But key defender Jason Morgan is still in doubt with a lingering leg injury.
Whitford and Depasquale have missed several games through injury and Dillon two games with glandular fever, but are automatic selections if they pass fitness tests this week in preparation for the clash in which the loser gets a double chance.
Kyabram beat Rochester in their one meeting this season, but had to pull out one of its trademark last-quarter bursts to do it.
Bombers co-coach Corey Carver said he had the utmost respect for Rochester and his players would have to perform at their best or close to it to get the win.
‘‘They have good players all over the ground and several potential match-winners we’ll need to keep a close check on to improve our chances,’’ Carver said.
But Carver is confident if the Bombers produce their best it will be enough to win.
‘‘We know it will be a tough contest, but we are ready for it.’’
• In the reserves clash at Benalla on Sunday, August 31, Kyabram will meet Shepparton Swans, the team it beat narrowly last Saturday to finish on top of the ladder as the minor premier.
The Bombers may get a boost from players dropping back from the seniors, but are still going to have to earn a win.
• The Kyabram thirds have a massive assignment on Saturday at Rochester against the hot flag favourite Shepparton which has dropped only one game this season.
But under co-coaches Peter Ryan and Mark Patten, Kyabram has made steady improvement as the season has progressed and looks capable of throwing out a serious challenge.
