As reported on Monday, Peter Wright will miss Dreamtime at the ‘G after scans confirmed ligament damage to his knee from Sunday’s clash against the Dockers.

A clearer return-to-play timeline will be communicated by the Club in the coming days.

Jordan Ridley is set for a return from his calf injury next week, Lewis Hayes is also training fully and only one week away from a first game since his 2025 ACL tear, while Saad El-Hawli is also on track to return next week after missing with a broken collarbone.

The Dons take on Richmond in the annual Dreamtime clash for Sir Doug Nicholls Round on Friday night.
