Medical Services Manager Andrew McKenzie said Dickson got through the game at Williamstown comfortably and will be available for senior selection for Saturday night’s return fixture against the Tigers at Etihad Stadium.
“Tory has come in well today, he got through the game comfortably. He’s been training for a couple of weeks so we are confident he will be good and is coming [along] well,” McKenzie said.
Another two young Bulldogs are expected to return to football this weekend via the VFL, with Lin Jong and Ayce Cordy both overcoming leg injuries to rejoin the main group.
Jong is set to play his first game since round two of the VFL where he broke his leg while Ayce Cordy will make his return after rehabilitating a fibula stress fracture.
“Ayce and Lin have both completed a good couple of weeks of training and are ready to go so they will be available this week,” he said.
After being on the receiving end of a heavy hit from power forward Travis Cloke, midfielder Koby Stevens will also be monitored during the week.
“Koby copped a big knock from Cloke yesterday, he was sore at the time but he’s actually come in quite well today,” he said.
“We will monitor him through the week and will see how he goes further in the week.”
