Any word on Newman, Tunbridge and Mascoulis.

I know the second two played in week 1, but to not see any of them since was a bit frustrating I'll admit. Priorities I guess, not complaining against the performances or results, but anybody know why we didn't get them more of a crack (especially Newman).

Swannies, what's going on with Newman? I heard he had a cut on his arm a month or so ago. Must've been some cut.

Yes, I'd also like to know - 'tis all very mysterious, like he's been whisked away to another planet or something!

After hearing Burns rave about his potential, he was one of the players I really wanted to see in the NAB. It's gotta be more then a cut.
 
With 3 weeks to go, I don't think the Eagles are in bad shape. A few may be missing for Round 1 probably, but there is a bit of depth now that we didn't have a couple of seasons back. Most players have had a decent hit out and most look pretty sharp. It is far better to be patient with injuries right now and not convert them into season-long problems. We should be highly compeititive right from the start, even if there are a few still getting niggles right come round 1. I wouldn't worry about Newman; he was never going to figure heavily this season - he will need to develop physically whilst playing a lot of WAFL this year (and maybe next as well).
 
Naitanui is over in melbourne seems a little weird for a monday during pre-season. I just hope it's not complications with his shoulder :(.

the boys that haven't been playing NAB cup have been playing WAFL practice matches, so maybe the club thought it would be better development wise for them to get a full match there instead of a quarter at afl? not sure....
 
Sheppard's going to get scans on an ankle, but they said he might be right to play on the weekend. I doubt we'll risk playing him anyway.

Mascoullis hurt himself in a WAFL scratch Match two weeks ago and haven't heard anything about the type of injury since and Newman has a cut arm and I remember 12 months ago he had a major operation to mend a severed tendon in his wrist ,might be related but doubt it .
