In more promising news, key defender Brandon Zerk-Thatcher is looming to be available for Sunday’s round four clash against GWS.

While Zerk-Thatcher (ankle) will have a slightly different training program, McPherson said the hope will be both players are able to play this weekend.

‘Thatch’ has progressed well over the weekend. The plan will be for him to complete some modified training over the next couple of days, before having him train fully on Friday and then be available for selection,” he said.
