With at least two senior spots up from grabs because of the injuries to Patrick Cripps and Simon White from last Sunday's game, the Blues hope to regain defenders Alex Silvagni and Tom Williamson after stints on the sidelines. 

Ciaran Byrne continues to push his claims for a senior recall after showing solid form in his four games at VFL level. 

Blaine Boekhorst has impressed in the past two games for the Northern Blues, gathering 36 disposals on each occasion.
