He then missed the following fortnight but played the subsequent two games, for a total of four this season.
It adds to the good news at Moorabbin, with Dan Hannebery requiring one more VFL outing before coming into contention for senior selection and Jake Carlisle closing in on a comeback from back surgery via Sandringham.
