That rhymes, and you know it rhymes, admit it!

Thank-you for pointing that out.

Wellingham is still listed as 2 weeks on the AFL site today not test. So who is to be believed?

Eagles. Multiple people from the Eagles have said that Wellers is playing WAFL reserves this week.

Never trust the AFL site for injury news.

 

[Noctorniquet]

wellingham will be playing this week weather it be WAFL or WAFL ressies we will find out

 

[westcoastin]

On 6pr Woosh said he'd be playing WAFL ressies due to EP's bye.

Really, our coach is going to have a run round in the WAFL? Nice...
*that was sarcastic

Why wouldn't we play wellingham as the sub?

 

[kane249]

Whoosh could probably be a walk up start for the Peel reserves at the moment

 

[Chris_6678]

Always check this list as its a lot more reliable than the AFL main site.

Is one week in the WAFL for Wellers/Skrillex enough before a derby seniors return?

I hope so...if not play him as the sub.

Woosha would a walk up for the Peel League team after their effort last week

I know Gillard likes footy and has a lot more time on her hands now... good acquisition for Peel?

Jeremy McGovern going in for Hip Surgery this week , McGovern wont play again this season so after three seasons on the rookie list his placement on the main list could be in jeopardy depending on his recovery in the next 10 weeks .

Has promise , I think WCE should keep McGovern on there list if possible !

Yeah i did see that in the todays paper .. i agree he should be kept as he a talented player and just unlucky this year.

 

[kane249]

Apart from Masto everyone seems to be happy with his WAFL form and his development, if he had of stayed injury free at the start of the year he might have even gone close to getting a game with us.

Great news on Wellers there, get him in as the sub.

Has shown far too much in with his small opportunites to be delisted.

At the very least he offers a tradeable commodity.

Personally I hope we keep him. I think he could be the perfect foil for Naitanui when NN is fit enough to ruck Han Solo. JM can offer a solid chop-out whilst being an effective forward

Naitanui should never be burdened with such ruck loads.

 

[The Falcon Strike]

You think he should remain rucking 50%?

I don't - he should be worked up to 70% IMO with someone offering a chopout. That's a far cry from the workloads assigned to say Cox in 2010 and Sandi almost his entire career. But NN should and will (IMO) assume a time dominant ruck position.

So if that happens, we need someone who can ruck 30% and be valuable with the other 70%.

The three viable options we have are Lycett, Sinclair and McGovern. Each with their own various skillsets and shortcomings. The person to assist Nic will be the one who best complements him. We have about 18 months to find out.

I agree! Especially if it means Embers gets a full game - you know it makes sense.

Naitanui is quirky, he's a superb athlete but he's proven to have some consistent problems with soft tissue injuries, knees and back. We need someone like Cox capable of relieving Naitanui entirely of there ruck duties if need be. This gives us better flexibility to rest Naitanui forward as opposed to benching him outright for rests.

As it stands McInnes and McGovern both pinch hit, but they do it while playing true KPF or they won't get picked. Neither Lycett or Sinclair are capable of playing at the next level and will require large minutes n the ruck.

We also won't know truly how we'll cope without Cox until he's not playing for us.

They certainly are no Cox or NN, but they may come good?
