"Rookies aren't included on the official injury list" would be the response to that. Completely ignoring the fact tunbridge has been on the official list all year, of course.

I actually meant the ins and outs that Simmo apparently disclosed to Vishy this morning
Didn't know Vishy spoke to simmo
I'm like the least trustworthy poster in here and can't believe you bit my bait. TBH i went with it cause i thought you knew.

So Duggan to play Jetta's role presumably, which is somewhat understandable (although it's probably premature and I'd almost rather Jetta's 10 touches over Duggan's inevitable 10 touches).

But Butler in for Hutchings over Sheed? A bit strange tbh.
simmo was furious after that game that they planned for Martin but did not deliver. my suspicion (no evidence at all) is that the plan was for Hutchings to follow him forward.

he didnt
 
Good changes imo.

Butler in hopefully frees Wellingham up to provide more rebound and burst off half-back. Hutchings a bit unlucky but not a huge loss.

Jetta deserved to be dropped and Duggan now has a huge incentive to perform and take his spot.

Sheed is a bit stiff but didn't exactly do much at AFL level last time he played. It won't kill him to back it up in the WAFL (although with Darling hit and miss, every chance he comes in as an emergency anyway)

he hasnt had an AFL game with zero contested/tackles

sheed need to redeem himself
Redeem himself from what? A few quiet games in injury interrupted periods of a young career?

Sheed has produced more at AFL level than Duggan.
 
Sheed , Priddis , Redden , Mitchell offer similar qualities , Duggan is pretty versatile hopefully we are changing things up a bit with Wellingham and Nelson get some midfield time also .
 
Happy enough that Duggan is in, he needs the experience and in terms of player type he is the sort of player we need to bring in at the moment. Every game he plays is one step closer to him either realizing his potential or certifying that he is a crab. Win win.

Sheed I am surprised has not been picked but it suggests to be they were really unimpressed with his 11 possession game against the Saints. At the time I thought he might have been underdone but I feel like this sends the message that he was dropped on form.

Not sure about dropping a midfielder for a defender, but we probably have a better balance between inside and outside types now.

Sheed is terrible in traffic, panics and still hasn't learnt to free his arms - as another said too similiar to others alread in the middle, he's also painfully slow.

Great footskills, but needs to play an outside role to be effective at AFL level.
 
Sheed was excellent in traffic in 2015. Was getting very good at ripping the ball out of congestion too.

Hasn't seemed to find his mojo since his pec injury early last year unfortunately. Still young though, hopefully he smashes another strong game out for EP this weekend.

Sheed was fantastic in 2015, it's a shame that 2016 was a horror for him injury wise. I was looking forward to seeing him build on that year. If Mitchell wasn't recruited the likelihood is that he would be getting a game, this year he's going to have to earn his spot which is a positive in a sense. Couple more solid games and if the opportunity presents I expect him to take it. He's too good to be languishing in the WAFL.
