JACK Viney is almost certain to debut for Melbourne against Port Adelaide next Sunday after a strong performance for Casey Scorpions today.
And the Demons have not given up hope that Mitch Clark and Jack Trengove could also play after both players got through three quarters unscathed of the game against Port Melbourne at Casey Fields.
Viney was one of the Scorpions' best players while Clark and Trengove were a little rusty after long layoffs.
Demons football manager Josh Mahoney confirmed Viney would likely make his debut next weekend, while Clark, Trengove and Chris Dawes (who did not play yesterday) would be assessed over the coming days.
"We were keen for him (Viney) to get one more (game) in and he played really well," Mahoney said.
"We would be expecting him to be very close to playing (in Round 1)."
Mahoney said Clark, Trengove and Dawes remain a chance to play, but the Demons would have to wary they do not take underdone players into the clash with Port Adelaide.
"They are a chance to play," he said. "It will be an interesting week - we will have some decisions to make."
Clark kicked one goal in his first game since a foot reconstruction after Round 13 last year.
He attacked the ball - and at times his opponents - with intent, but was sometimes frustrated by the opportunities that were presented to him.
Trengove looked a little underdone after overcoming stress fractures and struggled to have an impact.
Both he and Clark left the field midway through the last term.
Dean Kent, who had impressed the Demons during the pre-season, was reported after an incident just before quarter-time.
Meanwhile at Frankston, Adam Schneider put his hand up for selection in St Kilda's Round 1 side with a second strong performance for Sandringham in two weeks.
