With injury list Tuesday upon us, here's your one-stop page for all the latest club casualty ward updates as they come through.
Collingwood are set to regain as many as five key players for Friday night, while there's good and bad news for the Tigers.
Gold Coast could be without a young gun for their match against Fremantle as they look to continue their winning ways.
Here's all the latest injury news from across the AFL...
Dogs, Eagles and Power move players to inactive list
The Western Bulldogs have made small forward Cody Weightman inactive for the remainder of the season, moving their livewire attacker to the long-term injury list.
Weightman has been dealing with a knee injury for the season to date and has faced setbacks during his recovery, with the Bulldogs deciding to move him to the sidelined for the remainder of the year.
Port Adelaide have opened up a trio of list spots as well, with Xavier Walsh (shoulder), Todd Marshall (Achilles) and Tom Cochrane (foot) moved to the inactive list.
The manoeuvre means Marshall will miss the entire year after hurting his Achilles over the summer.
West Coasr have confirmed key forward Jake Waterman has been moved to the inactive list after suffering a serious shoulder injury over the weekend.
Waterman was unable to finish the loss to Adelaide after hurting his right shoulder in the final term of the match at Adelaide Oval, with coach Andrew McQualter expressing his fears of a lengthy setback for his spearhead.
On Tuesday the club revealed Waterman is set to miss the remaining rounds of their current campaign in what is a significant blow for the Western Australian side and their star forward.
Bombers confirm timelines for newly injured duo, tall wingman
Essendon have confirmed Zach Reid (hamstring) and Kyle Langford (quad) will miss 4-6 weeks with their fresh soft-tissue setbacks.
The double injury blow adds to an extensive injury list for the Bombers, who have confirmed wingman Harrison Jones will miss 4-5 more weeks with his ankle injury.
Second-year utility Saad El-Hawli will be sidelined for 4-6 weeks with his own hamstring concern, which was sustained in the VFL over the weekend.
As revealed earlier this week, defender Ben McKay will be sidelined with a foot injury and has no return timeframe.
Lions pair facing key session to be cleared
Brisbane duo Oscar McInerney and Keidean Coleman will be closely monitored at Wednesday's captain's run before a decision is made on their selection.
The duo have both been managed recently and are expected to face the Bombers on Thursday night at the Gabba.
The Lions will take a cautious approach with both players in their assessment, with a decision to rest them for Round 12 as well being a chance.
The next two weeks could also see Brandon Starcevich (concussion), Sam Day (hamstring) and Brandon Ryan (facial fracture) return to action.
Demon hit for six after big hit
Melbourne forward Charlie Spargo could miss up to six weeks after suffering a fracture to his scapula.
The Demons have confirmed the injury occurred from a collision over the weekend against Sydney but prior to an incident involving Swan Callum Mills that has since seen the midfielder suspended.
โCharles obviously had that hit, which then he was assessed for and passed that (concussion) assessment,โ Melbourne's Selwyn Griffith said.
โThe next day he actually presented with a sore shoulder and scans have actually shown that he's got a fracture to his shoulder blade (his scapula).
โIt occurred in an incident prior to that hit, but it just so happened that it occurred within a similar time frame.
โWe'll progress him as his function allows it and it's likely that he'll miss four to six weeks.โ
The Demons are hoping to have Jack Viney (concussion) back into full training on Friday, while defender Marty Hore is close to a return from a calf injury.
Pies set to swing changes
Collingwood will have Darcy Moore (shoulder) and Lachie Schultz (concussion) back from injury for Friday's game against Hawthorn, with three more senior Magpies also set to return.
Scott Pendlebury (illness), Steele Sidebottom (managed) and Bobby Hill (personal) will also return for the Hawks clash after missing the Round 11 win over North Melbourne.
The Magpies will be without Brayden Maynard for at least this week as he deals with a fresh foot concern, with Wil Parker, Oleg Markov and Will Hayes likely to make way also.
Young defender Tew Jiath is also listed as a test as he deals with a plantaris issue.
Andrew needing green light after ankle issue
Gold Coast young gun Mac Andrew has avoided significant damage after hurting his ankle over the weekend, with the tall defender only managing a sprain.
Andrew will still need to be assessed in the coming days to be cleared to play against Fremantle on Saturday.
โPleasingly, scan results have shown Mac suffered an ankle sprain with no significant damage,โ Suns physiotherapist Lindsay Bull said in an update.
โWe will continue to monitor how his ankle responds in the coming days before determining his availability for Saturday's match against Fremantle.โ
The Suns could have Lachie Weller (hamstring) and Jake Rogers (ankle) back in the coming weeks.
No.1 pick sidelined, skipper to return
Richmond's top draftee Sam Lalor will miss at least a month with a hamstring strain, while midfielder Thomson Dow is facing 6-8 weeks on the sidelines after suffering a dislocated kneecap in the loss to Essendon last Friday.
Both failed to finish the Dreamtime match with the injuries and will now spend periods out of action.
Richmond remain without premiership player Jayden Short for at least another week as he continues to nurse a calf injury.
It's not all bad news for the Tigers though, with captain Toby Nankervis to return after managing a knee concern, while key forward Tom Lynch is in the mix as he eyes an exit from concussion protocols.
Veteran midfielder Dion Prestia and defender Tylar Young had successful returns via the VFL over the weekend to make themselves available.
Crows father-son sidelined
Adelaide draftee Tyler Welsh will miss 3-5 weeks after suffering a fractured toe in the SANFL over the weekend.
The Crows are not yet sure whether surgery will be required as the best answer for the first-year forward's fresh setback.
โTyler Welsh injured his toe and has a fracture after a contest early in the SANFL game on the weekend,โ Crows high-performance boss Darren Burgess said.
โWe are not sure yet whether he'll need that operated on, he's seeing the surgeon tomorrow, but regardless he's looking at a period of three-to-five weeks away from playing.โ
Meanwhile, Crows veteran Matt Crouch (3-5 weeks, hip) and defender Nick Murray (1-2 weeks, knee) are closing in on returns.
Hawks quartet a test
Hawthorn have listed Luke Breust (back), Will McCabe (illness), Noah Mraz (concussion) and Ned Reeves (glute) as tests for Round 12 as they look to overcome separate issues.
Breust will be tested on the track this week in the lead-up to Friday's clash with Hawthorn, with Wednesday's main session critical.
If they are given the green light, McCabe, Mraz and Reeves are expected to suit up in the VFL.
First-year Hawk Matt Hill (1-2 weeks, ankle), key forward Mitch Lewis (4 week, knee) and midfielder Will Day (2-3 months, foot) remained sidelined.
