What's wrong with Western?
Mc Ardle had a report in the worst where he was describing how each draftee was doing. Appeared here in media thread I think.
Under Western it said he hyper extended his knee. That doesn’t mean he will miss games of course but it does sound horrible. It was in this article:

How WA’s draftees have fared in pre-season
Logan McDonald and Tyler Brockman didn’t take long to have an impact at the weekend, while Heath Chapman, Zane Trew and Isiah Winder featured in the pre-season derby.

Western isn't on any injury list so far and was not mentioned by Bell in his report?
I’d say he’s clinically dead then

we've learnt that any optimism the pre-season gave many of us, was cruelly dashed as usual by injuries to key players in the area of the ground we are weakest.

This is the unfortunate truth of being a Freo supporter.
I'm not leaving my fate up to chance... I'm gonna draft a key forward.

I'd love to say this is the year we surge back into finals but with our forward line I can't really see it happening.
Backline = premiership quality, in abundance.
Midfield = still a work in progress but with the young talent in there it is potentially superstar quality. I'd like to see a bit more development from Cerra in particular and maybe one more gun to step up and roll through there if Fyfe is to spend more time forward. Brayshaw and Serong look like they will kick on. Tucker is the forgotten man but now in his 5th-6th year, he could come back in and make a real difference. It could be good enough for finals even now, but;
Forwardline = a dogs breakfast. Our best tall forward still can't kick goals from 10m out. Our other tall is injured. Our best small is injured, typically. Love the look of Sturt but where the hell is he? Henry, please, yes, maybe, but I have concerns. People rag on Schultz but he will play every game this year again, he's the best we've got for that position. Like Switta but he had a long stint forward previously and couldn't buy a goal. Like the early look of Treacy but lets be honest, if we had an AFL quality forward line we wouldn't be talking about our 18 yr old rookie listed KPF firming for a debut in round 1.
Hope to get proven wrong and kick 100 points in Round 1

We need Tucker to become consistent because he is the only mid (aside Fyfe and Sonny) that regularly kicks goals from midfield.
Had some unreal quarters and halves last year but still way too many where he completely disappeared.

He always seems poised for that break out season but just teases and never delivers.
Always felt like that with Hilly too. He could have reached ridiculous heights but just lacked that bit of cockiness/aggression that his brother has. If you combined the two of them, they’d be the GOAT.

I've learnt people take a pre-season result too seriously if that counts? I think we'll be fine come Round 1 and we'll win. Melbourne aren't really that much better of a side.
Yeah they've got it backwards. Often the good teams in pre-season are the s**t teams in the premiership season...
Seriously, it's one of our great footy travesties that Hill got cut down by injury in 2017 and never really got a decent run at it since. The heights he climbed that year were at a level anyone would be happy with.
