Geelong will eagerly await fitness tests of Tom Hawkins and Paul Chapman leading up to Friday nights blockbuster against the unbeaten Essendon. Although neither are certain to start on Friday it’s believed the Cats are confident that both will be available for the match at Etihad Stadium.

Meanwhile Essendon boasts the healthiest list in the competition at the moment with Heppell, Hurley, Fletcher and Carlisle all available for selection this week. Brent Stanton is doubtful to play given the Bombers 6 day turn around from their clash with GWS last weekend.

Richmond will face Port Adelaide in what will be an important test for both sides on Saturday. The Tigers are hopeful Ty Vickery will pass a concussion test later in the week to make him available to play while Ivan Maric is an outside chance to play with an ankle injury.
