AFLW Injury Report: Round 4, 2025
AFLW High Performance Manager Eliza Morrison has provided this week’s injury update as the Tigers head down to Casey Fields to take on the Demons on Saturday.
Grace Egan: Lip, Available
"Grace suffered a lip laceration from the Bulldogs game. She had surgery last week and will be available for selection this week," Morrison said.
Bec Miller: General Soreness, Test
"Bec had some hamstring tightness after the Western Bulldogs game. With the tight five-day turnaround last week, we didn't take any risks," Morrison said.
"We are hoping she will tick off what she needs to do this week, to be available for selection."
Katie Brennan: Knee, Test
"Katie pulled up with some knee soreness from the game. We will give her as much time as possible to settle before we test her for this week's game," Morrison said.
Sarah Hosking: Hamstring, Test
"Hosko returned to matchplay via scrimmage on the weekend and will be available for selection at AFLW level, given she completes main training this week," Morrison said.
Montana McKinnon: ACL, Test
"Similar to Sarah, Montana has built up her game exposure at the scrimmage level, and given she completes main training, will be available for selection at AFLW level," Morrison said.
Aoibhin Cleary: Available
"Aoibhin relocated from Ireland three weeks ago. As she has never played Australian Rules Football, we have built her up via scrimmage minutes and are now happy for her to be available for selection at AFLW level," Morrison said.
Tessa Lavey: Hamstring, 4-6 weeks
"Tessa is moving through her progressions as planned," Morrison said.

PANIC STATIONS FOR FINALS CONTENDERS?
In a 12-round season, it’s a bad spot to be if you’re 0-3.
But that’s where both perennial finals contenders Richmond and Geelong are three weeks into 2025.
Of the 11 Fox Footy AFLW commentators surveyed pre-season, five had the Tigers playing finals, while eight had Geelong returning to the top eight after narrowly missing out last season.
Of Geelong and Richmond, Fox Footy expert Chyloe Kurdas is more puzzled by the latter’s slow start to 2025.
“Aren’t they fascinating?” Kurdas said. “On paper, they’re incredibly talented … yet you could argue they’ve been pretty well beaten in those three losses and you’ve never really felt ‘they’re right in this until the final siren’.
“I don’t know what’s going at Richmond, but I think they’re definitely underperforming for the talent they’ve got on paper.”
Asked what needed to change at the Tigers, Kurdas said: “I think they’re a bit predictable, to be honest.
“If you look at Sydney for instance and how they go inside 50, Chloe Molloy is there but they’ve got the courage to use the others. Whereas you know Richmond are going to go to Katie Brennan and Caitlin Greiser. Emelia Yassir is there as a crumber to mop up if the mark is not taken, but they’re not using others as nominated goalkickers primarily.
“If I look at Ellie McKenzie and Mon Conti, who both get so much of the ball … I feel like they need to be seen to be dangerous around the goals – and they’re just not. Therefore, I don’t think that stretches the opposition well enough and it makes the progression to goal much more predictable.”

LMAO
Perennial finals contenders
Not sure making the finals twice, once falling into 7th , constitutes perennial
But good luck to all involved
