Tom Lonergan
Missed the loss to Collingwood after failing to fully recover from the concussion he suffered against the Crows in round eight. Is all but certain to return for Sunday's clash with Carlton at Etihad Stadium.
Lincoln McCarthy
Was sidelined last weekend by a hip flexor problem. Will push his case on the training track this week and is rated a strong change to return to face the Blues.
Billie Smedts

Jordan Murdoch
Was a solid contributor in the VFL win over Frankston. Finished the game with 19 disposals, five marks and a goal.
Josh Cowan
Has been stepping up his performances in the VFL in recent weeks. Racked up 20 touches and kicked a goal against the Dolphins on Sunday.
Nathan Vardy
Has been battling to find his best form in the VFL. Finished the clash with the Dolphins with eight disposals, nine hit-outs and a goal.
