Preview Changes vs Hawks round 2

[Max zero]

Ellis out for 6 weeks with an Achilles issue.

Makes selection a lot easier

Well that was rather random. To be fair Ellis is exactly know as the sturdiest of players.

 

[Biggie]

Hopefully govs shoulder is fine

Given the surprising Ellis news I'm expecting a tweet any minute now - Gov out for 12 weeks

 

[nameless]

Not good news with the injury.

Although Ellis is borderline, such a length of time will again test our depth.

Hopefully McGovern is OK - I expect him to go off within 5 minutes and then be fine.

 

[DickDunn]

Unlucky for Ellis - gives Bennell a good chance to lock down his spot though.

Can't wait for Wellingham to come back.

Last year it was his left shoulder this week his right. Seeing as he lined up Martin with it later i suspect he is ok lol

Yes the hit on Martin was a pretty sure sign he's OK.
Or the drugs were working.

 

[Doughboy]

Can see Hutchings getting a game this week.

Played well at EP

 

[wce4premiership]

Sorry for ellis but I'd probably have dropped him anyway.

As for Duggo scrapping, he goes in to pull people off, he's not in there causing trouble. But different to Nelson, just being a leader at a young age.

 

[RookiePick]

I think it's hilarious that some of us think Hutch played well in the EP match and others of us think he was bog average at best.

Re: Ellis...he was firming as the one to make way for Jetta in my estimates - assuming Jetta is cherry, and I mean CHERRY, ripe

Agree re duggles was great to see a young player be the first to help a cuzzie out.

B Butler MacKenzie Schofield
HB Sheppard McGovern Hurn
C Jetta Priddis Gaff
HF Yeo Darling LeCras
F Hill Kennedy Cripps
FOL Naitanui Redden Shuey
I/C Lycett Duggan Nelson Bennell

Out: Ellis
Other Possible Ins: Masten Hutchings

List looks good - don't see any excuses personnel wise as to why we can't beat Hawthorn at the MCG. I'm not bothered which two of Nelson, Bennell, Masten, or Hutch play. There are pros and cons to each of them but all are fringe players (arguably Masten isn't but he is under done). Can see Masten and Hutchings being given another week at WAFL. Nelson and Bennell will just need to stay disciplined in their roles, that sometimes we didn't see against Brisbane, which I am confident they will do.

The addition of Jetta makes the wings a lot more balanced. NN, Redden, Shuey and Priddis in the center square is ideal.

Ellis drug ban

yeah they found some performance enhancing chemicals in his sun screen.

 

[SpaceClef]

[southcoast]

Ellis drug ban

I think I can categorically put a line through possible steroid use.

 

[Here2tellyouwhy]

Simple really. Ellis out for Jetta.

Bennell and Nelson played a good game. Duggan will only get better as he finds form.

 

[YEOLO]

Interesting to hear Simmo say that Masten will definitely play somewhere this week - I'd chuck him straight back in the seniors.

I'd rather he earn it through the WAFL tbh. When he came straight back in after injury last year, he was putrid. Should have been sub in the GF.

Lolz. The faces

Those 4 in the centre brings a smile to my face

 

[ConcreteWaters]

Can't wait to see Jetta flying down the wings, but who comes out after a 10 goal win?

Ellis (inj) 6 weeks

Ellis (inj) 6 weeks

WHAT!? This is the first I've heard of it.

 

[Dark Sharks]

Can't see why there would be any changes other than Jetta for Ellis.

If Hutchings is playing we'd have to be in a pretty ordinary place with our midfield, especially after recruiting more midfielders in the trade period.

Hutch was serviceable in the WAFL, eventually working his way into the game but by no means was he better than Cole or Barrass for East Perth.
