WHO'S hurt and who is in line for selection at your club?
ADELAIDE
INJURIES
Brodie Smith (collarbone) 3-4 weeks
Ian Callinan (knee) available
Nathan van Berlo (knee) test
ON THE BLOCK: Hard to read too much into yesterday's whitewash over the Western Bulldogs. Rookie Ricky Laird tried hard but his efficiency (50 per cent) let him down. Jared Petrenko is no certainty to keep his spot with a couple of experienced heads on the outer.
ON THE CUSP: Skipper Nathan van Berlo must prove his fitness on the track after missing last week with a knee injury. Bernie Vince made the most of his SANFL hitout, amassing 27 disposals including seven clearances. Defenders Luke Thompson (21 possessions, six rebound 50s) and Brodie Martin (27 touches, 10 marks and two goals) put their hands up for selection. Jarryd Lyons is also in the mix.
GILBERT GARDINER'S FORECAST: Not sold on the 2-2 Crows just yet. The Bulldogs were no match yesterday, while beating Brisbane in Round 2 is nothing to crow about either. Patrick Dangerfield exploded in the first half against the Dogs after mixing his form during the first month of footy. Rory Sloane was the eye-catcher finishing with 29 disposals including eight clearances. We'll know more about this lot on Saturday afternoon when they come up against Carlton, fresh off its big win in the west.

BRISBANEINJURIES
Claye Beams (knee) season
Jared Polec (ankle) TBA
Brent Staker (knee) 1-2 weeks
Jesse O'Brien (adductor) 3-4 weeks
Matt McGuire (ankle) 1-2 weeks
Ash McGrath (leg) TBA
ON THE BLOCK: Ash McGrath could miss after coming off with a leg injury early in the loss to North Melbourne. Pearce Hanley is another out after copping a one-match ban from the match review panel. Stefan Martin has struggled and could easily be given the flick as Michael Voss looks to make a statement at selection. Substitute Marco Paparone (three goals) did more than enough on debut to warrant a second run. Josh Green was hit and miss with four clangers.
ON THE CUSP: Could Simon Black sneak back into the team? The Lions superstar emerged unscathed from his first game in eight months, picking up 26 disposals in the NEAFL. Vossy could do worse than start his great mate as the substitute for Sunday's match against Melbourne. Brent Staker also played at NEAFL level and got through the game OK. Fringe Lions James Polkinghorne, Todd Banfield and Patrick Karnezis were all named in the best, while Aaron Cornelius booted six goals. If only the enigmatic forward could repeat the dose in the senior team on a regular basis.
GILBERT GARDINER'S FORECAST: The Lions should be too good on their home deck for Melbourne. But they're far from certainties. The forward line is a mess, cap gun at best with marking targets Stef Martin and Jonathan Brown under the weather. Looking for Rich, Zorko and Rockliff to step up and impact the scoreboard this week. Karnezis could also be a bolter for selection in a forward role.

CARLTON
INJURIES
Eddie Betts (jaw) test
Marcus Davies (ankle) TBA
Matthew Kreuzer (thumb) 6 weeks
Andrew McInnes (knee) 6-8 weeks
Jarrad Waite (calf) 1-2 weeks
ON THE BLOCK: Substitute Aaron Joseph could come under fire with the Blues set to make at least one change if Eddie Betts returns. Simon White is another who just hasn't been able to put it together after a solid pre-season. Sam Rowe butchered the ball (36 per cent) but is offering a marking target.
ON THE CUSP: Betts will be itching to get a run after missing a couple of games with a broken jaw. David Ellard was best afield for the Northern Blues, booting four goals against Coburg. Levi Casboult slotted three goals and could come into calculations. Nick Duigan, Tom Bell and Jeremy Laidler remain in the wings.
GILBERT GARDINER'S FORECAST: Huge opportunity for Mick Malthouse to get his season back on track against an Adelaide side struggling with consistency. Malthouse would be rapt with his backline after it restricted Eagles powerhouses Josh Kennedy and Jack Darling last week. But new challenges await in Taylor Walker and the Crows' throng of goalkicking midfielders.
COLLINGWOOD
INJURIES
Nathan Brown (adductor) TBC
Luke Ball (knee) VFL return
Tyson Goldsack (unspecified) TBC
Ben Johnson (calf) available
Darren Jolly (ribs) Test
Clinton Young (hamstring) 1-2 weeks
Dayne Beams (quad) 1-2 weeks
Brodie Grundy (back) 3-5 weeks
Lachlan Keefe (knee) 4-5 weeks
Michael Hartley (shoulder) 4 weeks
Nick Maxwell (wrist) 4-5 weeks
Tim Broomhead (glandular fever) 7 weeks
ON THE BLOCK: Key defender Nathan Brown has an adductor injury and appears unlikely to face the Bombers on Anzac Day. It is a blow for the Magpies, but slightly tempered by the news Essendon will be without spearhead Michael Hurley. It is a quick turnaround and the Pies will need some fresh legs. The likes of Brent Macaffer, Paul Seedsman and Ben Sinclair might be the unlucky ones if Nathan Buckley decides to change it up.
ON THE CUSP: Andrew Krakouer is knocking on the door. He had 36 disposals in the twos at the weekend and looks good. Does Bucks bring him in on the big stage? It would be tempting to unleash the Krak. Assistant coach Robert Harvey said on radio today the club expects Ben Johnson, Tyson Goldsack, Alan Didak and Brown to be available for selection. But he also noted the good form shown against Richmond will make it difficult to make too many changes. Luke Ball is set to return through the VFL this week, meaning an AFL comeback shouldn't be too far away.
NICK SMART'S FORECAST: Collingwood's depth has been impressive. They are missing key cogs of their side, but are still getting the job done. Others such as West Coast should take notice. There's still no Luke Ball, Dayne Beams, Clinton Young or Nick Maxwell. And ruckman Darren Jolly is likely to miss again. But they are being covered by the kids, who are all playing a role. If they produce the same intensity as shown against Richmond, it will be another Anzac Day win for the Pies.
SUPERCOACH WATCH: Travis Cloke, take a bow. His career-high seven goals meant he scored 195 SuperCoach points, which boosted his average to 124 and price to $515,900. Dane Swan, in his 200th game, helped himself to 168 points.

ESSENDON
INJURIES
Michael Hurley (ankle) Won't play
Dustin Fletcher (groin) Won't play
Stuart Crameri (knee) Test
ON THE BLOCK: Essendon has lost its bookends for Anzac Day with Michael Hurley and Dustin Fletcher both ruled out. It hurts the Dons' spine against the in-form Magpies, who blitzed Richmond at the MCG on Saturday. It is unlikely the undefeated Bombers will flirt with form and make too many unforced changes.
ON THE CUSP: They lose Hurley, but might get back Stuart Crameri - who was a late withdrawal against St Kilda with a knee injury. And this will really excite Bomber fans - Joe Daniher is "in the mix" - according to skipper Jobe Watson. The much hyped Daniher has to be a chance to come in against the Maggies. And what a time to do it - in front of 90,000 at the MCG on Anzac Day. Come on, Hirdy.
NICK SMART'S FORECAST: The injuries have come at Bomberland after an unblemished start to the season. Unfortunately, it has hit their bookends. But they will still head into Anzac Day with the confidence they can knock off Collingwood. They are unbeaten and playing good football. Have lost their past seven games against the Pies, but have the game style to trouble them.
SUPERCOACH WATCH: Skipper Jobe Watson scored above 120 for the third time this season but amazingly dipped in price, if only by $2,800. He might be a bit more affordable after this week with a break-even of 149.

FREMANTLE
INJURIES
Anthony Morabito (knee) season
Aaron Sandiland (foot) 6 weeks
Matthew Pavlich (Achilles) 6 weeks
Luke McPharlin (concussion) test
ON THE BLOCK: Poor Nick Suban. Had a dog of day and copped a spray from his coach on live television at halftime for his troubles. Two disposals and 50 per cent efficiency should just about ensure the defender spends the weekend in the WAFL. Cameron Sutcliffe butchered the ball while debutant and late inclusion Tanner Smith did just enough in his baptism of fire.
ON THE CUSP: Luke McPharlin you'd think is a certainty to line up against Richmond. Hayden Crozier was rock solid in the WAFL with 17 disposals and two goals.
GILBERT GARDINER'S FORECAST: Important for the Dockers to bounce back after their ill-fated trip south. Ross Lyon's "anyone, any time, anywhere" mantra was put to bed by quarter-time with the Hawks piling on five unanswered goals. Matt de Boer has room for improvement after mixing his form in recent weeks, while marking targets Chris Mayne and Kepler Bradley need help inside the arc.

GEELONGINJURIES
Daniel Menzel (knee) TBC
James Kelly (calf) available
Travis Varcoe (shoulder) 11-12 weeks
Josh Cowan (Achilles) indefinite
Hamish McIntosh (knee) indefinite
George Burbury (foot) indefinite
Jed Bews (foot) indefinite
Dawson Simpson (back) Indefinite
ON THE BLOCK: Not too many. Coach Chris Scott will not want to tinker too much with the side that defeated Sydney at the SCG. If he felt picky, the likes of forward Billy Smedts and Josh Caddy might be feeling a tad nervous. Luckless Daniel Menzel is also set for another knee reconstruction after hurting himself in the twos at the weekend. Horrible luck.
ON THE CUSP: There are a few knocking on the door. Josh Hunt and Cameron Guthrie are both playing well in the twos and continue to push for a return, although the side is looking quite settled at the second.
NICK SMART'S FORECAST: What a win that was in Sydney. The Cats are flying and you can all but pencil in another win this weekend against the hapless Bulldogs at Etihad Stadium. Make no mistake of it, the Cats are not going anywhere. Premiership contenders again with a capital P.
SUPERCOACH WATCH- Joel Selwood - what a superstar. The inspirational Geelong skipper collected 163 points against the Swans. Defender Harry Taylor (125) also impressed greatly.
GOLD COAST
INJURIES
Matthew Warnock (arm) 8 weeks
Joel Wilkinson (ankle) TBC
Harley Bennell (hamstring) 1 weel
Liam Patrick (hamstring) 1-2 weeks
Seb Tape (knee) 1-2 weejs
Jesse Lonergan (wrist) 1 week
Campbell Brown (suspension) 2 weeks
Maverick Weller (shoulder) 1 week
Nathan Bock (leg) indefinite
ON THE BLOCK: Massive blow for the Suns with scans confirming key defender Matthew Warnock will miss eight weeks with a fractured arm. Defender Joel Wilkinson will come out with an ankle injury and Harley Bennell will also miss again with a hamstring strain. There will also be some unforced changes too. Angry coach Guy McKenna said he was "sharpening the axe" after the disappointing loss to Port Adelaide at Metricon Stadium on Saturday night. A few of their big men would be nervous this week.
ON THE CUSP: The "Bull" Danny Stanley should come in for his first game of the year after overcoming groin and back complaints. He has spent a few weeks in the twos and is ready to go. Expect to see forward Tom Lynch back in the side after kicking six goals in the twos at the weekend. "The Cannon" Trent McKenzie also has to be close.
NICK SMART'S FORECAST: GWS Giants in Canberra this week. Massive game for the Suns. They were humbled by the Giants in Canberra a year ago, and it should serve as a reminder not to underestimate their fellow expansion club this time. On that day, the Giants cracked in hard while the Suns just didn't feel like doing the work. They cannot let it happen again. They have their injuries, but so do the Giants. A must-win.
SUPERCOACH WATCH- IF you took big man Charlie Dixon at the start of the season, you would be smiling. Another big showing on the weekend with 103 points. His price is up almost $62,000 since Round 1.

GWS
INJURIES
Taylor Adams (hip) TBC
Matthew Buntine (lung) 2 weeks
Dom Tyson (knee) 4 weeks
Chad Cornes (shoulder) Indefinite
Dean Brogan (suspended) 2 weeks
Jon Patton (knee) season
ON THE BLOCK: Tim Mohr is out of form and likely to find himself out of the side against the Suns. No.1 draft pick Lachie Whitfield hurt his shoulder against the Demons, but should be right this weekend.
ON THE CUSP: Expect to see former Blue Bret Thornton come in for the Giants. The big man booted eight golas in the twos at the weekend and is primed for an AFL return. The Suns have lost key defender Matthew Warnock and the Giants will want to exploit them here. Could be a bolter for the Giants.
NICK SMART'S FORECAST: They were terrific for three quarters against Melbourne before badly falling away in the final term, conceding 12 goals. Have to pick themselves back up quickly as this is a winnable game for them. Got the better of the Suns this time last year in Canberra and will be confident they can do it again here.
HAWTHORN
INJURIES
Ryan Schoenmakers (knee) season
Brad Sewell (hamstring) test
Derek Wanganeen (hamstring) test
Xavier Ellis (calf) 1 weeks
Brendan Whitecross (knee) 5 weeks
Matthew Suckling (knee) indefinite
Alex Woodward (knee) indefinite
ON THE BLOCK: Terrible news with defender Ryan Schoenmakers to miss the rest of the season with a knee injury. He requires a reconstruction and it is a big blow for Hawthorn's defensive structure. Shane Savage is also likely to find himself on the block this week.
ON THE CUSP: Brian Lake, finally. The ex-defender is set to come in against the Roos. And he may be joined by midfielder Brad Sewell, he looks to have overcome a hamstring injury. Brett Guerra is also in their calculations.
NICK SMART'S FORECAST: They are playing good football and should be too strong for the Kangaroos. But they will really miss Schoenmakers, who has been a very important key defender for them. Their back six has taken some well documented hits, going back to the end of last season. Will it finally begin to take its toll?
SUPERCOACH WATCH- Shaun Burgoyne (153) and Grant Birchall (152) did the damage on the weekend. Massive scores by both.

MELBOURNE
INJURIES
Jordie McKenzie (calf) test
Jack Fitzpatrick (concussion) test
Lynden Dunn (hamstring tightness) test
Nathan Stark (knee) test
Joel Macdonald (hamstring) test
Chris Dawes (hamstring) 1 week
ON THE BLOCK: Neville Jetta will miss two weeks for his high bump on Lachie Whitfield against the Giants. Jack Viney may be due for a breather after being subbed off yesterday with just five disposals.
ON THE CUSP: With Jetta out, expect to see Jordie McKenzie come in. Daniel Nicholson is also close to a recall.
NICK SMART'S FORECAST: Hip, hip, hooray! Finally a win at the embattled Demons - and didn't they need it. They produced 12 final-quarter goals against the Giants. The big question whether they can build on that as they prepare to face Brisbane at the Gabba on Sunday. The Lions are battling, but they would still need to produce something special up north. In three weeks they play Gold Coast so the win-loss ledger could look a whole lot healthier if the Dees find their mojo.
SUPERCOACH WATCH- Ex-Cat Shannon Byrnes boosted his price by $36,800 with his 128 points at the weekend.
Neville Jetta faces nervous wait for ruling on bump on Lachie Whitfield.
NORTH MELBOURNE
INJURIES
Majak Daw (concussion) test
Robbie Tarrant (leg test
ON THE BLOCK: Time is running out for Lachie Hansen. The at-times maligned 2006 No.3 pick struggled (seven disposals, three clangers) against the Lions while all around him ran riot. Majak Daw did enough in his exhilarating 18 minutes on the ground to suggest he'll play (if fit) on Sunday. Sam Wright and Liam Anthony could be at risk with a number of Kangaroos performing well at VFL level.
ON THE CUSP: Robbie Tarrant plays if fit after breaking down at training last week. Ben Jacobs had the ball on a string for North Ballarat, collecting 41 disposals including 13 clearances. Developing forward Aaron Black booted five goals in the same game while Will Sierakowski was OK for Werribee.
GILBERT GARDINER'S FORECAST: Coach Brad Scott says the Kangaroos learn more from their losses than they do wins. Wind back the clock nine months and one loss, one man stands out. Lance Franklin. Thirteeeeeeeeen! Scott Thompson and Nathan Grima were towelled up that Saturday afternoon as the Hawks piled on 27 goals for a 115-point bloodbath in Launceston. Retribution on Sunday? For North's sake, let's hope so. As far as positives go, the Kangaroos' 1-3 record is better than it suggests with narrow losses to top-four aspirants Collingwood and Geelong before being outclassed by Sydney.
PORT ADELAIDE
INJURIES
Brett Ebert (adductor) 3 weeks
Paul Stewart (knee) test
ON THE BLOCK: Hard to knock a winning team. Good to see Robbie Gray emerge unscathed in his comeback from a knee reconstruction last year. Jake Neade has hit the rookie wall, refer Melbourne young gun Jack Viney, and could be in need of a break after a solid month of footy.
ON THE CUSP: Paul Stewart will come into consideration if fit while Cameron Hitchcock enjoyed a solid SANFL hitout with 18 disposals, seven inside-50s and two goals. Utility Andrew Moore was also handy picking up 15 possessions including five clearances and a goal. He also laid six tackles.
GILBERT GARDINER'S FORECAST: Port is faced with yet another test when it hosts West Coast on Saturday night. The 4-0 Power look to have a more settled midfield than the Eagles, but could struggle in the ruck, with Dean Cox way too classy for both Matthew Lobbe and Brent Renouf. Can The Hoff's run continue? Bearded flyer Justin Westhoff (three goals) could easily have kicked five against the Suns, while Jay Schulz is as dangerous as ever from anywhere inside 55m.

RICHMOND
INJURIES
Sam Lonergan (hamstring) test
Jake King (leg) TBA
Troy Chaplin (concussion) test
ON THE BLOCK: After a settled opening to the season, the Tigers' match committee might have some work to do. Jake King looked very sore when he hobbled off with a leg injury on Saturday while defender Steve Morris is set to sit out a week after being charged by the match review panel. Shane Tuck was subbed off and has had a slow start to the year, while Luke McGuane had no impact and Ricky Petterd might be nervous after a couple of costly fumbles.
ON THE CUSP: Brad Helbig continuing his strong run of form with 27 disposals for Coburg and Aaron Edwards kicked seven goals. Interestingly, Nick Vlastuin was rested for the first quarter and Robbie Nahas for the whole first half – both performed well after taking the field – indicating the coaches might have had Friday's trip to Perth to play Fremantle in mind. The best news from the game was the successful return of Nathan Foley, who picked up 18 disposals in a half playing his first match since snapping his Achilles tendon in the middle of last year. After the game Foley said he pulled up well but would need a few more runs in the twos before a senior call-up.
AL PATON'S FORECAST: This shapes as a very big week for the Tigers, who need to bounce back from a disappointing showing on the big stage. Richmond couldn't find a way through Collingwood's intense full-ground pressure and it won't get any easier against the Dockers. The Tigers' record in Perth isn't good – three wins from their last 16 visits, in fact. Ryan Crowley has gone to Brett Deledio in recent meetings.
ST KILDA
INJURIES
Beau Maister (wrist) 4-6 weeks
Sean Dempster (hand) 1-2 weeks
James Gwilt (knee) 1-2 weeks
Jackson Ferguson (knee) 1-2 weeks
Adam Schneider (hamstring) 2-3 weeks
Jack Newnes (fractured jaw) 1 week
Daniel Markworth (knee) season
ON THE BLOCK: Scans today revealed Maister has a fractured wrist and will be out of action for at least a month. Nathan Wright couldn't back up his impressive debut, picking up just three kicks against the Bombers while Tom Simpkin struggled against Essendon's tall forwards. Terry Milera was subbed off with eight touches (50 per cent efficiency) and no goals but might keep his spot if Stephen Milne accepts his one-match suspension.
ON THE CUSP: Justin Koschitzke should get a plane ticket to New Zealand after a month in the VFL, while Tom Lee could also come in after he was a late withdrawal on Saturday. There is some doubt over Arryn Siposs, who was pulled out at the last minute for the second time this season. Tom Hickey and exciting key forward Spencer White, who kicked three goals for Sandringham, are other tall options. Jason Blake could replace Simpkin. The Saints will fly to New Zealand tomorrow with a 25-man squad that will be cut to 22 on Wednesday.
AL PATON'S FORECAST: The Saints will at least have home ground advantage in Wellington for the first AFL match played overseas for premiership points. Saints fans should be advised to not look too closely at the fixture – the next obviously winnable game doesn't come until Round 9. Scott Watters has a huge headache trying to contain opposition tall forwards and will be hoping Sydney's Sam Reid doesn't find some form before Thursday.

SYDNEY
INJURIES
Alex Johnson (knee) season
Gary Rohan (leg) indefinite
Rhyce Shaw (abdominal strain) 1 week
ON THE BLOCK: Lewis Roberts-Thomson will miss 3-4 weeks after having arthroscopic surgery on his injured knee. LRT was cleared of structural damage. Mitch Morton was far from spectacular in his return to the senior list while Lewis Jetta's wretched run continued against the Cats.
ON THE CUSP: Andrejs Everitt looms as the likely replacement for LRT after booting three goals in the NEAFL last week. Tommy Walsh could sneak a spot after kicking 12 goals in two weeks in the reserves. Craig Bird and Jed Lamb are thereabouts.
GILBERT GARDINER'S FORECAST: No doubt the Swans would have pencilled in the Cats as a win, a hard-fought one at that. It doesn't get any easier in Thursday's landmark Anzac Day match in Wellington, New Zealand.
WEST COAST
INJURIES
Andrew Embley (foot) 1-2 weeks
Nic Naitnui (groin) 2-3 weeks
Mark Nicoski (hamstring) 3-4 weeks
Brad Sheppard (shoulder) test
Beau Waters (calf) test
Sharrod Wellingham (ankle) test
Darren Glass (shoulder) test
ON THE BLOCK: Bradd Dalziell came on as the substitute and failed to have an impact. That could work against him at selection on Thursday. Ashton Hams has lost his spark while Adam Selwood had a dog of a day chasing Blues livewire Chris Yarran. Skipper Darren Glass remains in doubt after playing with a bung shoulder at the weekend. Looked in pain last Friday. Doubtful.
ON THE CUSP: Beau Waters is desperately needed in defence and after two weeks on the sidelines should be ready to go. Matt Rosa had 18 disposals and 10 marks in the WAFL while speedster Murray Newman impressed with 27 possessions and five marks. Brad Sheppard sat out with a shoulder and must prove his fitness at training. Andrew Embley probably needs another week.
GILBERT GARDINER'S FORECAST: As far as pre-season predictions go, West Coast wouldn't have expected its clash against Port Adelaide in Round 5 to be a must-win. But that's exactly what it's shaping up to be with the Eagles reeling in 12th spot on the ladder and just one win, over Melbourne, to their name. Port is up and about. Most importantly, it believes again. The Eagles on the other hand struggled to kick a winning score last week. Their forward thrusts stunk, with long bombs too close to goal bringing about eight rushed behinds. Expect Josh Kennedy and Jack Darling to strike back after quiet outings against the Blues.

WESTERN BULLDOGS
INJURIES
Nathan Hrovat (calf) test
Ryan Griffen (shoulder) 1-2 weeks
Lin Jong (leg) 6 weeks
Tory Dickson (ankle) 7 weeks
Easton Wood (hamstring) 5 weeks
Shaun Higgins (foot) season
ON THE BLOCK: Ryan Griffen will come out with a shoulder injury, and is set to miss at least one week in a blow for the Dogs. Daniel Giansiracusa was quiet, as was Liam Jones in conditions that didn't suit him, while Jason Tutt faded out of the match quickly.
ON THE CUSP: There will be some changes this week. Patrick Veszpremi put himself in contention, while Clay Smith made the trip to Adelaide as a spare and remains on the fringe.
NICK SMART'S FORECAST: Kicking 4.4 in an afternoon is just not good enough. It was an awful performance against Adelaide at AAMI Stadium. And the news gets no better this week up against the in-form Cats at Etihad Stadium. The only good news against the Crows was the performance of Adam Cooney. He will need some help against the Cats. Who can fly the flag?
SUPERCOACH WATCH- That man Cooney popped up with 136 points against Adelaide. His price is up $70,100 this season. On that front he's no match for Brett Goodes (106), who has jumped a whopping $165,800.
