ESSENDON'S Stewart Crameri and David Myers are in doubt for the club's important clash with Hawthorn on Friday night. ??

Crameri complained of soreness in his hamstring during last week's loss to Geelong, while Myers is struggling to recover with a calf injury.??

"Stewart experienced a little bit of tightness in his hamstring so we will take every precaution with him before selecting him to play," coach James Hird told essendonfc.com.au.??

"David got a knock to his calf during the game against Geelong and it has taken a little bit longer than expected to recover - he will be assessed over the next couple of days to determine if he's right to go." ??

Essendon will hold its final training session of the week on Thursday before picking its squad to take on the Hawks. ??

Midfielder Heath Hocking will return for the Bombers after two weeks out with suspension, while Jason Winderlich, Sam Lonergan and Elliott Kavanagh will all be pushing for senior selection.??
