Updated: June 18, 2024

Early prognosis

Hawthorn has a relatively clean bill of health right now with Mitch Lewis playing managed minutes in the VFL last weekend and set to be available for selection after the mid-season bye.

Joel SmithSuspensionIndefinite
Charlie SpargoAchillesTBC
Updated: June 18, 2024

Early prognosis

Petracca's absence for the rest of 2024 puts a huge hole in the Dees' top-four hopes. The club hoped Lever would return from knee surgery after the bye but he won't play again until at least round 16 against the Lions. Schache's availability adds depth to the tall stocks, but he looks more likely to return via the VFL. Melksham is back training with the main group as he nears a playing return from a knee reconstruction. - Michael Rogers

Richmond has the bye this week and has not released an updated injury report, with the above being an approximation ahead of next week's game against Carlton.
