CibbuanoKerr in doubt for Pies clash

WEST COAST midfielder Daniel Kerr remains in doubt for Saturday's clash against Collingwood at the MCG as he struggles to overcome a lower leg injury.
Kerr, who sustained the injury in the opening minutes of the AFL's Hall of Fame Tribute match earlier this month, was restricted to light duties at training on Monday.
West Coast assistant coach Peter Sumich said the club's main training session on Wednesday would determine whether Kerr and Beau Waters (groin) would line up against the Pies.
"We'll wait until Wednesday and hopefully they'll have a very good session and put their hand up,'' Sumich said.
Kerr was expected to return this week after serving a three-match suspension for headbutting Western Bulldogs veteran Scott West in round six.
Eagles skipper Darren Glass will have a light week on the track after picking up a knock to his leg on the weekend but Sumich said the key defender would be right to face the Magpies.
Sumich said Ashley Hansen, who kicked five goals for WAFL side Swan Districts on the weekend, would struggle to break back into a West Coast side that thrashed Adelaide by 50 points last weekend.
But injury-plagued midfielder Sam Butler, who has not played since the Eagles' 2006 premiership win is in line for a recall after playing for WAFL side Perth for the past five weeks.
