Yes only two mentioned .

Also said that Ellis was held back from the Skills session and just walked laps .

Selwood was not on the track at the open session but Eagles coach Adam Simpson told seven news last night the midfielder had trained earlier in the day and remained a chance of lining up against Fremantle .

Cheers. It sounds like Ellis and Selwood are pretty doubtful. Hopefully they will be back next week.

We're going to get smashed. The NAB Cup game meant nothing.

Hoping we can dish up a decent effort.
 
From http://m.canberratimes.com.au/news/simpson-reissues-challenge-20150414-1mkn7v.html - Simmo's 6pr interview last night. Paraphrasing unless quoted.

- Pleased after quarter time. First quarter not good enough for this week.
- We were concerned at quarter time. First quarter was too much of a shootout.
- Tweaked a couple of things for Q2
- Ruckmen got on top eventually
- Judd was dominant so we had to do something. Missing a couple of soldiers who normally run-with - Rosa was prepped in the pre-season.
- Rosa has good discipline and focus, and has the tools to do a run-with. He did a good job.
- Not for me to talk about Carlton's tactical choices on the night.
- Good return on the stoppages v. Carlton, as opposed to the week before.
- Good quick ball movement which was pleasing
- "Quite excited" about the future of this group.
- Adversity in terms of injuries right now, but young blokes are stepping up to the challenge.
- Overall, attitude of the team is really good - glad to see rewards.
- This week will be testing.
- Nic was rested yesterday, just to give his body a break. He's a "delicate beast" (nice work Simmo)
- Freo are form team of the competition and proven big-game performers
- We need to be our absolute best
- I "don't buy" the flat track bullies claims
- Our challenge is to get it done against top 8 teams - this week is an opportunity to just that
- Selwood is touch and go. "Responded pretty well", but it's a delicate area (his foot) - "really cautious" approach
- Darling is running off his own programme still, but he's just about ready for skills - probably next week. Two or three weeks more of training and then we decide whether he enters via WAFL or straight in. No hiccups for two months.
- Derbies obviously have some bragging rights, and it's something we want to rectify

Freo's average height to increase a cm or two with ****nuckle out suspended
 
I don't care if Simmo "buys" the flat trackers notion or not. This group earned that tag, and until they earn a new one and also some respect along the way then it's what people are constantly going to refer to them as.
I don't think Simmo really cares, that's the thing.
 
Well, no Ellis or Selwood...

In: Lamb
Out: Tunbridge (injured)

Would like to see both Duggan and Lamb as starters but I guess they'll probably go for experience for a game like this and give one of them the vest.

Give Duggan the vest I think. If there are no injuries bring him on half way through the third.

From the Updated WCE injury list. Tunbridge is out for 12 weeks, Selwood for 4 to 6 weeks and Ellis is still 1 or 2 weeks away.
