Dont know if they will drop both LeCras and Morton. Suppose it will depend on how Morton goes in the WAFL this week.
I hope they drop one of Morton or LeCras and Fletcher
What would you give to see embers with 2 seasons (50 games) without getting an injury or having a fitness issue.
I think it would be a beautiful thing... The injury monster needs to give the kid a break, theres only so much you can take.

At least 4 out of LeCras, Morton, Brown, Hurn, Rosa and Priddis won't be in our round 22 team. Mark it down and pull it out when I'm right so I can bask in the glory of my awesome powers.

The bolded ones will be out.
Along with Fletcher.
Hansen, Cousins, Nicoski, Embley and Waters to come back in.

Scotland would you pick Fletcher in front of Rosa or Hurn?
On form ATM I think those two offer slightly more than Fletcher.

Rosa MAY potentially get squeezed out as others come back, but I think Hurn offers something different to the likes of Fletcher, Priddis and Rosa.

No, I wouldn't. However when it comes to the crunch of finals football I think the coaching staff will run with experience over youth.
I would hold off on Nicoksi a bit...give him another week in the wafl...how did he play this week??

Hurn, Rosa >>>>> Fletcher (finals experienced or not)

Chances of everybody being fit are pretty slim so atleast one or two of the 50/50 players will play.

Brett Jones was a borderline player last year when he replaced Nicoski (in Woosha's eyes anyway, I never understood why he wasn't a regular), but he's definitely cemented his spot now. I'd like to see Wirrpanda moved to the backline, and Nicoski playing off a half-forward flank, at the expense of Chad Fletcher. I think our backline is pretty settled now, and Nicoski isn't really required. If Nicoski does play back, then move Hurn onto the half-forward flank.
Nicoski's goal in the 2005 Grand Final was probably the only highlight for me :o
Embley for Morton or LeCras. Whoever manages to keep their spot out of those two will be replaced by Cousins anyway :D

In - Nicoski, Embley
Out - Fletcher, Lecras
perfect replacements.

The problem with that is that if you're talking about LeCras making way, then you don't think his spot has already been set aside for Waters for next week.
...So who goes out for Waters? (or are you deliberately leaving him out?)

The only thing about Fletch getting dropped is it won't happen. He would be the first out for Nico, Embers, Beau and even Butler in my mind, but we all know Fletch is a bit of a favourite with the match commitee. How many times in the last couple of years should he have been dropped?
The guy's who will go out will be the usual young guy's like Brown, Le Cras, Morton and don't be surprised if Hurn goes out.
Don't forget Chick is to come back as well. Not a good time to be a fringe player at the Eagles over the next couple of weeks.

Agree, especially on Nik replacing Fletcher.

Rosa MAY potentially get squeezed out as others come back, but I think Hurn offers something different to the likes of Fletcher, Priddis and Rosa.
With this senario we would be able to keep giving Judd and kerr a break which would do wonders for the long seasons and travel factor.

pretty sure he was back last week?
Butler is another one he needs to be taken into consideration. Had a great end to last year and deserves another chance. Gonna be tough times for the match comittee to make these changes.
If Nicoski hasn't played for over a year, surely you'd give him more than one or two games at WAFL level?
Exactly theres no need to rush him back in when our defense has been quite awesome. He's been good in the WAFL without being great so give him the time he needs.

It's a great position for the club when you have to drop three or so players who all deserve to be playing AFL footy.
Spoiled for choice, we are.

Agree, Fletch would be one of the first I'd drop, but it simply won't happen I'm afraid.
Forget Butler, he's gone for the year unfortunately.
Don't think Brown will miss until Hansen or Graham come in, unless we play a side with less talls than the norm. We just need him for our structure.
Le Cras and Morton will be the first 2 out IMO. Embley and Nico to come in.
If Waters comes up which he's no certainty of doing, then one of Hurn or Rosa will miss.
And Chick's played the last 2 weeks fwiw
