Round 4 teams are out and the big news of the week is out of the West where it has been announced that Fremantle skipper Matthew Pavlich could miss 6-8 weeks of football after having surgery on his achilles.
Despite being under an injury cloud all week, Gold Coast star Gary Ablett has been named in the side that takes on Port Adelaide on Saturday night.
Jack Watts will return for Melbourne this week. They face the Giants who will both be looking for their first win of the season.
