Midfielder Tom Liberatore will need to pass a fitness test on a cork before he’s considered available for selection this week, while defender Matthew Boyd put his hand up for a senior recall with another solid outing for Footscray on Sunday.
Clay Smith could come into calculations for the trip to Adelaide to face the Crows after collecting 22 disposals and laying 16 tackles against the Magpies at Victoria Park.
Running defender Bailey Williams also continues to press for selection with 19 possessions, seven marks and a goal, and second-year key defender Kieran Collins was again named in the bests and could be inching closer to a second senior game.
Draftee ruckman Tim English had 16 disposals and 24 hit-outs in another encouraging performance.
