Collingwood - Jamie Elliott
Missed the Anzac Day win over Essendon due to a corked buttock suffered in the previous week's victory over the Brisbane Lions at the Gabba. Looms as a likely inclusion if he can prove his fitness on the track in the main training session on Wednesday.


Port - ROBBIE GRAY was the only injury concern from Port Adelaide’s 16-point victory over North Melbourne on Friday night.Gray had successful surgery on Sunday and is expected to miss a month of football.
Tom Jonas was a late withdrawal from the clash with the Kangaroos and will also miss this week’s game against Collingwood as he continues to recover from a calf complaint.

Melbourne - Get them in: Melbourne will make at least one change with co-captain Jack Viney (shoulder) already ruled out. Declan Keilty has been around the mark for several weeks and two goals in the VFL again has him well in the frame again.

Hawthorn - Hawthorn midfielder James Cousins is set to miss Hawthorn’s Round 7 clash with Melbourne, after being handed a one-match suspension for striking Carlton’s Sam Petrevski-Seton.

GWS - Co-captain Phil Davis could be a chance to face St Kilda after being a late withdrawal against Sydney with an ankle injury. Jackson Hately, Isaac Cumming and Nick Shipley have been in great touch in the NEAFL.

St Kilda - After an impressive outing against Melbourne, Dean Kent struggled in the loss to Adelaide. Billy Longer took some nice marks around the ground but probably lost his ruck battle to Reilly O'Brien.

Brisbane - The NEAFL team is four from four and plenty of players are mounting strong cases. Ben Keays kicked another four goals in a strong performance, while untried duo Toby Wooller and Corey Lyons again showed they're ready for a call-up.

Sydney - Superstar forward Lance Franklin was a late out last week with a minor hamstring issue, and has been ruled out of the trip to Brisbane this week. Robbie Fox (37 possessions and three goals) and Colin O'Riordan (40 disposals and 12 marks) dominated the NEAFL last week to keep the pressure on the selectors.

Bulldogs - Last season's leading goalkicker Billy Gowers had nine touches at the Bulldogs' lowest efficiency (55.6 per cent) on the ground and hasn't kicked multiple goals in a game since round two.

Richmond - Jack Riewoldt's luck this season has gone from bad to worse, returning from a wrist injury only to injure his knee. He's facing 6-8 weeks on the sidelines. Full-back David Astbury will need to get through training this week after rolling his ankle against Melbourne.

West Coast - Expect Jake Waterman to earn a recall after booting 13 goals in three WAFL appearances, Matthew Allen has to be close to a debut after averaging 23 disposals, while Brendon Ah Chee and Jackson Nelson could add some grunt.

Gold Coast - After another three goals in the NEAFL, experienced forward Sam Day is demanding a spot. Aaron Young had 40 disposals and nine tackles at the lower level

Carlton - The Blues will hope Charlie Curnow recovers from a knee problem, while injuries to key half-backs could put a few fringe defenders in the frame. Matthew Kennedy was again good for the Northern Blues, while Andrew Phillips will be on standby. Will Setterfield returns from a two-week suspension.


North - Jy Simpkin and Paul Ahern made compelling cases for instant AFL recalls, with 33 disposals apiece in the VFL. Taylor Garner continues to build his fitness, and laid five tackles at the weekend. Key defender Ben McKay might come into calculations because of Carlton's tall forward line if he's passed fit.

Geelong - Chris Scott flagged Jordan Clark's return from his rest but dropping someone from the No.1 defence will provide a headache.

Essendon - Small defender Ben McNiece was best afield at VFL level but the Bombers aren't short for options in that area. Kyle Langford (25 disposals) and Dylan Clarke (24) keep pressing for midfield spots, while gun forward Orazio Fantasia is expected to be available after being ruled out last week with illness.

Collingwood to be too good under the roof

GWS to enjoy a practice match
Brisbane with not a lot of confidence. They took all day to get control in Q clash
Richmond even without Jack, I think can win.
West coast have been deplorable the last fortnight. In greyhound terms, this will be a live kill
Carlton....if they play like they did against the hawks for 3 qtrs they will win. Roos are a rabble
Cats by plenty. Essendon emotionally drained after being slaughtered by the umps...
Fraudmantle....travelling better than the budgies at the minute.

Adelaide - Bryce Gibbs should be available after missing last weekend's win over St Kilda with a virus. The leg speed of Chayce Jones – last week's travelling emergency – will be handy against a quick Fremantle side on Sunday. Has key forward Josh Jenkins done enough to earn a recall?

Fremantle - The Dockers believed Connor Blakely was ready if needed against the Bulldogs and the versatile young gun should be back after picking up 20 touches in his WAFL return from a long-term hamstring.

We might go into this favourites, which scares the crap out of me. No Newman, Kruezer and Simpson this week evens things up.

Not if your basing it on sound reasoning, such as you have a feeling or you had a dream they would win.

Not as crazy as the Hawks knocking off the Crows in round 1.
1961, 1971, 1976, 1978, 1983, 1986, 1988, 1989, 1991, 2008, 2013, 2014, 2015.... And don't you forget it!

I think Whitfield and maybe Coniglio will be out for GWS as well.
