He is named in the squad recently published. May be still injured but 100% is in the squad, which suggests a little hope he will be available for later games.

Agreed, that was my take. I think they're aiming for him to play the final game and help them clutch a finals spot.

Regardless, he'll be playing the back half of the SANFL season, likely in the seniors.
