“I tested the shoulder out a fair bit starting late last week.??
“Each day that went by it got better and better.”??
The club’s leading goalkicker sustained bruising to his shoulder in the round 21 win over Adelaide and was forced to the sidelines last week.
Nominated for this year’s All-Australian side, Didak told CTV his teammates were extremely focused during the 90-minute session.
“The boys trained well. We were all pretty quiet today. The guys are just itching to go.”
The side trained with the 31 players it is carrying through finals, including the named 25 and several experienced hands.??
“Mick picked a squad of 31. It’s pretty stock standard in finals, just in case players go down. We have a lot of depth on our list so anyone can come in and do their job.”
