I wonder if Duggan is a chance to roll through the midfield.

He's going well in the backline, essentially replacing Sam Butler, but I'm not sure we get maximum value out of him in that role.

He’s finding form and consistency in the one role - leave him there

Then next pre-season train him through the midfield

Plus I love him b-lining the ball from the back half

Need a player (or players) with some speed to replace Shuey in midfield. I saw Rioli was in there a bit yesterday. Will he simply have more midfield time to cover for Shuey? I think it should be shared between him, Cole and Duggan
 
I don't think Sheed or Jetta will be fit this week, save them for Lolmond.

OUT: Shuey
IN: Best performed midfielder for EP today

Could be Wellingham or McGinnity :p
 
Take with a grain of salt. In the full post-match press conference, Simmo said of Shuey's injury: "Unfortunately we're going to miss him for a week or two." Perhaps just a strain if we're lucky.

EDIT: When pressed on it later in the video he backtracked and said "Oh I've got no idea..." :(
 
I thought I heard that Partingtons form hasn't been flash?
He’s been injured and returning this week. Had 33 touches, 8 marks and 2 goals in his last game.

He also averages 27 touches, 5 marks and 1.5 goals in the WAFL; so he probably deserves a midfield role when it opens up.

IMO only time Parto and Anus should be playing is when they come infor a midfielder.

Good to see, they will all know that there is a midfield spot up for grabs so they should go hard all day.

How great is competition for spots!
 
Both Ah Chee and Ainsworth play that semi inside role, this might be a whoever is in form in EP game decision.
 
Hope our good form continues so we get to square off in a top of the table clash with richmond. GWS looking like a shadow of themselves so good time to play em. Way to go Hutch looking like he belongs in the afl. Awesome coverage we have at the momemt for injuries. Team playing so well I had to post somewhere howd I go guys?

If you asked me at the start of the year that we lost Shuey, Sheed and Jetta and smashed Port around the ball by +42 in contested i would have laughed. Its great that we can bring in Ainsworth, Ah Chee ro Parto. Also Hutch was superb yesterday 27 touches 10 tackles, 7 clearances some game

Welcome mate, we are playing well, although I would not want any more injuries. The difference this year is everyone is doing their bit and we are not over reliant on one player or two. For example Josh Kennedy is part of the forward line and not the forward line. He does not have to kick 10 goals for us to win.

SPot on prob rotate Cole, Duggan and Rioli through even through in Pet the jet
 
I didn’t watch the game but Evsn
Though it looked like Parto had a better game than Ah Chee today some blokes are suited more to AFL level, which I think is AH chee. If one comes in this week I hope it’s him
 
I think hutch will come in and play an inside role like he did when shuey went down . Yeo , redden , hutch , gaff and rioli will do the centre bounce work so i think we should bring in partington and actually play him on a wing and not the hff like last year .
Our run and spread has been awsome this year and partington has been in form before and after his injury .

Don't think Parto (Even Anus) are genuine wingmen. Both are still ball winning mids and need to spend time in the guts. Rioli was good but i rekon he will spend less minutes in the guts than whoever comes in. Also you still need Rioli deep in the forward line as well as around HFF.

Parto is the closest like for like we have to boots as well.
