Good to see Tommy Davidson in but no Dids or Presti....

So the players missing are.....

Shane Woewodin
Alan Didak
Bill Morrison
Tarkyn Lockyer
Luke Mullins
David King
Simon Prestigiacomo
Dane Swan
Brayden Shaw
Brent Hall
Julian Rowe

And the rookies.......



I would suggest that Woewodin, Didak and Prestigiacomo will be back for round 1, perhaps if Davidson goes ok he could get a game in the 1s for round 1 because of the lack of a Rocca factor. Maybe out of C.Cloke and him.

Hope Woey gets fit for round 1 though.

Didak and Presti are probably just being rested.


ps. I reckon the Williamstown practice match team in the week off could be the best ever side Willy has ever put out on the ground.

Balme on SEN this morning said Woey should play at Willi next week along with Didak and Presti. Both should be OK for round 1.

Presti is a vital cog in our machine but is susceptible to injury. Happy for him to simply turn up in Round 1. Last year after a five week injury he slipped back into top form pretty quickly so lack of match practice won't be too much of an issue.
