All-Australian defender Luke Ryan says the Dockers are fortunate to have depth in their defensive stocks after key personnel were ruled out of the round six match against the Blues due to the AFL's health and safety protocols.

COVID reached the Fremantle playing group after they lost assistant coaches Josh Carr and Matthew Boyd on Tuesday, with defenders Heath Chapman and Hayden Young, alongside Liam Henry and Matthew Johnson, joining Connor Blakely on the sidelines due to being close contacts.

Ryan, in his regular Thursday segment on 6PR Breakfast, told host Gareth Parker his RATs and PCRs were clear and not training with the main group was just an extra precaution ahead of a massive fixture against Carlton at Optus Stadium on Saturday night.

"Yeah I'm sweet to go, I'm just staying away from the group for a bit, because Nathan wilson was over at my house and he was playing WAFL (for Peel)," Ryan said.
