Liam Jones remains a test to return ahead of VFL and AFL games this weekend.

The tall defender has been battling general soreness and will need to get through main training this week before being available to return.

“Liam Jones’ general soreness from a heavy landing two weeks ago has continued to improve,” Head of Sports Medicine, Chris Bell said.

“If he gets through full training this week like I expect, his name will be back on the selection table.”

Michael Sellwood has been managed through the concussion protocols and could return via the VFL this weekend.

“Michael has progressed well within our concussion protocols. He still has some final boxes to tick across the next 48 hours but is in line to return to return to availability.”

Luke Kennedy will miss another week with some calf trouble.

“Luke has some low-level calf tightness. Being a young first year player, we won’t take any risks with Luke and will monitor him across the next week to determine when he returns to play.”

James Harmes remains ill after missing last weekend’s victory over North Melbourne, with the winger set to be a test against Adelaide.

Arthur Jones is still three weeks away from a return due to a hamstring injury, while Adam Treloar continues to recover from his calf complaint.

Feels like a surprisingly short list for this time of year. Shame Ads timeline has gone up rather than down.

Western Bulldogs utility Harvey Gallagher has suffered a further setback, with scans confirming a bone stress injury to his foot.

Gallagher had recently been sidelined with a calf injury.

“During our match simulation training session on Saturday, Harvey developed some generalised ankle symptoms,” Bulldogs Head of Medical Services Chris Bell said.

“Scans have confirmed that he has a bone stress injury to his navicular bone.

“Harvey will consult with a surgeon this week to confirm if surgical management is needed to assist with his management.

“His rehabilitation plan and timeline will be confirmed across this week.”

James Harmes remains a test after falling ill, while Arthur Jones is closing in on a return from a hamstring complaint.

Pleasingly, the Bulldogs emerged from their AFL Round 18 match unscathed.

A stress fracture of the foot would almost certainly mean season over for Gallagher. Surgery or not. At this stage they aren't saying the F word (fracture) but it sounds ominous.

Bones in the feet take longer than bones elsewhere to repair naturally due to poorer blood supply. There are only 6 rounds left, plus a final or three. The best he could hope for would be a late run in the VFL side but I'd be surprised if he managed that.

It's disappointing. I really think he has a future especially if he can tidy up some of his disposal efficiency.

Navicular as well which is one you definitely don't want to be rushing back
 
Good to see Treloar tracking better, last week he was listed as 6-9 weeks, this week 4-6.
