* Maric - started running on the Alter-G treadmill. He'll progress on that over the week and then hopefully we'll get him outside next week and we'll go from there.
* Jackson - due to play in the VFL this week. We'll get some game minutes into him as we need to build up his match conditioning before he's right for AFL selection. He's had a good couple of weeks and he's finally back on track.
* Dea - returned from ankle injury and picked up another injury breaking four bones in his knuckles. He'll need surgery on Thursday and be out for six weeks. He'll be able to do running and work on his conditioning a week after surgery when the hand wounds have healed but he won't be able to mark, handball or handle the footy for a period of time.
