-Allen Christensen: The only player currently not training, the small forward has undergone a minor surgery on his back and is expected to be back running after Christmas.

-Jack Silvagni: back injury. doing most of training.

-Ben Silvagni: quad injury. doing most of training.
-Darcy Lang: After managing eight games last season, Lang finished the year early after he was sent for surgery on a troublesome ankle injury. The club brought forward the operation to ensure he started pre-season on time and has no concerns over his recovery.

-Taylor Adams: in moonboot in December. Unknown injury.
