The cavalry is on its way for Fremantle, with star trio Nat Fyfe, Hayden Young and Sean Darcy all a chance to return for Sunday's home clash with the Western Bulldogs.
The Dockers secured their first win of the AFL season with a 38-point triumph over West Coast on Sunday, improving their record to 1-2.
Fremantle skipper Alex Pearce suffered an injury scare late in the match when he appeared to hyper extend his left knee while landing.
Pearce was able to return to the field after receiving treatment, and coach Justin Longmuir declared there was nothing to worry about going forward.
And in some more good news for Fremantle, Fyfe, Young and Darcy are all in the selection mix this week.
Fyfe, who underwent knee surgery over the summer, has strung together three consecutive WAFL practice matches to prove he is ready for AFL action.
Darcy (ankle/knee) returned to full training last week, while Young is expected to be on full duties this week after recovering from a hamstring injury.
All three will play football this week - it's just a matter of what level.
"Fyfe has strung a few together, we'll see where he sits," Longmuir said.
"Sean and Youngy should be back at some level, we'll work that out during the week.
"The cavalry's coming, but I think the product we put out (against West Coast) with the team we put out was really strong as well."
Jye Amiss (four goals) and Josh Treacy (three goals) were potent in attack against West Coast, while debutant Isaiah Dudley kicked two goals.
But star recruit Shai Bolton is still searching for his first goal for Fremantle after returning 0.2 from 21 disposals.
Bolton's lead-in to the season was disrupted by a leg injury, and Longmuir feels it will just be a matter of time before the former Tiger runs hot.
"To be honest, he's probably exceeded my expectations because I've seen the low base he has come off and the intensity in which he's played at - the touch, the pressure, the tackle," Longmuir said.
"He's added something different to our centre bounce with his ability to harass and get a finger nail in.
"He's maybe searching for that first goal and probably searching a little bit too hard at times.
"But he's created a lot of opportunities. He had 10 score involvements (against West Coast) and gave a couple off. So he's tracking really well."
Caleb Serong won a record-equalling fourth Glendinning-Allan medal for his 35-disposal, 10-clearance effort, joining Dockers great Paul Hasleby at the top of the pile.
