Euro-Yroke has named its 26-man extended squad ahead of Sunday's clash with Waalitj Marawar at Optus Stadium.
Mason Wood has been named to make his return in the extended squad after suffering a concussion against the Lions in Round 7.
Wood had played in every game since Round 8 of 2024 prior to entering concussion protocols, and will bring welcome veteran experience to the lineup if named.
Exiting the team will be Dougal Howard, who suffered a hamstring injury late in the contest against Carlton and is expected to miss the next 6-7 weeks.
Also forced to miss this week is Liam Stocker, who has been sidelined with foot soreness. Stocker will undergo further assessments next week, with his return to play timeline to be determined then.
Angus McLennan has been named on the field in the extended squad and will play his first game of the season if selected, while Tobie Travaglia, Arie Schoenmaker and Harry Boyd have been named on the extended bench in their bid to return to AFL action.
The final team will be announced at 5:00pm AEST on Friday.
The game will be played at 4:40pm AEST on Sunday, and will be broadcast live on Fox Footy and Kayo.
