O’Loughlin said his 23-strong BFL squad had come through Saturday’s round without any significant injury issues.
Sunbury defender Adam Short did suffer back soreness in the Lions’ one-point loss to Darley.
Sunbury coach Ben Jordan said Short was keen to represent the BFL and would be checked out by a physio.

Short joined a recovery session attended by all squad members at St Patrick’s College on Sunday.
O’Loughlin said with it being the first time the squad was together it had also been an opportunity for players to get to know each other.
He said he was impressed how well they had gelled given there were so many new players in the squad, and also new to the BFL.
“There was a great vibe and plenty of energy.”
The squad will have training sessions at Darley on Tuesday and Wendouree on Thursday.
