They don't know if it's a strain or a cork yet

 

[Dugg]

I think everyone being critical of Hutchings should give him a chance...this was his first full game this year right?

He showed more today than Selwood has in the last month, so give him some time to work on his disposal. We all know that players like Masten and Priddis were given plenty of time to work on their disposal...

And ultimately, we don't really have any improvements in the reserves (Ala Lucas and Colledge), so there is no reason he shouldn't be getting a game.

 

[Masto]

No change. Just cycle around the sub to give different guys a rest.

 

[King LeBron]

Lucas was named in the best for East Perth today. 23 touches, 8 tackles and a goal. Wouldn't mind seeing him come in for Selwood or Hutchings

Yeo moves back to defence if Schofield misses imo.

Contrary to the coach's words I'm quietly confident Schofield will be okay; other reports seemed to be suggesting he was moving around okay afterwards. We'll wait and see...

I only watched the first half, but Hill was having an absolute mare. Hasn't done anything for a while now.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Out: Hill (needs a spell one way or the other)
In: Butler

B: Butler, Schofield, Sheppard
HB: Hurn, Barrass, Wellingham
C: Gaff, Priddis, Masten
HF: LeCras, Darling, Hutchings
F: Cripps, Kennedy, Sinclair
R: Naitanui, Shuey, Yeo
I: Sheed, Ellis, Selwood
S: Rosa
E: Colledge, Bennell, Lucas (travelling)

Bit of a shuffle with Butler coming into the backline and Rosa getting squeezed out. Hutch and Selwood would have to play forward more often than not and help provide the pressure that Cripps and Hill have provided for most of the season.

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

Hill is a really handy player and I don't think Newman can play the role as well as him. But Hill also looks pretty restricted with his shoulder right now. I'd rather give Newman a run for as long as it takes for Hill to get his body right, so that he can be freshened up for finals.

 

[The Falcon Strike]

If Schoey is injured or pulls up sore then the only option I see if Lycett in and Sinclair to play back...

Other than that I want Butler in for Rosa - his kicking will be an asset, whereas Rosa lobs his far too much

Didn't mind Hutch's game today. Some of these blokes are ok when they are the literally the 3rd string.

I could see them putting Yeo back, that's what they did for much of the fourth quarter today.

Luckily Gold Coast's talls are pretty crap and their service to their talls will be terrible out of the midfield, since our midfield is light years ahead of theirs in terms of class.

Dixon and Lynch are far from crap

GCs problem is they will be missing 6 or 7 of their best 8 midfielders

No side can cope with that

Was obviously winged by his injury; shouldn't have been out there.

Didn't realise that Dixon was playing. Thought he was out with the ankle injury he seems to suffer several times each year.

 

[MWPP]

Selwood did enough today to earn a full game
Out- Schofield (injured/rest) , Hill (injured /rest)
In- McIness , Newman
Rosa can be the sub

 

[Shmiddy15]

Is McInnes injured? Remember hearing he limped from the ground after kicking 4 in the wafl yesterday?

 

[eagles rule]

does anyone agree that wce should rest Naitanui and Kennedy to have them fresh for Hawks and then Freo .

Bring in Lycett and Lamb as replacements.

No.

Can't mess with form.
Naitanui's absence could lead to us dropping the game against Gold Coast.

 

[Avalor]

Barrass has to stay in to give him further exposure. We could need him come finals. I would rest Hill and replace him with Newman or Lamb.

No. The Suns did lay a 55 point hiding on North a few weeks ago. Leaving behind a couple of healthy players to "freshen up" just tells the guys who are travelling that your coaching staff doesn't take the opposition seriously. It's a prime way to have a big letdown on the field.

Just play it out until the last week. Maybe if the last match (Adelaide) doesn't matter then we can rest some players for that one.

Might not have a choice if Schoey doesn't get up. He would be our only KPD left.
