Western Bulldogs forward Cody Weightman has been placed on the inactive list for the entire 2025 season due to a persistent knee injury, following surgeries for a congenital condition. This decision opens a second spot on the Bulldogs’ list ahead of the mid-season draft. Meanwhile, Gold Coast Suns’ Mac Andrew has a diagnosed ankle sprain and is showing improvement, with his availability for the upcoming match against Fremantle still to be confirmed, while Hawthorn’s Luke Breust is also in contention to return from a back issue for their clash against Collingwood.
