“He’ll be right to play,given that he gets through training,” said Docherty.
He played 13 games in 2020 and kicked 21 goals,including two bags of three in rounds six and seven and a bag of four in round 17.
McKay is an important cog for the Carlton forward line with Charlie Curnow[knee] targeting a mid-season return while Mitch McGovern (back) won’t play round one.
Eddie Betts (calf) is also available for selection,as is Levi Casboult.
“He[Betts] played last week so he will be available selection,it’s just whether it gets picked,” Docherty said.
Their opponents Richmond will also be able to select Dion Prestia (hamstring) and Tom Lynch (toe) for the match. The pair did not play in theAAMI Community Series match against Collingwood.
