Ahead of Round 15 against Fremantle Docker, AFL Media's Michael Whiting takes a look at who's likely to play:

After missing last week with a shin injury, Dan McStay should be available this week, as should Mitch Robinson, who has missed two matches with a broken toe. 

Claye Beams was prolific in the NEAFL, collecting 31 touches and four goals. Ben Keays also impressed with 30 disposals, five tackles and three goals.

Also in the NEAFL, Rookie Jake Barrett had 28 disposals, while Jacob Allison, Cedric Cox and Corey Lyons had 24 each. Both Sam Skinner and Toby Wooller looked solid in their first game of the season.

Spectators could expect youngsters Cam Rayner and Zac Bailey to be rested in coming weeks after playing all games since their Senior debuts. It would not surprise if Chris Fagan decided to rest one of the young players for the long trip to Perth.

Last year Fagan opted to rest three young players for the trip west, but that was late in the season, not just two weeks after the bye. 

Vice-captain Harris Andrews will be re-assessed in two weeks after copping his big hit against the Giants, while Darcy Gardiner will have to get through training to prove he has fully recovered from an ankle niggle last Saturday.

The verdict? Seems pretty straightforward with McStay an ideal replacement for Andrews, shuffling Josh Walker back to the forward line, and Robinson returning if he passes tests.

AFL Media's Ben Guthrie predicts Fremantle's 22-men side for Sunday's clash in Perth:

Michael Walters has served his one-game suspension and will return to the line-up against the Lions, while Alex Pearce is a very slim chance to return from a broken thumb.

Veteran Hayden Ballantyne is under pressure to retain his spot, while youngsters Ryan Nyhuis and Darcy Tucker were quiet against Carlton.

Pearce and Bradley Hill will have to undergo tests to prove their fitness for this weekend, although Hill still has to serve his one-game suspension for breaching the Club's alcohol policy.

Walters to replace Ballantyne. Pearce will return if he's cleared to play, but that appears unlikely, with one of Nyhuis and Tucker to make way for the star defender.
