League leaders Fremantle could name an unchanged lineup for Saturday night’s match against Adelaide with skipper Matthew Pavlich likely to overcome hip soreness.
The South Australian was subbed out of the Dockers’ 73-point win over North Melbourne last round with a minor hip complaint but got through a light training session on Tuesday in Perth.
Former Glenelg midfielder Lachie Neale was another who trained away from the main group but is expected to confront the Crows at Adelaide Oval.
Nick Suban also trained strongly after suffering a heavy knock to the head against the Kangaroos.
Fremantle’s WAFL affiliate Peel Thunder had a bye last weekend, making it more difficult for coach Ross Lyon to make any drastic changes to his side.
Hard-running midfielder Tendai Mzungu may come into contention, while Hayden Crozier, Matt de Boer, Connor Blakely, Lachie Weller, Jon Griffin and Jack Hannath are all available if required.
Defenders Zac Dawson (groin) and Alex Pearce (back) are likely return to the field through the WAFL this weekend. Dawson is yet to play a game so far in 2015.
