Optus Stadium, 8:10pm [AEST]

The Dockers will be hoping Alex Pearce (shin) and Brandon Walker (shoulder) will be available this week after separate injury setbacks, but there's no reprieve for the young Bombers who continue to push through the longest injury list in the AFL. In saying that, Elijah Tsatas (30 disposals) and Dylan Shiel (27 and two goals) could be in the selection frame after solid outings in the VFL, while the club has also confirmed a debut for emerging young ruck Vigo Visentini.

Brisbane will be forced into at least one change for its clash with the Cats this week after Jack Payne suffered a patella tendon rupture in last week's loss to the Giants, with Darcy Gardiner looking a likely replacement. Tom Doedee has also been progressing in the VFL as he continues to eye his first senior appearance since rupturing his ACL.

Carlton spearhead Charlie Curnow was subbed out of the win over the Eagles with calf tightness but is confident of facing the Roos this week, while mystery surrounds the fitness of counterpart Harry McKay who has been struggling with knee soreness, with Michael Voss conceding the club is weighing up surgery for the Coleman medallist.

Adelaide Oval, 4:15pm [AEST]

There'll be eyes on Port trio Ollie Wines (knee), Aliir Aliir (knee) and Jason Horne-Francis (shoulder) this week, who were all worse for wear following a gritty win against the Dees in Round 14, although those injuries are expected to be very minor and the club is hopeful all three will face Sydney. Meanwhile, the Swans will regain Joel Amartey from suspension this week, and Errol Gulden (ankle) and Tom Papley (foot) are edging a lot closer to a return.

Collingwood will be hoping to regain defender Brayden Maynard (foot) this week, provided he gets through training unscathed, while Mattaes Phillipou could be in the mix for the Saints after taking a cautious approach with his calf recovery.
