Ben Mathews and Adam Goodes are set to play their 100th AFL games this weekend. Goodes has not missed a match since August 1999.
Lewis Roberts-Thomson was cleared of rough play after the AFL Tribunal ruled his contact with Western Bulldog Wayde Skipper was reasonable. LRT is now free to take on Port Adelaide on Saturday afternoon.

Port Adelaide has hopes of recalling four players: Matthew Primus, Stuart Dew, Matthew Bishop and Roger James.
Primus has missed five matches, Dew 10, Bishop three and James one. However, Port may be cautious with Roger James and give him another week to recover from an adductor strain.
Port coach Mark Williams has said he wants to recall Stuart Dew (osteitis pubis) straight away but given that Dew has missed 10 games, it would be a surprise. There were suggestions the long-kicking left-footer would be given the chance to find some form and match-fitness with SANFL club Central District.
Port captain Matthew Primus (hamstring) may return, but is more likely to have a run with Norwood in the SANFL.
PORT ADELAIDE INJURY LIST
Cain Ackland (hamstring) 1-2 weeks
Matthew Bishop (calf) test
Scott Borlace (hand) 1 week
Stuart Dew (osteitis pubis) test
Josh Francou (knee) season
Brent Guerra (back) test

Matthew Primus (hamstring) test
