However senior selections isn’t completely impossible according to the coach. ""We could bring him back in this week, if we wanted to,"" Kevin Sheedy said before training this evening.
It was a spirited training session as the Bombers prepare for the Round 9 match against Port Adelaide.
Dean Solomon trained well and is a good chance of returning to the senior side after missing the last two games with a corked thigh, while captain James Hird will miss one more match with his hamstring injury.
And it appears some of the young South Australian draftees are also in the running for selection and a chance to play in front of a home crowd.
""They have a chance, three of them really, Monfries, Slattery, Thomas, they are very unlucky to be out of the side and have all been playing very well and I think they will come into the side in the next week or two,"" Sheedy said.
Conceding it is his teams best chance of a victory against the Power at home for a few years, Sheedy is expecting meet a fired up Port Adelaide outfit after being defeated last week against by Sydney.
""It’s a pretty good opportunity for us, they would be disappointed in loosing last week and they will be wanting to put up their flag and fly their colours, but that’s what makes a game worthwhile going to watch.
""We have to continue on our pretty solid form of the last three weeks and hopefully put in a good performance.""
One player who contributed last week’s good performance was the return David Hille and particularly his last quarter impact.
""To have David Hille come back was a bonus for us, it settles the team down, gives us a bit of direction, it gives us a bit of height, strength and experience advantage in the ruck,"" Sheedy revealed.
