Recovery Performance

Player	Injury	Expected	Actual	Variance
Liam Ryan	Rested for the Round 23 game against Richmond — St Kilda listed him as managed in their team changes. No body region specified.	Aug 20	Aug 20	0 days
Jack Silvagni	Dislocated shoulder early in the final quarter while attempting a smother against Sydney; the joint went back in on the ground. Coach Ross Lyon said the club will take no risk, relaying that Silvagni recalled dislocating the shoulder once before and playing the following week. The record shows that earlier episode was a subluxation of the same shoulder in Round 1 2021 at Carlton, after which he missed a game and returned in Round 3, then re-injured it in Round 4 and needed a minor procedure.	Aug 9	Aug 9	0 days
Dan Butler	Managed rest — listed among St Kilda's Round 21 outs as managed. Expected back the following week.	Aug 9	Aug 9	0 days
Cooper Sharman	Calf injury — pulled from the Round 20 side against North Melbourne about an hour before the first bounce and replaced by Dan Butler. St Kilda now carry him on the injury list with a calf complaint and a fitness test pending.	Aug 9	Aug 9	0 days
Rowan Marshall	Back spasms during the warm-up before Round 20 against North Melbourne — withdrawn about five minutes before the first bounce and replaced by Anthony Caminiti.	Aug 1	Aug 1	0 days
Campbell Lake	Calf injury — ruled out of the Round 20 game against North Melbourne. He played Round 19 against Geelong, so the injury arose in the training week that followed; no return timeline has been given.	Aug 1	Aug 1	0 days
Jack Macrae	Managed (load management) — rested for the Round 17 clash with Essendon, tagged managed in the St Kilda team changes.	Jul 11	Jul 11	0 days
Tom De Koning	Broken rib and a punctured lung after a heavy hit in the second quarter of Round 15 against the Western Bulldogs (2026-06-21) — did not return and was taken to hospital. St Kilda confirmed the fracture and lung injury when naming him to return in Round 20.	Jul 26	Jul 26	0 days
Alex Dodson	Adductor strain — 1 week. AFL R16 Medical Room (June 23, 2026).	Jul 11	Jul 5	-6 days
Dougal Howard	Moderate-grade calf strain sustained against Fremantle (R11, left game in Q3). Missed Round 12 vs Hawthorn.	Jul 16	Jul 5	-11 days
