CHAMPION playmaker Nat Fyfe was the undisclosed main act to a Fremantle intra-club practice match yesterday ­before a ball was even kicked.

Fyfe completed a series of 400m runs along the Fremantle Oval boundary line at a strong and sustained pace in an encouraging indication he will resume playing early next month.

The dual Doig medallist strained his left hamstring deep into a two-and-a-half hour training session nine days ago.

Scans last week indicated Fyfe would need a two-week recovery before he resumed running and training ahead of the Dockers' first NAB series summer clash with Melbourne at Fremantle Oval on Thursday-week.

Fyfe now seems on track to be available to confront the Demons after his impressive workout.

Fyfe was noticeable with his extensive running before ­engaging in a light skills session with captain Matthew Pavlich, veteran Ryan Crowley and utility Tendai Mzungu ahead of an hour-long scratch match, played in front of about 5000 fans.

Big key defender Zac Dawson remained indoors for a gymnasium workout as he ­recovers from groin soreness.

Pavlich completed a searching 90-minute running and ball skills workout and held out of playing action with rising key position hopes Michael Apeness and Matt Taberner thrown into key forward ­duties.

Coach Ross Lyon and his support staff revealed clear intentions of a possible starting line-up with an apparent "A team" of 17 players in purple jumpers against "the rest" in white, including seven top-up players from alignment club Peel Thunder.

Forward pockets Michael Walters and Hayden Ballantyne were prominent with the expected dominance from the major outfit.

Stoppages exponent ­Michael Barlow led the "B team".

Regular forward Chris Mayne was also sent into the minor line-up with a key defensive role on Taberner, who took into the last term to bag his first goal.

Veteran big man Aaron Sandilands spent the first hour up forward leaving ruck work to Zac Clarke with much of his ground support offered from Nick Suban and Matt deBoer in opposition to regular first team midfielders Barlow and Lachie Neale.
