Several Dees are locked in a battle with the clock to line up against Port Adelaide in Round 1. Heading that list is co-captain Jack Trengove and superboot Mitch Clark, who are both outside chances to resume through VFL affiliate Casey next week. You can lock Jack Viney in for a Round 1 debut regardless of whether he faces Gold Coast this weekend. The midfield terrier doesnt need another trail match to prove his worth to coach Mark Neeld after recovering from a neck strain. A fairly lengthy injury list for the Dees, but on the plus side is all could be back firing by next month.

It was looking so healthy a few weeks ago!!!!!

Looks fairly healthy as it is IMHO - nearly all those guys could be ready for Round 1, or thereabouts.

7 of those are ideal best 22 atm. 4 of them should be right by round 1, hopefully 1- 2 of Clark, Trengove or Blease come up. I didn't realise Blease's was so bad.

I am hoping we dont take anyone into round 1 with no games. If Blease, Clark, Dawes and Trenners cant play next week they should come back through Casey.

Don't worry, I was at training and Blease ran a few laps at a decent pace and then did some straight line sprinting so can't be that bad. According to Misson he has been keeping up his fitness on the bike and in the pool. Has hardly missed any of the preseason so I would be very suprised if he is not ready come round one.
