Star Fremantle duo Stephen Hill and Hayden Ballantyne will be put through their paces this week to determine whether they’re ready to return in Sunday’s AFL clash with Carlton in Perth.

Ballantyne has been sidelined since tearing his hamstring during the pre-season, while Hill suffered a hamstring tear of his own in round five.

Dockers coach Ross Lyon said he’ll assess the duo this week before determining whether they’re ready to play – either at AFL or WAFL level.
