New updates since conclusion AFL Round 10

Tom Stewart

Knee soreness, Test

As Chris mentioned post-game, we expect Tom to be available to play Port Adelaide. We decided to give Tom another week to recover, and we will continue monitor him throughout the week before making a call.

Rhys Stanley

Hamstring, Test

Rhys has been progressing well after a low-grade hamstring strain against Collingwood. Like we do with most players, we will give him every opportunity to prove his fitness, however we also won’t hesitate to give him another week to recover.

Jack Henry

Hamstring, Test

Jack made a successful return to training with the main group last week as he continues his rehabilitation program. We are hopeful to have him back this week, however, are mindful of the short turnaround into the Western Bulldogs game in Round 11.

He will be a test this week, and similar to Tom we will make the call later in the week.

Mitch Knevitt

Foot, 1-2 weeks

Mitch will miss this week as he continues his rehabilitation from a right plantar fascia injury. The aim for Mitch is to see him return to training with the group this week.

Jake Koladajsnij

Groin, 1-3 weeks

Jake missed this past weekend’s VFL game with a back spasm and also has some low grade groin symptoms. Our focus is that Jake is set up to have a consistent second half of the season, so we will continue to manage his training loads over the next one to three weeks, before he can make a return to play.
