Gardiner Stenglein Seaby McDougall

From the Eagles website:

Michael Gardiner, Tyson Stenglein and Mark Seaby are right to return from injury, but Worsfold said it was up to match-ups to see who made it back, despite the team winning all three matches so far this season.

"At the moment, it's difficult to find a spot for one person, because the team's playing well," he said.

"But by the same token, if those three fit into our plans for this week and our best side for this week, then we would have no hesitation in making a few changes."


Woosha sounds pretty confident they'll all be fit. Doogs is officially available as well.

Is it conceivable that all four of these guys could play against the Dogs? That would give us some serious height to rotate through the forward line.

It would also see 4 very unlucky guys get dropped: Staker, Graham, Butler and Nicoksi perhaps? Should McDougall not be selected, one of Butler and Nicoski would stay put.

It appears that they rate Butler above Nicoski so I think Nicoski will be the one to get dropped for Stenglein. If one of Seaby or Gardiner come in then I think Graham will get dropped. If both come in then I think Lynch will get dropped too. Staker must be closed to getting dropped after a shocker against the Dockers but he provides another option in defense so I think his versatility keeps him in the team.

I expect them to give McDougall a few weeks in the WAFL.

You say Staker will play because he provides an option in defence.

You could say exactly the same thing about Lynch and Graham.

lynchy can only play on a certain type of forward. staker is alot more versatile.

Why, and how many?

I'm a big wrap for Buffy, but if he's versatile, I'd say it is because he's pretty much equally bad on anyone in a defensive role.

Lynch has slimmed down and looks pretty agile this year- I'd like to see him given a chance at CHB before we past judgment on him.
