James Hird and Chris Heffernan both trained tonight and look certain to play this weekend against the Western Bulldogs.

The players were only put through a short 30-minute session but Heffernan and Hird both completed the session comfortably.

Hird was suffering from some lower back soreness after the Carlton game while Heffernan has missed the past four weeks with a strained medial ligament.

Dean Wallis will again miss this weekend.
