Lachie Henderson
Missed the loss to Gold Coast on Saturday night after copping a knock in the warm-up. Will be tested later this week. 

Tom Stewart
Travelled to Gold Coast as an emergency for the AFL side but wasn't required. Will be very much in the mix to return for this weekend's clash with Essendon at the MCG.

Tom Ruggles
Was among the VFL Cats' best players in their loss to the Box Hill Hawks at Simonds Stadium on Saturday, amassing 28 disposals and kicking a goal. Is certain to come into calculation if the match committee feel they need to bolster the backline.

Zac Smith
In a similar boat to Stewart. Was taken to the Gold Coast as back-up but wasn't required. Will push his case on the training track in the coming days.

Scott Selwood
Has been steadily increasing his game-time in the VFL and is nearing a return to the AFL team. Tallied a team-high 32 disposals in the VFL Cats' loss to the Box Hill Hawks at Simonds Stadium on Saturday. Also laid four tackles and kicked a goal.

Jake Kolodjashnij
Like Selwood, Kolodjashnij is building up his workload in the VFL after an interrupted pre-season. Finished Saturday's loss to the Box Hill Hawks with 16 disposals and six rebound 50s.
