From the Eagles: Three Ds in doubt for Derby
Darren Glass, Dean Cox and Daniel Kerr could miss Saturday’s Carlton Mid Derby
Skipper Glass, who would likely line-up on the in-form Matthew Pavlich, was reported for rough conduct after collecting Lions skipper Jonathan Brown high.
He has never been missed a game through suspension and his five-year good record would reduce any charge by 25 per cent.
Eagles senior coach John Worsfold said Kerr had hamstring tightness late in the second quarter and he erred on the side of caution by not playing the brilliant midfielder in the second half.
"At half-time we chose not to put him back out there, he was a little tight in his hamstring,” Worsfold said.
"On the fact we don't think he's done anything, we'd say he's every chance to face Fremantle."
Cox was managed in the second half after hurting his left ankle in a marking contest in the second quarter.
“He was moving pretty well out there,” Worsfold said.
“We just didn’t want him jumping on that leg, but running wise he felt pretty good.”
