Preview **UPDATE** Changes vs. Sydney - Saturday 11.45am WST

OUT: J Darling, J Redden, J Cripps, W Schofield, S Hurn, T Hickey, J Brander
IN: O Allen, X O'Neill, J Cameron, J McGovern, J Rotham, B Williams, J Nelson


FF: L Ryan, O Allen, J Cameron
HF: J Jones, J Kennedy, T Kelly
C: A Gaff, D Sheed, X O'Neill
HB: B Sheppard, J McGovern, L Jetta
FB: J Nelson, T Barrass, J Rotham

R: N Naitanui, L Shuey, E Yeo

I: B Williams, L Duggan, T Cole, B Ah Chee


Don't really care what any of the players show in the final quarter today. Irrelevant.

If any of the ins aren't available it's easy enough to switch around. I think we'd be a better chance of winning with the side I've listed. Get Duggan/Cole to run through the middle.

Surely Darling gets dropped. If not now then he is truely untouchable. We have a ready replacement in Allen.

Redden, Cripps etc are a waste of space however our young mids are either useless or the coaches hate them.

Out: gameplan

In: contested footy


No amount of personnel changes will make a difference. West Coast have been playing a brand of footy for the past 5-7 years and it's caught up with them. It delivered a flag but has since turned them into weak players who don't want to contest the ball. The game plan is good, just not for this group any more. I still rate the Eagles as the best list in the comp - they need to go to Richmond 2017 game plan and become the hunters. Keeping on trying to play a game style that limits contested ball will end up with a high draft pick. Not what you want when you have a list who can win a flag now.

And Cole, he's not AFL standard. Unsure why he wasn't delisted last season.

Did you see Allen play last week? He didn't want the footy.

If you play semi-contested ball for a number of years it will turn a team into a soft team who forget how to win the hard ball.
 
Outs: Hickey, Schofield, Sheed, Ah Chee
Ins: Williams, McGovern, XON, Cameron
At least Ah Chee gives a s**t.

Fully expect him to get the ass ahead of the likes of Redden and Cripps, who have zero intensity and clearly don't give a s**t.
