“They’re ticking all the right boxes at the minute … they’ll go pretty close. At this stage, we’re very hopeful they’ll be right to go,” Lynch said on Tuesday.
“They’ve obviously got to get through Thursday’s session, which is our last main session before the game. They’re two absolute pros of this Club.
“We’re looking forward to, hopefully, having them out there.”
In more positive news, defenderJake Lever (hamstring), forwardsRiley Knight (Achilles) andJono Beech (calf), and midfielderDean Gore (concussion) will all be available for selection at either level this weekend.
Scott Thompson (shoulder) andBrad Crouch (hamstring) also trained on Tuesday as they edge closer to playing. Both are expected to return via Adelaide’s SANFL team before being considered for AFL selection.
