Judd a strong change to play
Struggling Carlton are set to receive a massive boost with former captain Chris Judd looking likely to play against the Western Bulldogs on Sunday.
Judd has missed the first four matches after having surgery on his Achilles.
"He's got to get through training on Thursday, we've got a big session Thursday, and then follow that up Saturday morning," Andrew McKay told the club's website.
Sylvia rubbed out for two
Former Demon Colin Sylvia will have to wait at least another fortnight to make his Fremantle debut after he was suspended by the WAFL tribunal.
Sylvia, playing for Peel Thunder, was found guilty of rough conduct for his off-the-ball hit on Subiaco's Brett Mahoney.
On Monday, Dockers coach Ross Lyon said he was disappointed with his new recruit's lack of discipline.
"I'm certainly not pleased," Lyon told Perth radio station 6PR.
"It's the last thing Colin and the club need, there's no doubt about that. We've got some injury worries and he was actually building some pretty good form.
"It's a significant hurdle he's put in front of himself and the club. I'm certainly not pleased but at the end of the day life goes on and we'll pick those that are available."
Shiels ruled out of blockbuster
Hawthorn have lost Liam Shiels for the Easter Monday blockbuster against Geelong.
Shiels, who has started the season in great form, will miss up to a month after he injured his AC joint in a collision with Gold Coast's Jarrod Harbrow on the weekend.
Matt Spangher is also out with an ankle problem.
But in good news, Ruckman Ben McEvoy and defender Ben Stratton are both available for selection.
North Smih Medalist Brian Lake and Ryan Schoenmakers are also ready to play, but may be forced to spend another week in the VFL.
Saints lose Armitage
St Kilda will be without David Armitage for Saturday night's clash against Essendon.
The midfielder copped a nasty cut to his knee in Sunday's loss to Adelaide.
"He had to have stitches in it [and] he is struggling to bend his knee so we’ve ruled him out for a week but he will be right the week after," club physio Andrew Wallis told the Saints official website.
No Goodes for Bulldogs
Brett Goodes' hopes of earning a recall to the Bulldogs side for this week's clash against Carlton have been dashed after he was suspended by the VFL for a week.
There is a spot in the Bulldogs defence up for grabs with Dale Morris also suspended.
Michael Talia or Fletcher Roberts are the two in the frame for selection.
Marcus Bontompelli is firming as another inlcusion after a string of impressive performances in the VFL.
