“Caleb has been managing a big toe ligament sprain he sustained in our Round 9 game against West Coast,” Richardson said. “Given we have a five-day break, Caleb will be managed for this week’s game against Essendon. “He is a young player, and we want to ensure we are setting him up well for the remainder of the season.”

“Aidan completed full training last week and the plan is for him to full train this week,” Griffith said. “The hope is for him to return to football via the VFL, on modified minutes.”

“Christian has integrated into main training and has been in a two-week intensive training block, which will continue into our bye week,” Griffith said. “Following the bye, we’ll look to have him available for selection.”

“Right at the end of the game, Harrison went for a lunging tackle and experienced some hamstring soreness. “Scans have confirmed that he sustained a low-grade hamstring strain. With the bye coming up, we’ll be working diligently with Harrison on his reconditioning plan, and hopefully we’ll see him return following the bye.”

“Jed has returned to high-speed running and some controlled reconditioning skills, taking positive steps forward from that PCL injury,” Griffith said. “He’ll continue to work through non-contact skill progressions and then we’ll look to ramp up his contact training following the bye.”

“During the game, Lukas experienced contact to his face in a contest, and unfortunately imaging has shown that he sustained a facial fracture,” Griffith said. “He underwent surgery today, which went well and now he’s in recovery. Our initial timeline is that he’ll likely miss four weeks, but we’ll assess further as he recovers from that surgery."

“Jack has been working incredibly hard with our high performance and medical team to return from his Achilles surgery that he had earlier this year,” Griffith said. “Unfortunately, while working through his rehab from that surgery, Jack has also had a lower back concern, which is something that he’s managed over the last couple of seasons. “As a result of that lower back pain, he’s been progressing slower through his post-surgery rehab program. “Pleasingly, he has been able to progress from a strength and movement perspective through his lower back, which has now allowed him to continue through his Achilles rehab. “Jack has worked incredibly hard to get on top of both of these injuries and it’s really pleasing that he’s now starting to see some progression, with the hope to see more soon.”

“You never want to see an incident in our game, like what we saw with Brody on Monday,” Richardson said. “Brody is in the very best of care and was able to undergo surgery last night, which, thankfully, went as planned. “Our primary focus right now is supporting Brody, his partner Polly and their family through his recovery, while ensuring his return to full health.”

“Jai is recovering well from his knee reconstruction and is in the early phases of his program, which is predominately focused on getting his range of motion back and beginning strength work,” Griffith said.

“Andy went in for surgery today following his ACL injury,” Griffith said. “Once he recovers from that surgery, we’ll begin to progress him through the first stages of his knee rehab.”
