RUCKMAN Matt Lobbe will have to prove his fitness at training this week if he is to face Sydney at Adelaide Oval on Saturday night.
Lobbe was a late withdrawal against Fremantle with quad tightness, but High Performance Manager Darren Burgess says Lobbe will be given every chance to play against the Swans.
“He’ll work his way back into full training this week,” Burgess said.
“He’ll be given until training on Friday to prove his fitness.”
Burgess confirmed Alipate Carlile would be fit to play this Swans, despite being subbed off against Freo with cramp.
Travis Boak will also be available after copping a minor knock during the final quarter.
Meanwhile, Andrew Moore will be available for selection in Round 2 having overcome a corked hamstring.
Mason Shaw is another week away from his groin being cleared.
