Overview

  • Alex Pearce trained strongly at Cockburn on Wednesday and is in line for selection after coach Justin Longmuir expressed fresh confidence in his shin recovery.
  • Nat Fyfe completed a full session with the midfield group and looms as Fremantle’s substitute option against Carlton.
  • Only midfielder Matthew Johnson remains sidelined as the Dockers near a best-available lineup.
  • Longmuir said a conservative build in training and guidance from medical staff were key to minimising re-injury risks for both veterans.
  • The returns arrive as leaders Andrew Brayshaw, Caleb Serong and Hayden Young continue to drive a versatile midfield structure ahead of the September finals.
