SYDNEY

Key defender Jason Saddington is looking to get back into the seniors this season, despite earlier reports announcing a season-ending knee injury.

"Hopefully, I can get back and maybe play again. I suppose I have to do everything right to try to get it better," he said. "I wouldn't push it and hurt it again, but try to get it right."

Leo Barry, Stephen Doyle and Matthew Nicks all face fitness tests for the blockbuster against Collingwood.
