STEVEN May and Kade Kolodjashnij will make their returns from injury this Saturday in Casey’s VFL clash against Werribee at Avalon Airport Oval.
Key defender May has not played since suffering a groin injury in his sole hit-out in Round 2, while Kolodjashnij has battled concussion symptoms since Round 3.
The pair are amongst 10 Melbourne-listed players named for Casey, with Toby Bedford also a chance after being named on the extended interchange.
Notably, new recruit Kyle Dunkley has also been named for Casey, less than a week after joining Melbourne in Monday night’s Mid-Season Rookie Draft.
For Casey, Mitch Gent is also set to play his 100th game for the side.
In the second game of the weekend on Sunday, Casey’s VFLW side will take on the Southern Saints at home at Casey Fields.
Still undefeated after three rounds, the table topping Demons have selected 12 AFLW-listed players for the clash.
Last season, Casey played the Southern Saints twice, with each side claiming a win apiece.
The VFLW match will kick-off at 12.00pm on Sunday.
