Developing ruckman, Michael Cronan will have his work cut out for him, as he goes up against dual All-Australian Nic Naitanui who will play his first football match in 18 months.

2017 premiership winning colt, Tim Bockman, will have his first taste of league football since transitioning into the senior squad over the summer.

Liam Anthony and George Hampson return to senior footy after an injury ravaged their 2017 season.

In promising signs, Ryan Lester-Smith and Brandon Ellis are progressing well on the long-term injury list.
