A number of players are pushing for elevation to the AFL team for Thursday night's big clash with Geelong at Optus Stadium in Perth.
Jordan De Goey
Was ruled out of the round six win over Hawthorn, then headed straight to the Pies' Perth hub. Looms as an important inclusion given the Cats' strong defensive set-up.
Josh Daicos
Missed the win over the Hawks due to an ankle issue picked up during a training session in Sydney. Trained strongly in Perth on Tuesday and looks set to return to face Geelong.
Tyler Brown
Was omitted from the AFL team that beat the Hawks but remains very much in the mix for selection to take on the Cats.
Darcy Cameron
Was among the emergencies for the win over Hawthorn and hasn't put a foot wrong in the reserves scratch matches.
Josh Thomas
Like Cameron, Thomas has been a regular on the emergency list for the AFL team. Continues to press his case in the reserves games and on the training track.
Brayden Sier
Is knocking on the door with good performances in the reserves.
John Noble
Was a regular in the AFL team during the early rounds of the season, before losing his spot for the round five clash with Essendon. Did his chances of a recall no harm with a strong performance in the reserves last weekend.
