This Injury Report is brought to you by nib. With nib, life could be potentially amazing.
Jasper Alger: Ankle, Available
Tom Burton: Groin, Available
Harry Armstrong: Foot Soreness, Available
Campbell Gray: Hamstring, Available
Jasper Alger and Tom Burton could have returned last week had there not been a VFL Bye. Along with Harry Armstrong, they will be available to play this weekend.
Campbell Gray, we also expect to be available, provided he completes training.
Given it will be his first game since Round 11, the plan will be for Campbell to be on managed minutes.

Noah Balta: Toe, Round 23-24
Noah Balta is back running. We will monitor his progress before making a call on his availability for the last two weeks.
Sam Cumming: Ankle/Shoulder, Season
Sam Cumming suffered a moderate grade syndesmosis injury in a tackle during Sunday’s game.
The ankle injury will not require surgery, but we will take the opportunity for him to go in and have his shoulder operated on.
For Sam to have played 14 AFL games this year is a great result after his pre-season shoulder injury, and he will be better for it coming into 2027.
Rhyan Mansell: Foot, Season
We sought specialist opinion regarding Rhyan Mansell's foot soreness.
Following their assessment, we have made the decision to rule him out for the remainder of the year.
