MELBOURNE'S hopes of a Round 1 victory against Port Adelaide could rest on the VFL form of Mitch Clark and Jack Trengove after the pair applied to play for Casey on Saturday.
The injured pair are among as many as 10 Demons who hope to play for the Scorpions, with the AFL likely to give permission for Melbourne to give its players extra match practice.
They will be joined by father-son recruit Jack Viney, who has missed the past fortnight with a neck injury but is in line for a Round 1 debut.
Captain Trengove has not played in the pre-season because of a foot stress fracture, with Clark in a similar position after a foot lisfranc fracture.
Demons football manager Josh Mahoney said given the clash with Port was not until Sunday week, both were chances to prove their fitness. "They are progressing well," he said.
Rohan Bail's six-week absence from training with concussion ends this week, with the midfielder to meet specialists.
If scans and tests show his symptoms are gone, he will be allowed to return to training and build up for a return to football.
Mahoney said the Demons believed both Trengove and Clark could play Round 1.
"That has been their plan all along. They have built up their fitness in the last month and joined in full training and it's now time for them to play a game.
"They have both come back from significant injuries, but they are progressing well and they are ready to play games now, which is really positive. We are applying for Jack Viney to play also."
