Sellar 50/50 to return this week
Tall James Sellar faces a fitness test this week after missing last Friday night’s loss to Hawthorn with a calf injury
Sellar has played five matches for the Demons, from rounds two to six, this season after crossing from Adelaide via last year’s NAB AFL Draft.
Defender James Strauss is also a chance to return via Casey’s development team this round.
Strauss played in the opening VFL round this season, but has suffered concussion and missed a couple of matches, before he had ongoing leg problems, reoccurring from last year’s broken leg.
Jordan Gysberts will miss another three to five weeks with a broken jaw.
Youngster Josh Tynan is another two weeks away from returning from a foot injury.
Key position player Leigh Williams, who was forced into an induced coma following a virus on the brain, is now three weeks away from resuming.
Utility Neville Jetta (ankle), ruckman Max Gawn (knee) and rookie Michael Evans (back) are still out long-term.
