Preview Changes Vs Dorkers Round 3

[Suma Magic]

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.

 

[Prem87]

Hutchings and Sinclair likely to return to the WAFL this week , (Nick Rynne The West ) .

Good improvement in playing stocks if they return successfully .

Hutchings is very underrated. Would have him in our 22 atm.

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

Hoping we can dish up a decent effort.

Yeah probably. Hopefully we can put up a good fight.

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

Are they the only two mentioned?

Hopefully Waterman, Powell, Butler, Ellis and Main are all available for selection (although Ellis and Butler may play for West Coast).

What about Maggie? Is he still even considered an Eagles player anymore? It's as if he's fallen off the face of the earth.

I've got no idea what his status is. He might have a bit longer to go.

Lucas was upgraded a while ago after being emergency in first two games

WCE kept that one quiet !

Nah they did a story on it before round 1.

 

[Smotie]

I don't know how to break it to you.... he's a footballer.

Only until he becomes a coach, then he is an expert.

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.

 

[Eaglemaniac]

And Emma Watson isn't currently dating me either. Crazy the lot of them amirite?

Just be thankful you're not dating Emma Watson mate, she is big on HeShe's..

 

[DickDunn]

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.

 

[Vin28]

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.

 

[new breed]

Selwood out for six weeks ....career in the balance possibly .

 

[Prem87]

Lol Selwood. Seriously, wrap him up for the year with Brown and Emac.

 

[Vin28]

Likely to see lucas debut this weekend?

 

[Suma Magic]

Hopefully they give Colledge a shot ahead of Lucas.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Lamb for Tunners, Bennell should get a reprieve until Xellis gets up. No other changes required until Waterman gets a couple more games, hopefully at the expense of Badger. Nobody else really banging down the door.
