Blues, Tigers near full strength

CARLTON and Richmond meet on Thursday with both teams almost at full strength, as the Tigers try to snap a nine-match losing streak against the Blues.

David Astbury (foot), Dylan Grimes (hamstring) and Nathan Foley (achilles) are the only Tigers unavailable for selection.

Foley is expected to return in Round 5-7 and Grimes is already playing in the VFL, while Astbury is still several weeks away from recovering from a foot stress fracture.

The Tigers said yesterday that Dustin Martin, who pulled up sore last week, would play against the Blues.

Carlton coach Mick Malthouse will have just Jarrad Waite (calf) out of his best line-up.

Richmond's nine-match losing streak includes four Round 1 contests and is the longest against Carlton since the Tigers lost their first 24 clashes to their arch rival from 1908 to 1917.

FREMANTLE captain Matthew Pavlich says he will be fit to take on the Western Bulldogs in Round 2 despite spending the night in hospital after splitting the webbing on his left hand.

Pavlich tweeted a photo of his bandaged hand yesterday, saying "No breaks and looks good for Round 2".

He must first survive a report for charging West Coast's Will Schofield.

The Dockers fear Aaron Sandilands will need surgery on his torn hamstring tendon and will miss much of the season.

WEST Coast has confirmed Mark LeCras will miss up to six weeks after breaking his arm in a collision with Docker Tendai Mzungu.

Eagles coach John Worsfold confirmed defender Will McKenzie had suffered a "low-grade hamstring" strain.

ADELAIDE defender Luke Brown has bone bruising but no fracture in his foot after being carried off on Friday. He is in doubt for the trip to Brisbane in a fortnight.
