Lindsay Thomas has shaken off an injury concern and is expected to line up against Richmond.
Lindsay Thomas has shaken off an injury concern and is expected to line up against Richmond on Sunday after being named in the final side.
The small-forward was subbed out of last week's clash with West Coast after copping a knock to his hamstring and had a light week on the track at training. Thomas will have one final hurdle to jump when the club has its final hit-out at Arden Street on Saturday morning.
Thomas has had a solid start to the season and sits in equal 13th on the AFL goal-kicking ladder with 20.
With the number 12 in the lineup, Brad Scott and the match committee have elected to make no changes to the side that defeated the Eagles in Perth.
Sam Wright and Ben Jacobs have been named as emergencies once again, with Brad McKenzie also on standby.
