Byrne is expected to make his much-anticipated return in the VFL against Coburg this Saturday. The Irishman, who has been sidelined since rupturing the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee in round 15 last season, has been in full training for about three weeks. He will be on limited game time when he resumes and build up gradually. Jones, who injured his left ankle late in the Northern Blues' win over Sandringham on May 20, is available. - Howard Kotton

Bennell is still about a month away from a long-awaited return to the field. The plan was for him to be available within the next fortnight. Star ruckman Sandilands will miss the trip to Brisbane, while Langdon will also remain in Perth as he battles a knee problem. - Travis King

Bews was unable to move off the straight line due to his ankle injury and was ruled out after the final training session for the week.

Thomas will be eligible to return next week, but will almost certainly resume where he left off: in the VFL. - Marc McGowan
