READ: Reserves scratch match revew - Pies v Saints

Adam Treloar
Has recovered from his calf strain and returned to action in Saturday's reserves scratch match against the Saints. The match committee and fitness staff will now weigh up whether to bring him straight back or give him a run in this week's reserves game against the Bulldogs on Saturday.

Mason Cox
Took 13 marks and kicked a goal in the reserves game against the Saints on Saturday. Also spent some time in the ruck. Will push his case on the training track this week.

Josh Thomas
One of two players omitted from the AFL side for the clash with St Kilda, Thomas was a strong performer in the reserves scratch match, finishing with 18 disposals and two goals.

Brayden Sier
Among the emergencies for the AFL game against the Saints, Sier continued his solid form in the reserves on Saturday, racking up the disposals in the midfield and looking a picture of fitness.

Travis Varcoe
Was among the Pies' best players in the reserves game against the Saints. Rebounded strongly off half-back and looks back to full fitness after shoulder surgery earlier this year.
