Aaron Sandilands insists there is no plan for him to only play home matches until the end of the season, and the Fremantle veteran could board the plane to face the Western Bulldogs.
Sandilands was rested from the loss to Hawthorn in Launceston after his first match in more than a year in the Western Derby, prompting speculation he would be spared road trips on the run home.
But following an encouraging effort in the one-point win over Sydney, the 36-year-old hopes to be available for the clash at Marvel Stadium this Sunday.
"No, we have no plans (not to travel)," Sandilands told AFL.com.au.
"We've got an eight-day break, so it gives us plenty of time to get the recovery in and we'll see how it goes this week."
There was doubt over Sandilands heading into the Swans clash after concerns he had suffered another calf strain from training.
But he took the opening centre bounce on Saturday night, before spending a large chunk of his 76 per cent game time stationed in attack.
Without boom recruit Jesse Hogan (navicular) and Matt Taberner (foot), coach Ross Lyon rolled the dice naming three big men over 200cm tall.
The gamble paid off, with Sandilands, Lobb and Sean Darcy winning 53 hitouts as the Dockers dominated clearances 46-22.
They also combined for 45 disposals and eight marks, while Lobb booted three goals, and Sandilands' ruck work was valuable at both ends, especially in the dying seconds as Freo held on.
"I really enjoyed having the three of us out there and obviously we’ve got some stuff we can work on, but hopefully we can keep it going," Sandilands said.
"Obviously losing a couple of key talls it just gives us a target down forward.
"When you've got blokes like Michael Walters around your feet it's pretty important to try and bring the ball to ground.
"Didn't mark as many as I was hoping but tried to compete as hard as I could."
Sandilands was thrilled Freo steadied the ship following four straight losses, and they remain a slim finals chance after matching their eight wins from the past two seasons.
"It keeps our season alive. We knew we had to keep grinding and the wheel would eventually turn," he said.
"Our training and our intensity has been there, it's just some crucial mistakes that we made. It's important we got the win.
"Obviously we've got win enough games first (to play finals), it's more getting back to the way we started playing at the start of the year and getting ourselves out of that hole.
Another September campaign would be a fitting finale to a decorated career for Sandilands, who opened up about the frustration of repeat calf setbacks keeping him out of action in what will seemingly be his last season.
The four-time All Australian and dual Doig medallist has endured a wretched run with injuries during Fremantle's rebuild, managing just 28 games since the end of 2015.
"Not so much (struggling) mentally, just more disappointment I suppose, working hard and feeling like you're getting somewhere and then having another setback," he said.
"Obviously age is there now but I always love playing the game and when you've got a young bunch of guys around who are all striving to achieve something it's easier to rock up to work every day.
"I tried to work as hard as I could in rehab. Had a really good program.
"I felt all the off-legs stuff like the boxing with our boxing coach and other bits and pieces I've been able to keep the weight and skinfolds where I needed to.
"It's just getting enough kilometres in the legs to be able to cope."
Sandilands moved well in his 98th game under Ross Lyon and went into bat for the senior coach.
"One of Ross' strengths is he takes the heat for us. It's more the players that need to take ownership of probably the last four weeks," Sandilands said.
"He delivers an outstanding gameplan and he's such a level head, regardless of how much pressure he's under.
"For us, it's important to step up for him, because he does the same for us."
