Mitch Duncan

Duncan’s run and precision by foot has been sorely missed in the Cats back-to-back losses. If he has overcome his hamstring strain, expect the star midfielder to slot straight back into the best 22.

Rhys Stanley

A late withdrawal against the Eagles, Stanley could return to the side to provide some support in attack and in the ruck.

Zac Smith

Similar to Stanley, Smith could be in contention for a recall to the senior side should the coaches feel they need some additional ruck support. In his last VFL match prior to the bye, Smith had 14 touches and 33 hitouts.

Jordan Murdoch

Unlucky to miss out against the Eagles, Murdoch could be brought into the team this week, with his speed an asset against the fleet-footed Saints outfit.

Jordan Cunico

An emergency against the Eagles, Cunico is a strong chance of receiving a recall against the Saints to provide midfield depth. The fourth-year midfielder was a standout in the VFL before the bye, with back-to-back 30 possession games.  

Charlie Constable

Has been super impressive since arriving at the club. Was dominant in his last outing against Werribee, collecting 31 touches and a goal. An outside chance to make his debut.
