Jye Caldwell will be a test ahead of this weekend’s game against Walyalup, after the midfielder missed last week due to an ankle injury he sustained in round eight.

As reported on Sunday, young Don Dyson Sharp dislocated his shoulder during the third quarter of Saturday's match against the GIANTS. Scans conducted this week confirmed surgical intervention will not be required at this point in time. 

Rather, Sharp will complete a four-to-six-week strengthening program before being available for selection after the mid-season bye.

Liam McMahon suffered an ankle injury during the third quarter of Sunday’s VFL match, expected to spend four-to-six weeks on the sidelines.

As reported earlier, Zak Johnson suffered a broken foot against GWS and will miss a large portion of the 2026 season.

Mason Redman and Nick Bryan both made successful returns into the AFL side over the weekend, Bryan’s first senior game since rupturing his ACL last year. 

The Dons will name their side on Thursday night to take on Fremantle for the first weekend of Sir Doug Nicholls Round.
