Co-Captain Phil Davis, ruckman Dean Brogan and midfielder Rhys Palmer will all undergo fitness tests later this week ahead of Sunday’s match against North Melbourne at Etihad Stadium.

Davis hasn’t played since round five due to a back complaint but is progressing well and could play for the UWS GIANTS in the NEAFL on Sunday.

Palmer was a late withdrawal against Port Adelaide with a foot injury, while Brogan missed the match with a back injury.

Ruckman Andrew Phillips has suffered another setback with his hamstring and is expected to miss another six weeks.

Small forward Nathan Wilson will be available for selection having overcome a minor calf injury.
