ESSENDON captain Jobe Watson says while bookends Michael Hurley and Dustin Fletcher are set to miss Thursday's Anzac Day showdown, forward Stewart Crameri is a chance to return to face Collingwood.

Crameri, who was a late withdrawal with a knee injury from the Bombers team that defeated St Kilda on Saturday, did handball drills away from the main group at the Bombers light recovery session today.

Hurley was subbed out at the weekend with an ankle injury while Fletcher missed the match with a groin problem.

Watson also said prized father-son recruit Joe Daniher was " in the mix".

"Just with the short turn around being an ankle injury, there's no structural damage but five days, very difficult to get up," Watson said of Hurley.

He expected both Hurley and Fletcher to be fit to face GWS in Round 6.

Watson said the Bombers had great depth.


"I think what it is is it's creating a lot of hunger amongst the VFL guys," Watson said.

The Tackle: Robbo's take on Goddard's tears

" Pearsy' (Tayte Pears) has played for six weeks in the VFL and Gumby's (Scott Gumbleton) been the same, Hilley's been the same.

"(Nathan) Lovett-Murray hasn't been able to get an opportunity yet, Leroy Jetta hasn't got an opportunity ... When you get that competitive type of hunger out of a VFL side it means that guys not only are they in a good mindset to play when they get their opportunity but they've got to good fitness as well. At the moment it's holding us in good stead."

He expected the Anzac Day clash to be a "scrap".
