Wc prediction IN Sinclar, Barrass, Newman. OUT McGovern, Lecras, Butler (sore) if fit Mcginnity goes out #westernderby

Wouldn't mind those changes even if Newman has not set the world on fire i think if given a chance on the big stage he might surprise a few people with being given a second chance.

I do not like having Mcginnity, Hutchings & Scooter all in the same team and i were to choose two it would have to be Hutchings & scooter. Scooter to tag Hill and Hutchings on Neale.

Newman in would be a huge risk. Surely he meant Nelson?

Not only has Newman not played AFL for a long time, he's not even in great form. I don't mind us playing him eventually, but wait until he's got some steam up before bringing him into the furnace

Even though he has been elevated there is no way Newman will come in. Pretty sure he meant Nelson who is playing some great footy at the moment.

 

[Biggie]

Bring back Nelson

 

[eagles rule]

Bring back Nelson

Har har haha

 

[Belltower]

Ross has just advised that Sandi was decapitated in a freak lawn bowling accident. Ross said the injury is "significant" and he will see how he trains on Friday before deciding whether he'll play or not.

Lyon name is perfect. He is an absolute liar

Agreed I don't like Selwood, Hutchings and Ginners all in the same team boy I miss Duggan

Ins' Nelson (Dash), Hill (Polish), Sinclair and Barras
Out: Ginners, Lecras, Butler, McGovern

Selwood is very lucky that Duggan is injured otherwise will be out the door.

 

[Suma Magic]

I think all Dockers will play except McPharlin who may miss.

 

[Le Class]

Would love to see Lamb in for Lecca

 

[kaiserchief13]

Changes - Newman in to replace LeCras, Barrass in to replace McGovern, Sinclair in to replace McGinnity and Nelson in to replace Butler if not fit.

Who is the small forward if he meant Nelson? Someone needs to replace LeCras in his position of half forward/wing.

 

[lewigie]

Newman has been held over as an emergency for a game or two this year, it's not too far fetched to think he might play.

Apparently he's been killing it in the nets.

Nets?

 

[WCErevival]

Newman wont play he has been average the last couple of weeks. Hasn't kicked a goal for a while either.

 

[Spoon_Man]

Nets?

Have you seen how green the Subi surface is? If we win the toss i'd be stunned if we didn't bowl first...

Good for a solid 30?

Newman might be able to sit deep in the pocket all game and hope he gets a cheap goal or two, but if it's a HFF/Wing replacement we want, then I'd suggest Nelson would be better equipped than Newman, given Newman has never played up the ground in an AFL match, let alone the fact he hasn't ever experienced the kind of pressure that the game will be played at.

Nelson has AFL experience in a derby and in tight matches against Port Adelaide and North Melbourne. He kicked 2 goals last week - Muzza hasn't kicked a goal since Round 13.

Cripps is our #1 small forward - we can rotate Masten, Hutchings (and McGinnity if he's retained) on the HFF. Nelson replaces Butler (according to the original tweet).

I'm assuming it's some kind of prison talk.

 

[Quinz]

Don't know if Newman is ready.

The game the same, but it got more fierce since he's been in the pen.

 

[Jiggyman]

Let's not compare Newman with Watson, we've already given up on the cricket...

 

[NSLK]

Surely Hill comes in before Newman? Is he right?

 

[Masto]

We need to see if Newman is up to AFL so I wouldn't be surprised if he got a game - even if his recent form is probably not deserving.

In a derby for top two? Nah

Kane Lucas could be a Derby bolter for @WestCoastEagles - hearing he'll be named in the squad. Doubts around Selwood & his dodgy ankle

I thought it was Freo who were trying to lose this game

Johnson and Fyfe will be named for @freodockers - sounds like Weller dropped.
