WHO'S hurt, who's hot? We take a look at all 18 teams ahead of Round 10.

AFL UMPIRES

INJURIES

Troy Pannell (concussion) 1 week

ON THE BLOCK: Field umpire Troy Pannell is set to miss this week after being knocked out in last Friday night's clash with Sydney defender Nick Malceski. Pannell, who made his AFL umpiring debut in 2005, was stretchered from the field prompting boos from the crowd. While the crowd's response was criticised from all angles, Pannell said he has no "issue with the booing". "We get booed every week," he told a Melbourne radio station. Pannell was booked to umpire Saturday night's blockbuster between Port Adelaide and Hawthorn at Adelaide Oval. But he's since been alleviated from his duties after reporting ill effects from the incident on the weekend. "Saturday I wasn't great and still a bit scratchy yesterday (Sunday)," he said. Pannell said he had no memory of the seemingly innocuous incident. "Clearly wrong spot, wrong time and then (I was) out like a light from then on."

ADELAIDE

INJURIES

Brad Crouch (leg) 1-2 weeks

Ricky Henderson (leg) 3-4 months

Tom Lynch (broken jaw) 4-6 weeks

Jack Osborn (back) test

Nathan van Berlo (Achilles) 3-4 months

ON THE BLOCK: Brenton Sanderson swung the selection axe after the loss to Melbourne, but after such a strong showing in the win over Collingwood it's hard to foresee any changes this week.

ON THE CUSP: Brent Reilly remains stranded on 199 games and played in the SANFL on the weekend, he along with Jared Pentrenko, Andy Otten, Mitch Grigg and Shaun Mckernan are in contention for a senior recall.

ADAM BALDWIN'S FORECAST: The loss to Melbourne aside, Adelaide are in decent form. The Crows looked a different side against Collingwood and with the addition of Taylor Walker the forward line looks at potent as we thought it would. They have won three out of the last four games now and just one game out of the eight. However, the win over Collingwood means nothing if they drop Sunday's game against Carlton. Both sides have shown the ability to play finals football but also the tendency to go through big lapses in games. It's anyone's ball game and if the Crows can travel to the MCG and win then all of a sudden the loss to Melbourne becomes a distant memory and their finals hopes are well and truly alive.

SUPERCOACH STUDS AND DUDS

BRISBANE (bye this week)

INJURIES

Matthew Leuenberger (knee) 8 weeks

Stefan Martin (back) available

Ash McGrath (calf) 2 weeks

Daniel Rich (knee) season

Brent Staker (calf) indefinite

Patrick Weardon (ankle) 7 weeks

Matt Maguire (suspended) available

Tom Rockliff (ill) available

Joel Patfull (ill) available

GILBERT GARDINER'S FORECAST: The bye couldn't come soon enough for this lot. The young Lions struggled to make any in roads, outplayed from the opening bounce to the final siren. While Tom Rockliff and Joel Patfull were held out with illness, one wonders whether Dayne Zorko and Daniel Merrett had similar problems pre-match. Both failed to impact the contest. The good news is the Lions have three 'winnable' games coming up with Carlton, Western Bulldogs and Greater Western Sydney on the horizon. Young forward Michael Close looks a beauty and has the ultimate of role models on Jonathan Brown to learn from.

CARLTON

INJURIES

Tom Bell (finger) test

Andrew Carrazzo (back) test

Patrick Cripps (broken fibula) 2 weeks

Ed Curnow (broken leg) 2 weeks

Chris Judd (hamstring) 1-2 weeks

Matthew Kreuzer (foot) 6-8 weeks

Mitch Robinson (suspension) 1 week

Jarrad Waite (back) test

ON THE BLOCK: Mitch Robinson will miss with suspension and Jeff Garlett is likely to come under selection heat after an indifferent performance in the substitute vest against St Kilda.

ON THE CUSP: The Blues should welcome back some key players for the game against Adelaide with Jarrad Waite, Tom Bell and Andrew Carrazzo likely to return and Chris Judd a slim chance. The Northern Blues also had the bye last weekend.

ADAM BALDWIN'S FORECAST: This game shapes as a season defining contest for both clubs. It's fair to suggest that if Carlton drop this one at home, it will be 3-6 and facing an uphill battle to make the finals. The Blues will take confidence from their strong win over St Kilda, but face an Adelaide Crows side back on track after a strong win over Collingwood. The fitness of Jarrad Waite is an important factor for Carlton, which needs all talls on deck to cover Adelaide's tall forwards. It's hard to know what to expect from either side here, for the Blues to win they will need to kick enough midfield goals and limit the supply to Adelaide's forward line. Flip of the coin.

COLLINGWOOD

INJURIES

Nathan Freeman (hamstring) 1-2 weeks

Corey Gault (collarbone) 6-7 weeks

Quinten Lynch (leg) 4-6 weeks

Adam Oxley (ankle) test

Ben Reid (calf) 2-3 weeks

Matthew Scharenberg (feet) indefinite

Ben Sinclair (hamstring) 1-2 weeks

ON THE BLOCK: Big men Jarrod Witts and Lachie Keefe are likely to come under selection heat following modest performances against the Crows. Keefe was beaten convincingly by Josh Jenkins (four goals) and Witts offered little up forward on a night when Collingwood was screaming for a mobile forward target.

HEY TRAV, GET ON YA BIKE

ON THE CUSP: After playing four games in the VFL, Nathan Brown is beating down the door and should get his chance against West Coast on Saturday. Alex Fasolo travelled with the side to Adelaide and while rumours of his late inclusion proved false, he is a strong chance to win selection this week. Patrick Karnetzis and Kyle Martin were among the best players in the VFL.

COLLINGWOOD v WEST COAST: PRESS RED FOR ED IS BACK ON FOX FOOTY

ADAM BALDWIN'S FORECAST: The loss to the Crows saw Collingwood drop from fourth to eighth and this week's match-up with ninth-placed West Coast is crucial. Since the Round 1 loss to Fremantle, the Pies have hardly put a foot wrong, but there were some concerning signs against Adelaide. The forward line might need a rethink after it looked slow and cumbersome when trailing in the second half. Travis Cloke continues to struggle and when Jesse White and Witts couldn't offer a target there was nothing for the midfield to kick to. Jamie Elliott remains the leading goalkicker and the midfield continues to provide a healthy contribution to the scoreboard. A win sees the Pies cement their position in the eight, but a loss sees them back with the pack. Collingwood should get the job done here.

ESSENDON (bye this week)

INJURIES

Alex Browne (knee) season

Will Hams (hip) 1 week

Elliott Kavanagh (hamstring) test

Nick Kommer (knee) 2 weeks

Jason Winderlich (knee) test

Paul Chapman (suspended) available

GILBERT GARDINER'S FORECAST: Essendon was simply outclassed against the Swans and must use the break to find and/or manufacture avenues to goal. The Bombers were held to nine majors, taking their streak of sub 75-point scores to six. Paul Chapman's return adds depth and bite to the forward line, while Jake Carlisle showed a glimmer of form kicking two goals as the substitute. Tom Bellchambers will be better for the run.

FREMANTLE (bye this week)

INJURIES

Max Duffy (shoulder) 2 weeks

Scott Gumbleton (hamstring) 5 weeks

Luke McPharlin (quad) test

Sam Menegola (knee) test

Alex Pearce (shin) test

Tanner Smith (hamstring) 3 weeks

Michael Walters (ankle) 12-16 weeks

GILBERT GARDINER'S FORECAST: All of a sudden Fremantle looks like the team that came within poor goalkicking from securing its first AFL premiership. And, there's no reason the Dockers can't win nine-straight after the week off to rocket up the standings. Matthew Pavlich starred in his milestone game kicking 3.3 while David Mundy and Stephen Hill got plenty of it around the stoppages. Hayden Ballantyne fired an ominous warning to his rivals kicking three goals.

GEELONG

INJURIES

Zac Bates (hamstring) 3-4 weeks

Josh Caddy (foot) 5-6 weeks

Allen Christensen (back) 3-4 weeks

Shane Kersten (knee) 1-2 weeks

Lincoln McCarthy (back) test

Daniel Menzel (knee) indefinite

Billie Smedts (leg fracture) test

Nathan Vardy (knee) season

Steve Johnson (suspension) 1 week

ON THE BLOCK: Steve Johnson copped one week from the Match Review Panel for his headbutt on Fremantle tagger Ryan Crowley, while Jackson Sheringham and Jed Bews are the likely omissions despite making the most of their chances on the weekend.

ON THE CUSP: Matthew Stokes will return from suspension while Mitch Brown and Josh Walker continue to put their hands up with strong VFL form.

ADAM BALDWIN'S FORECAST: The Cats got jumped early by a fired-up Fremantle and never recovered. Simonds Stadium will host Friday night footy for the first time and the Cats play a side they are extremely familiar with. The Cats and Roos have participated in pre-seasons together over the past few years and know each other's game innately. North Melboune has won two out of the past three encounters and Geelong will have to buck the trend of teams performing poorly following the trip west. This should be a high quality affair and the absence of Stevie J could be decisive. The Cats will start deserved favourites, but the Roos will like their chances.

GOLD COAST

INJURY LIST

Andrew Boston (ankle) indefinite

Clay Cameron (shoulder) test

Daniel Gorringe (Achilles) 6 weeks

Josh Hall (shoulder) indefinite

Jesse Lonergan (hamstring) 2-3 weeks

Jack Martin (shoulder) indefinite

Tom Nicholls (knee) indefinite

Kade Kolodjashnij (knee) test

Sean Lemmens (leg) TBC

ON THE BLOCK: Hard to fault Gold Coast at the moment and it's hard to see anyone losing their place from the team after another dominant performance. Sean Lemmens is the only concern after he was subbed from the game in the third quarter with a leg injury. Watch this space.

ON THE CUSP: Gold Coast would love to reward Karmichael Hunt with senior selection should his form warrant it. Hunt overcame concussion to be among Gold Coast's best players in the NEAFL and should he see senior action in the next few weeks it will be interesting to see how Hunt complements their midfield mix.

ADAM BALDWIN'S FORECAST: The new kids on the block have arrived and they continue to notch wins in clinical fashion. The Suns were brutal in the opening term against St Kilda with eight goals and while their midfield continues to get the plaudits, a lot can be said for their multi-dimensial forward line. Zac Smith's return from injury was a raging success and those who recall his outstanding debut season know what a boost he is. The Suns strong season should continue when they host the Western Bulldogs in Round 10. Seven wins and two losses would be the ideal launching pad for the second half of the season.

GREATER WESTERN SYDNEY

INJURIES

Jeremy Cameron (ear) available

Phil Davis (kidney) indefinite

Stephen Gilham (hamstring) test

Shane Mumford (knee) test

Adam Treloar (ankle) test

Toby Greene (suspended) 5 weeks

Nick Haynes (ankle) 3 weeks

ON THE BLOCK: Hard-nosed midfielder Toby Greene faces an extended period of the sidelines following an alleged incident outside a Melbourne night spot last week. Greene will front court in September, however the Giants acted swiftly suspending the midfielder for five weeks. Giants defender Nick Haynes is out with a broken ankle sustained in the opening minutes of the Giants' heavy Round 8 loss to West Coast. Jed Lamb was among a number of Giants to struggle against the rampaging Eagles. He finished with six disposals, while Jon Patton, Matthew Buntine, Andrew Phillips and Sam Frost played bit-part roles.

GREENE ACCEPTS FIVE-MATCH BAN

ON THE CUSP: A couple of big name ins with Shane Mumford and Jeremy Cameron set to return to take on Richmond. Silky midfielder Adam Treloar should also return along with attacking defender Curtly Hampton. Tim Mohr could be fast-tracked back into the seniors to replace Haynes despite his limited match practice following foot and knee injuries.

GILBERT GARDINER'S FORECAST: Battered and bruised the Giants return to Spotless Stadium to take on a Richmond side searching for answers after Saturday's loss to Melbourne. Mumford is hugely important for the emerging Giants, providing the silky midfielders with first use of the ball. Jeremy Cameron's smarts inside the arc was sorely missed against the Ealges and his return alone makes the Giants a 3-4 goal better team. With Richmond on its knees, the Giants can a massive boilover.

HAWTHORN

INJURIES

Jed Anderson (shoulder) indefinite

Josh Gibson (pectoral) 10-12 weeks

Luke Hodge (hamstring) available

Brian Lake (calf) 3-4 weeks

Sam Mitchell (hamstring) 7 weeks

Cyril Rioli (hamstring) 3 — 4 weeks

Jarryd Roughead (suspended) 1 week

Liam Shiels (shoulder) test

Matthew Spangher (ankle) 1 week

Brendan Whitecross (knee) indefinite

ON THE BLOCK: Josh Gibson will miss an extended period after undergoing surgery to repair a pectoral tear and Jarryd Roughead is unavailable through suspension. Ben Stratton's form is a concern, but he becomes crucial with Gibson out.

ON THE CUSP: Luke Hodge is available and Liam Shiels is some chance to return from a shoulder injury, while Matt Spangher could be brought straight back into the senior side if he has recovered from an ankle injury. Brad Sewell played in the VFL on the weekend and has also put his hand up.

HAWKS WOULD HANDLE GIBSON SAME WAY

ADAM BALDWIN'S FORECAST: We will get a strong indication of how deep Hawthorn's depth runs over the next few weeks and an away fixture against Port Adelaide presents a huge challenge. Not only do the Hawks have injuries, but it's to some of their most important players. For the first time in a while they enter a game where they aren't expected to win and have little to lose. It will be a great opportunity for Alastair Clarkson to watch some fringe players in the cut and thrust of a top of the table clash and those who can swim will put themselves in the frame to play big games at the pointy end of the season. Port Adelaide should win this one, but never overlook the ability of a champion side to get the job done against the odds.

MELBOURNE (bye this week)

INJURIES

James Frawley (hamstring) test

Jesse Hogan (back) 3 weeks

Dean Kent (calf) test

Jack Trengove (foot) season

Chris Dawes (suspension) 1 week

GILBERT GARDINER'S FORECAST: All of a sudden Melbourne is a competitive unit. And, boy do the players, members and supporters welcome the form reversal. But it's only going to get harder for the Dees with Port Adelaide next on the agenda followed by Collingwood, Essendon and North Melbourne. The Demons need solid production from lesser lights Cameron Pederson, Lynden Dunn, Dean Terlich and Matt Jones to stay within striking distance of their rivals. We know Dom Tyson is going to be jet if he isn't already, but really looking forward to seeing Christian Salem and Jay Kennedy-Harris show off their tricks in the second half of the season.

NORTH MELBOURNE

INJURIES

Ben Brown (knee) test

Tom Curran (foot) indefinite

Cam Delaney (foot) test

Jamie McMillan (broken leg) 1-2 weeks

Robbie Tarrant (lower leg) indefinite

Daniel Wells (foot) 3-4 weeks

Aaron Mullett (hamstring) test

Nathan Grima (foot) 1 week

ON THE BLOCK: Ryan Bastinac would need to put in a power of work to hold his spot after starting as the substitute against Brisbane. Bastinac has played eight games, averaging 16 disposals — his worst in five years. Scott McMahon answered the late call up putting on a solid display in the back half.

BRUISED WELLS TO MISS 3-4 WEEKS

ON THE CUSP: Aaron Mullett was a late withdrawal with a minor hamstring complaint. Brad Scott ruled out Nathan Grima (foot) on Tuesday as he continues to battle his complaint. Emerging forward Mason Wood is banging down the door for senior selection with another bag of four in Werribee's comfortable win over Sandringham. It's Wood's third bag of four to take his season tally to 16 from six games. Liam Anthony starred in North Ballarat's narrow win over Frankston and could push the likes of Bastinac for selection.

GILBERT GARDINER'S FORECAST: Last time Geelong lost two in a row was in 2012 so North better not spend too much time basking in the glory of its 87-point win over Brisbane. Usual suspects Brent Harvey (39 disposals, two goals), Sam Gibson (35 possessions) and Nick Dal Santo (34 touches) led the way while Lindsay Thomas proved deadly close to goal. They need to fire if the Kangaroos are going to inflict another defeat on Geelong - stung by its loss to Fremantle at Patersons Stadium. Drew Petrie looks on the brink of a breakout performance, kicking 1.4 while we're yet to see the best of Jack Ziebell and Scott Thompson in 2014. Skipper Andrew Swallow, playing his first senior game back from Achilles surgery, needed the run and can improve.

PORT ADELAIDE

INJURIES

Matthew Lobbe (calf) test

Mason Shaw (wrist) 2-3 weeks

Sam Russell (hamstring) 2-3 weeks

Jarrad Redden (knee) season

Lewis Stevenson (toe) 4-5 weeks

Cameron Hitchcock (shin) 6-8 weeks

Sam Colquhoun (knee) season

Tom Jonas (groin) TBC

ON THE BLOCK: Brent Renouf is likely to make way for inform ruckman Matthew Lobbe if he can overcome the minor calf injury that forced his late omission from the side that defeated Fremantle in Round 8.

ON THE CUSP: John Butcher and Jake Neade were two of the stronger performers in a strong SANFL win for Port Adelaide, while Sam Grey, Tom Logan and Andrew Moore remain on the fringes.

ADAM BALDWIN'S FORECAST: Port Adelaide has an opportunity to land a psychological blow on a wounded Hawthorn team on Friday night. Justin Westhoff spoke of the teams want and ability to remain undefeated at the Adelaide Oval this year and if they can demolish the Hawks in the fashion they have other teams this year, it will generate supreme confidence ahead of future encounters. Ken Hinkley will be working hard to ensure the Power players don't get ahead of themselves and they will appreciate the hard work that must be done to beat the Hawks, no matter what injuries they are carrying. Port Adelaide is the form team of the competition and they should get the four points in this game.

RICHMOND

INJURIES

Jake King (toe) 6-8 weeks

Chris Knights (knee soreness) TBC

Chris Newman (calf) 3-4 weeks

David Astbury (knee) indefinite

Nick Vlastuin (finger) 3-5 weeks

Liam McBean (finger) 3-5 weeks

Trent Cotchin (ankle) test

ON THE BLOCK: This could be a long list. Skipper Trent Cotchin (ankle) is confident he'll be right to play despite coach Damien Hardwick taking a more conservative approach. So many players were disappointing against Melbourne and for many it's a serious trend. Troy Chaplin and Bachar Houli are leaders at the club but they aren't showing it on the field, Ty Vickery is Ty Vickery, Shaun Grigg can find the pill but butchers it, Ben Griffiths shows signs but can't put four quarters together, Brandon Ellis has stalled in his development and Steve Morris might not be able to cut it at this level. There will be two forced changes against the Giants with Nick Vlastuin to miss a month with a broken finger and luckless defender David Astbury — one of the few Tiger improvers this year — out with another knee injury.

DELEDIO: 'ABSOLUTELY' WE CAN PLAY FINALS

ON THE CUSP: Damien Hardwick says he will reward VFL form so you can put the house on Anthony Miles being promoted from the rookie list to take on his old side. He had another 32 touches against Box Hill on Saturday as did Matt Thomas — and at least you can rely on those two to put their heads over the ball. Dylan Grimes will replace Astbury while Ricky Petterd and Brad Helbig were in the best again and Ivan Maric got through a half OK, but Hardwick says he needs a couple more weeks to be ready for AFL action.

AL PATON'S FORECAST: Oh boy. Forget finals calculations, the Tigers need to figure out how to play a winning brand of football. The slick transition that made Richmond great to watch in 2013 has disappeared, but then it's hard to get the game on your terms if you can't win the footy in the first place. Maybe some players thought the improvement curve of the past four years would continue and forgot that requires hard work. Some hard questions will be asked at Punt Rd this week and if there isn't a response against GWS there could be a nationwide power failure as microwaves go into a membership-frying meltdown.

ST KILDA (bye this week)

INJURIES

David Armitage (leg) test weeks

Sam Gilbert (foot) 8 weeks

Nathan Wright (broken leg) 8 weeks

Eli Templeton (broken arm) 10-12 weeks

Jarryn Geary (elbow) 10-12 weeks

Tom Hickey (foot) 5 weeks

Sam Fisher (hamstring) 4-5 weeks

Trent Dennis-Lane (ankle) 2-3 weeks

James Gwilt (hamstring) TBC

Luke Delaney (hip) test

Blake Acres (ankle) test

AL PATON'S FORECAST: The Saints get a week off, and they need it. A promising start to the season has turned sour with four consecutive losses as the injury toll mounts. Fans want to see effort and they got that in the second half against the Suns but, as with the week before against Carlton, it all came after the game was out of reach. An extra week won't help the long-teemers but Delaney and Acres should be right for a Round 11 date with Collingwood. In the VFL, Seb Ross (35 disposals, two goals) was the standout as Sandringham lost to Werribee. With matches against Port Adelaide (in Adelaide) and Geelong (at the Cattery) to follow, Saints fans should strap themselves in for a tough month.

SYDNEY (bye this week)

INJURIES

Alex Johnson (knee) season

Sam Naismith (knee) 1 week

Patrick Mitchell (knee) test

Lloyd Perris (shin) test

TED RICHARDS IS THE SPECIAL GUEST ON THE COUCH ON MONDAY NIGHT

GILBERT GARDINER'S FORECAST: Like Fremantle, the Sydney juggernaut is starting to purr under the steam of a rejuvenated Lance Franklin and finally fit Kurt Tippett. The twin talls are the envy of the competition, while Sydney's Kennedy-Jack-Hannebery midfield is as good as any going around.

WEST COAST

INJURIES

Beau Waters (shoulder) season

Blayne Wilson (thumb) 4-5 weeks

Mark LeCras (suspended) 1 week

ON THE BLOCK: Hard to knock anyone involved in a 111-point demolition. Mark LeCras is out after being found guilty of rough conduct, while Andrew Gaff was subbed off. Xavier Ellis was solid in his return from injury collecting seven disposals at 71 per cent.

ON THE CUSP: Experienced Eagles Patrick McGinnity and Sam Butler remain on the outer and could yet push for selection to take on Collingwood at the MCG. Will Schofield and Dom Sheed are thereabouts.

GILBERT GARDINER'S FORECAST: It's been a tale of two halves for the Eagles this season, demoralising the minnows while finding contenders too much to handle. Rookie coach Adam Simpson would be pleased with Josh Kennedy's return to form while Shannon Hurn is back to his devastating best out of defence. Matt LeCras' experience and goalkicking ability will be sorely missed against the Magpies.

WESTERN BULLDOGS

INJURIES

Tom Williams (calf) test

Tory Dickson (pectoral) 8-10 weeks

Jarrad Grant (foot) available

Josh Prudden (knee) 3 weeks

Jordan Roughead (dislocated AC joint) test

Daniel Pearce (knee) 5 weeks

Liam Jones (suspended) 2 weeks

ON THE BLOCK: Tory Dickson tore his pectoral muscle in the win over Melbourne and will miss at least two months of football. Tom Williams remains a chance to play despite injuring his calf, with scans revealing only a minor tear and Williams will play if he can get through training this week. Liam Jones will definitely be missing after taking a two-match suspension.

DOGS COULD RECEIVE DEFENSIVE BOOST

ON THE CUSP: Jordan Roughead has also made a speedier than expected recovery and he will resume full training this week with a hope of playing on the weekend. Jarrad Grant got through his first VFL hit out unscathed on the weekend before last and will also press for selection. Lin Jong, Brett Goodes, Clay Smith, Koby Stevens and Marcus Bontempelli continue to wait for their chance.

ADAM BALDWIN'S FORECAST: The Bulldogs would have enjoyed their week off after such a fighting win, but will have their hands full against one of the form sides of the completion when they travel to the Gold Coast. It's hard to see the Dogs getting the points here, but you can expect a competitive effort and if they can pinch a fourth win for the season then suddenly they are in the bunch fighting for eighth spot. The Liam Picken v Gary Ablett contest should be a ripper, but Gold Coast should get the job done easily.
