All four Bulldogs in health and safety protocols are tracking to be available ahead of a grand final re-match against Melbourne on Saturday night at Marvel Stadium.
Zaine Cordy, Lachie Hunter, Aaron Naughton and Josh Schache are all recovering and will push for selection upon their return to the club.
“Aaron, Josh, Lachie and Zaine have all been away from the club in the health and safety protocols and are well and feeling back to normal,” Head of Sports Medicine, Chris Bell said.
“All will integrate back into our program across this week, and we expect all will be available this weekend.”
Positively, there were no major injury concerns out of the AFL fixture against the Saints or the training session for the VFL players.
Anthony Scott continues to recover from a concussion sustained in the clash against Sydney a fortnight ago and will be assessed over the coming days.
“Anthony Scott is still being managed following the concussion that he sustained in the Sydney game,” Bell said.
“He will be assessed over the coming days to decide his return to play plan.”
Charlie Parker has suffered a setback with his troublesome hamstring and will miss the next month, while Hayden Crozier continues in the rehab, recovering from an ankle injury.
Caleb Daniel and Taylor Duryea remain a few weeks away from returning to availability.
Ruckman Stefan Martin has taken positive steps in his return to footy and will be available for selection through the VFL this week.
