David Sierakowski (ankle) - 2 weeks
Travis Gaspar (hamstring) - 1 week
Daniel Kerr (ankle) - Test
David Wirrpunda (hamstring) - Test
Dean Cox (corked thigh) - Test
Troy Wilson (corked thigh) - Test
Phil Read (ankle) - Test


Well we have a lot of guys who have to prove their fitness and really only Gaspar and Siera are a few weeks from resuming.
Is expect to see Kerr, Ready, Cox all in the team and maybe Willow. BUT I think they'll give Wirra another week.
Whats with Cuzz, will he play or will he have the week off?

Thats the strangest thing...this morning he was on the list but this afternoon he was off. Most of those guys should be alright to play! We have some excellent players in the WAFL so it really doesnt matter to much!

Was Cousins injured last week or was it just very good tagging by Ling?

And Ling had a top game nullifying Cousins. This fellow seems to be able to do the job on Cousins quite well.

Gardiner missed training today because of the flu but is expected to play.

 

[cartman]

wirra i hope is ok we need him for this game plus we need a fit midfield no good if ben is injured and sits on the bench like the melb game

 

[Sera]

Wirra and Adkins both trained today so will be strong chances to line up this weekend. Kerr didn't train again while Cuz trained lightly.

 

[carlyp]

Our poor boys, whats happening! Their all sick and sore!

Good to know we have so much depth nowadays, under KJ losing guns like Kerr and Wirrpunda and having Cousins running on crutches would have meant a 100pt drubbing.

Not worried about the injuries at the moment, we still have the likes of Banfield, Braun, Morrison and Adkins playing in forward/back pockets, all capable of playing in the midfield.

 

[iceman]

The West says that Wirra and Kerr trained strongly and that Cousins/Gardiner will have a light session and will be fine next week

Would be great to have Kerr and Wirra back

On occasions, We managed that scoreline quite nicely even with Kerr, Wirrpunda and Cousins out there. During the Judge era, not having Cousins would have, well, what's the record VFL/AFL losing marging?

I think our club has been foxing a bit- definitely with Kerr- he's been a 'good chance' to play for 2 weeks.

The West today says that Kerr, Wirra, Cox and Adkins should all be fit for the Pies!!!

Read is only 50-50 with an ankle so should probably be rested. IF that's the case then I reckon

IN: Kerr, Wirrp,
OUT: Read, Munro

possible IN: Glass and/or Forward (Lynch/McDougall/Wilson)
possible OUT: ?? Adkins, ?? Braun

Difficult to drop Adkins or Brauny but we have a lot of in form players at the moment. Thats gotta be a good thing.

 

[eagleskickass]

Was very glad to see chipper doing well in the first half, howd he get concussion?

Hope he did enough to stay in the team

In Wirra Kerr for sure, dunno who should go out though:S

 

[iceman]

i like Munro, although he still needs to add a bit of bulk onto his frame, he's impressed me the times he has played up forward.... leave him in the side i reckon

IN: Wirra, Kerr, Glass, Wilson (if fit)

OUT: Adkins

The rest of the outs will probably be determined by matchups on the day

 

[jod23]

I think the club is foxing regarding Kerr. I doubt he will play. Wirrpunda you would think will line up though.

 

[noodle]

i just heard that reads out.

 

[carlyp]

I was expecting that! I heard his injury was preety bad (enough for him to miss some games)

 

[Sera]

If Read is out I would expect Wooden to come in...

 

[noodle]

there was a story in today's west talking about glass coming back in the side to conter collingwoods tall forwards while keeping Jako at CHF.

You don't think Wirrapunda or Kerr would be in before Wooden?

I never said that. If they are fit l would expect both to be in. We'll find out soon.
