaide after he suffered back spasms in the warm-up. Cox lacerated his kidney during a contest in Port's 77-point win against West Adelaide in the SANFL, and he will be out in the short term. Grundy broke his finger in the same game, and will be assessed this week. - Lee Gaskin

All eyes will be on Riewoldt this week as he presses his case to make a return from his PCL injury, while Caddy is also a chance to come back. Balta picked up a minor quad injury in the VFL and will face a few weeks on the sidelines, while Nankervis is edging closer to a return. - Sarah Black

It's unlikely Hannebery will be right for Saturday night's clash with Geelong after reporting with hamstring awareness. Battle hurt his right knee, along with his hip, early on against North Melbourne. - Dinny Navaratnam

Cameron could be included to face Carlton this week if he can train strongly, while McVeigh is expected to be available, and is likely to play in the NEAFL.Franklinhas started running but is still at least three weeks away, whileNaismithis working hard on his conditioning, and could play in the final month of the year. The lucklessLinghurt his Achilles a couple of weeks ago but is expected back in the next month. - Adam Curley

Kennedy is expected to return for Friday night's home game against Collingwood, while Brander and Petruccelle both ran laps and got through a light skills session on Monday ahead of likely WAFL comebacks this Sunday against West Perth. - Travis King

Liberatore will resume full training this week and could return to the AFL sooner than expected after his knee  injury in round 13. Gowers will also rejoin the main group but might have to return via the VFL. Versatile tall Gardner hobbled off during the fourth quarter for Footscray after injuring his knee in a ruck contest. Mitch Wallis made a successful return in the VFL and is available for senior selection. - Josh Schonafinger
