Western Bulldogs defender Dale Morris needs the green light from a spinal trauma specialist to line up against St Kilda in Saturday night's preliminary final.

Morris completed a gruelling running session on Saturday as his teammates prepared for battle against Sydney.

The All-Australian pulled up pain-free and was further buoyed by a positive scan result yesterday.

A potential rematch with St Kilda superstar Nick Riewoldt looms, with Morris considered at least an 80-20 chance of playing.

Specialist Dr Peter Wilde will have the final say when Morris visits him tomorrow, armed with his latest scan.

Morris suffered a cracked vertebrae in the Dogs' Round 21 loss to Sydney, after crashing heavily to the SCG turf in a tussle with Adam Goodes.

* Just noticed this is a re-post. There is an article in todays Herald Sun (which I assumed was this one, and there is no link for) which says now that the Dogs are confident that Morris will get the green light. It also mentions that Everitt, Hill & Moles are in the mix for a spot, with Hill the most likely.
