I can't see being assessed as fit without at least some game time.

Flying colours: Wood passes test
Experienced defender Easton Wood wasted no time proving his fitness on Friday afternoon.
It took less than a half of football for the former captain to showcase his high-flying best on his return from a hamstring injury, sitting on the shoulders of a Collingwood opponent for a second quarter ‘speccy’.
The 31-year-old played the whole game and got through with flying colours.
He had missed the Bulldogs’ AAMI Community Series match against Melbourne and scratch match against Hawthorn through injury.
“I’m very happy to get through unscathed and feel good out here, be able to hit speed and play with freedom,” Wood said post-game.
“It’s been frustrating (being in rehab).
“I did a hamstring that was meant to be about three weeks and I think it took me six in the end. I couldn’t quite get right.
“But it was a huge milestone playing a full game.”

Can he play as the 3rd tall against the Eaqles?

Three Eagles tall forwards plus Liam Ryan suggests we will have our hands full in the air. I think he needs to come in. Hopefully the onballers can protect the back 6 again coming up against a midfield missing Shuey and Yeo.

I think he can play on Darling but also that he's possibly our best option on Liam Ryan. Their forward line is probably the most dangerous one in the league and with no Crozier we are light on for non-key defensive first players.
Say Wood isn't included, how do you think we go about stopping Ryan?

Duryea or Scott. Not saying they can do the job, but they are the choices. I'm not sure if Wood's hammy would necessarily cope with trying to chase down Ryan anyway.
Scott is very disciplined, so possibly jobs like this are why he is in the 22. I would rather see Wood play as an intercept marker to try and disrupt the WC talls.

Richards hit by ankle injury
Young gun Ed Richards is set for a lengthy stint on the sidelines, after sustaining an ankle injury in a VFL practice match on Friday.
The 21-year-old was stretchered from the ground in the late stages of the third quarter.
Scans after the game on Friday showed he would require surgery, which was completed over the weekend.
“Unfortunately Ed got his ankle caught in a tackle, which caused his fibula to break,” head of medical services, Chris Bell, said.
“This injury did require surgery, which was completed on Saturday morning.
“We expect Ed to miss the next eight-to-10 weeks of football.”
The news is better for off-season recruit Mitch Hannan and yet-to-debut midfielder Riley Garcia, who will both return to full training this week.
Hannan has spent the pre-season overcoming a persistent groin injury, with Garcia working through a knee injury he picked up in the final training session before the Christmas break.
“Mitch and Riley have continued to progress really nicely,” Bell said.
“Both have completed their final stages of rehab and will reintegrate into full training this week.
“We hope that both players will return to availability in the next 10 days.”
Injury list
Mitch Hannan (groin) – 1-2 weeks
Riley Garcia (knee) – 1-2 weeks
Hayden Crozier (shoulder) – 4-6 weeks
Ed Richards (ankle) – 8-10 weeks
Toby McLean (knee) - TBC

Re: Injury List - 2021
At least Ed will be back for the second half of the season. Really hope he gets an opportunity at half back.

I think Duryea is an option for Ryan if Wood doesn't play but I think we will need a 3rd tall against them.
