Defenders Easton Wood and Lukas Markovic could see themselves in the mix for selection this week, facing fitness tests before Saturday’s clash with North Melbourne.
Both Wood and Markovic have been restricted to the sidelines in recent weeks rehabilitating hamstring injuries and will come into contention if given the all clear by medical staff at the week’s end.

Daniel Cross’ shoulder injury has also been confirmed as a Grade 3 AC joint and will see him restricted to the sidelines for the remainder of the season according to Medical Services Manager Andrew McKenzie.
“He’s needed to go in for surgery to repair the ligament and it will be about a three month rehab process so we won’t see him for the rest of the year, unfortunately,”
