Apparently Rocky could return in R13

All I can find on Birch at the moment.

The Hawks will almost certainly reinstate half-back Grant Birchall and small forward Paul Puopolo.

Birchall has missed the past two rounds with an ankle injury and Fagan said he would “go pretty close” to resuming against Adelaide, as would Puopolo, who has missed one round with a foot problem.

“Both were close to playing against St Kilda, but we decided to give them extra time,” Fagan said. “Birchall still had a small amount of soreness.”

Will most certainly play one would think.

Idk where GL saw it, but I saw it here:

"The Lions are hopeful of getting Adcock, Gardiner, Harwood, McStay and Redden back for the Bulldogs in Round 12, with Aish, Rockliff and Merrett potentially the week after."

Jake Lever ruled out >:(

http://www.afc.com.au/news/2015-06-15/injury-update-rd-12

Andy Otten is on track to make his long-awaited comeback from a second knee reconstruction within a month, but Mitch Grigg faces a stint on the sidelines with an ankle injury.

Grigg, who has played the last five games for the Crows, sprained his ankle whilst running over the break. Head of Football David Noble said the left-footer requires further assessment to determine the extent of the injury.

“Unfortunately, ‘Griggy’ rolled his ankle quite significantly and will be out for several weeks,” Noble said.

“We’re not quite sure of the exact timeframe at the moment, but he’s in a moon boot and will be for a few weeks.”

Young defender Jake Lever has also been ruled out of Thursday night’s clash with Hawthorn because of an ankle complaint.

Lever, 19, sprained his ankle in the dying minutes of Adelaide’s Round Nine match against Fremantle and missed the Club’s most recent game against Carlton. The injury is healing more slowly than initially expected, and will see Lever spend another week on the sidelines.

^ flower that.  :(

Don't think I'll have 18 this week, just like last week. My ranking is getting repeatedly kicked in the balls thanks to the byes.

Mummy apparently should get up for this week's game after rolling his ankle.

Yep, just read an article on the AFL site before.

They reckon he's the only Giant who got injured against the Pies that should recover in time.

Edit: Here it says:

Influential ruckman Shane Mumford, who rolled an ankle, is the only player injured against Collingwood who is likely to recover in time to face the Kangaroos, with Joel Patfull (ribs), Phil Davis (ankle) and Stephen Coniglio (shoulder) all in serious doubt.
