The Bulldogs have recorded a clean bill of health out of both weekend finals, while Nathan Hrovat will be monitored this week as he looks to recover from a shoulder injury to play in Sunday’s VFL Grand Final at Etihad Stadium.
A quieter week will be a welcome change for the Club’s medical staff, as Club continues its foray into finals at both AFL and VFL level.
“It was a great weekend for the Club, obviously with the VFL team getting up, and now preparing for the Grand Final, and the AFL team preparing for a preliminary final in Sydney,” General Manager, Football Graham Lowe told BulldogsTV on Monday.
“On an even better note we’ve come through really well from an injury perspective too.”
Hrovat suffered his shoulder injury in the VFL semi-final against Essendon, and will have to pass a fitness test later in the week to line-up on Sunday afternoon at Etihad Stadium in the VFL season decider.
“Nathan injured his shoulder in the final against Essendon a couple of weeks ago, [and] we’ve been managing him conservatively and was pulled out of the game at the weekend.
“We’re going to monitor him this week with a view to making a decision on him in the coming days [on his availability for Sunday].”
