The new AFL season has settled in, but unfortunately, so have the injuries.
A bevy of soft-tissue injuries and unfortunate incidents have placed the new rules and interpretations in the gun, with players feeling the heat for the increased velocity of any given match.
Here's all the latest injury news from across the AFL...
Power out
Port Adelaide is set to be without captain Connor Rozee for an extended period after succumbing to a serious hamstring injury that confirmed a tendon rupture, which will likely require surgery.
A timeline has yet to be revealed on his return, but could miss around 10 weeks.
Miles Bergman is still a chance to play next week despite an ankle injury in Sunday's win over Essendon.
Scans showed a sprain to the medial ankle, and bruising of the heel.
Richmond count cost as injury toll mounts
Captain Toby Nankervis and Tom Lynch will miss an extended period of football after the pair suffered hamstring injuries in the loss to Gold Coast.
Nankervis will miss 6-8 weeks, while Lynch falls narrowly in front, with his timeline around 4-5 weeks.
"Toby Nankervis is probably the most serious out of them all," Richmond High Performance Manager Ben Serpell said.
"It was a contact injury, similar to the mechanism that Harry Armstrong sustained a hamstring injury with last year, but nowhere near as bad, thankfully.
"Unfortunately, that's going to see him on the sidelines for six to eight weeks.
"It's not as serious as Toby Nankervis. Nevertheless, he'll still sit out for four to five weeks."
Nathan Broad is out for Round 3 with a minor calf injury.
It is timely for the Tigers given Samson Ryan has been ticked off from a foot injury.
"Samson's got through his rehab at this stage, and we're expecting him to have a little bit of game time this weekend," Serpell said.
"We'll let the coaches make their decision on what level he plays at this weekend."
Bomber blow as leader set for surgery
Essendon's Mason Redman will gave surgery in the coming days on a torn meniscus he sustained during Sunday's loss to Port Adelaide.
"Whilst Mason's injury is unfortunate for both him and our team, as a member of our Player Leadership Group, he'll continue to be a strong presence around the playing group during his recovery," General Manager of Football Daniel McPherson said.
"It is a frustrating setback but 'Red' is as tough as they come, and we know he will attack his rehab with his usual professionalism and commitment.
"We all look forward to seeing him back out there once he's fully recovered."
Crows recruit downed
Adelaide forward Callum Ah Chee will miss at least six weeks with a hamstring injury he suffered in Friday's loss to the Western Bulldogs.
It was a high-grade strain when attempting to lunge for a spoil.
Veteran Rory Laird will miss 1-2 weeks with a minor calf strain, as defender Josh Worrell will be monitored after playing through a calf issue.
