"Beth is back training with the team," Morrison said. 

"We still have a couple of progressions for her to tick off before playing, but we are preparing for her to be ready in the early rounds of the season."

Sarah Hosking: Hamstring, 2-3 weeks

"Sarah has been very diligent in ticking off everything in her return to play," Morrison said.

"Her last progression is longer minutes of competition, which we will continue to build over the next couple of weeks and have her ready for the early rounds of the season."

Montana McKinnon: ACL, TBC

"Montana is loving being back amongst the group," Morrison said.

"She has been working really closely with Shaun Hampson to keep exposing her to football-specific training for her ruck position.

"Montana still has a couple of tick-offs before we will expose her to full competition."
