Dustin Fletcher is continuing to train but faces an uphill battle to be fit for Sunday’s match against Collingwood. 

The 40 year old has been restricted by an abdominal problem he sustained earlier this season. 

“Dustin’s a lot better, his biggest problem is he hasn’t done a lot of kilometres,” Club Doctor Bruce Reid.

“He’s out there training today.  

‘The biggest problem for ‘Fletch’ is he won’t play if he doesn’t think he can play well.”

The Club’s medical staff will continue to monitor Fletcher throughout the week.

Fletcher has played seven games this season but hasn’t featured since playing his 400^th match in round nine against Richmond.
