WEST Coast star Ella Roberts and Carlton captain Abbie McKay are listed as tests for Friday night's huge clash.
Roberts missed the Eagles' loss to Sydney last week due to hamstring tightness, while McKay (quad) was absent from the Blues' win over Greater Western Sydney.

The duo must pass tests this week if they are to feature in a key game as the Eagles and Blues look to seal a finals spot.
"Ella's availability will be assessed over the coming days, based on how she progresses through training," West Coast high performance manager Sam Batterton said.
As confirmed on Tuesday, Sydney star Chloe Molloy will miss the rest of the season due to a back injury.
North Melbourne forward Vikki Wall has escaped a serious ankle injury and could line up against Hawthorn on Friday night as the Kangaroos eye a record-breaking 24th straight win.
