According to reports in The Age, Pucovski could play in the coming season and has made his intentions clear to Victoria coach Chris Rogers.

“There’s conversations that are happening in the background. Will has indicated he wants to keep playing,” Rogers told SEN.

“We just have to weigh up everything that is happening at the moment. He’s been in and around the Junction Oval a few times over the four days of the Shield game, and he’s coming in tomorrow (Thursday) to have a chat and we will see how he’s going.

“He’s pretty hopeful. We just have to have those conversations and make sure everything is OK. I’m sure that will play out.”
