CO-CAPTAIN Patrick Cripps will be available for selection this Sunday against Port Adelaide.
There were worrying signs for the midfield gun when he left the field in the first quarter with a shoulder injury.
However, the 25-year-old was able to see out the remainder of the game, producing six centre clearances despite the injury in the 52-point win.
Director of High Performance Andrew Russell said Cripps would lead the team out alongside Sam Docherty on Sunday.
Crippa had a minor episode to his shoulder during the game: he got it strapped, came back on and had really good strength, Russell said.
He settled down well, trained today and there is no issue whatsoever: hell train fully on Friday and play.
He is likely to be joined by Marc Murphy, although the veteran will have to face a fitness test later in the week to determine his availability.
It was a special occasion against Essendon, and were doing it all again in Round 8.

The two-time John Nicholls Medallist injured his hip in the final minutes of the Round 6 win.
He is a little bit sore, hell be a test for this game, he said.
I think hell probably get up but he needs to get through training for the whole week. If he does, hell play: if he doesnt get through, he wont.
