Team Tips: With both the senior and reserves sides coming off the bye, everyone at Tigerland should be refreshed and ready to attack the back half of the season.
Jayden Short unfortunately won’t put his hand up for a return as he continues to deal with a complex calf injury. High-performance boss Ben Serpell says he’ll miss one more week.
If Adem Yze wants to give young rebounder Kaleb Smith a spell, James Trezise could be the man he calls on after being an emergency in Round 13.
First-year forward Jasper Alger continues to press for an AFL debut, having slotted three goals from 16 disposals in the VFL in Round 11, with Tyler Sonsie and Steely Green possibly facing omission.
Noah Balta is eligible to face the Bulldogs given the 3.20pm start time, and with Campbell Gray out of action for an indefinite period due to a knee injury, Jacob Blight poses as next-in-line in terms of key defensive depth.
Yze’s match committee could look to forward Mykelti Lefau for a recall after completing his ACL recovery, with both of Jonty Faull and Tom Sims — who each recorded negative player ratings against the Swans — possibly due for a spell.
The heartbreaking news from last week was the repeat ACL injury suffered by Judson Clarke — whose senior return was at the time imminent. Sam Lalor will soon be in the frame for a return following his hamstring setback, but that still won’t be for at least a week, maybe more.
