Tunbridge started off as a 12-week injury, and that was about a month ago

Only 44 weeks left!

 

[DieSwans]

haha ill watch Ellis a bit closer next time, see how goes.

I just remember him turning the ball over a fair bit

 

[twce13]

I don't rate him, terrible decision making.
Bit soft as well.

Soft? Umm no.

 

[gsmiths_s]

Soft? Umm no.

Yeah X injured himself end of last year running back in flight to spoil in defense and then falling heavy on his shoulder after a collision. Nothing soft about that.

 

[Woobla Stainz]

It just shows how good the likes of Shuey, Gaff etc can be when they are organised and working hard, which is exactly what I was arguing.

Imagine adding an elite midfielder to that unit to take the tag and rack up 30 good possessions every week. Apart from Priddis, who has plenty of time left in the game, all your mids are young and developing. Add a genuine elite mid or two to that and all of a sudden you're a contender.

Yeo will be that elite mid year for us his tank and possession numbers will improve as the year goes on and Duggan looks one for the future. they were the mids i was alluding to.
i agree when these player step up it takes the pressure off Shuey and Gaff etc and they perform better.

How far away from playing in the firsts is Selwood do you guys think?

 

[Dugg]

Gaff was interviewed yesterday.

Long story short, 4 weeks for Darling is being cautious, and he reckons that Darling will playing sooner than that. Just depends on whether he plays at WAFL first, or comes straight back into the team.

Also mentions Ellis & Selwood. Sounds like they will all be back in the next month.

I want Darling, Scooter and Ellis to take their time and even play a few games of WAFL before they come back so they are a 100%. People hate on Scooter but a 100% fit Scooter is a very good player and is needed.

 

[DieSwans]

Looking forward to Darling being back.

You guys better be right about Ellis, coz i can't help but dread his inclusion hahah

Couldn't pick a better time.

I would let him join your mob in exchange for you 1st round draft pick this year But slas he is a FA at end of this year.

 

[Prem87]

Can't wait to have Darling back.

Will give us a better target at CHF - we lack a lot of structure going forward. His hard long leading will really suit our gamestyle.

Excited.

 

[Quinz]

I hope Darling has a slight setback in the next few weeks.

 

[The Falcon Strike]

I hope Darling has a slight setback in the next few weeks.

Maybe a 1 week setback?

 

[Nuke Fremantle]

Great.

Unfortunately, experienced wingman Matt Rosa suffered a setback in his return to senior football after missing two games with a hamstring.

He has re-injured the muscle and is still being assessed in terms of how long he is expected to be sidelined with the latest flare-up.

http://www.westcoasteagles.com.au/news/2015-05-14/hutchings-gets-nod

Feel for the guy. He's had more than his share of injuries in he last few years and he'd had a great start to the season including being one of the few who played well in our 2 losses.

 

[lewigie]

I'm thinking Rosa would be close to retirement.. continually injured, probably not in our future plans..

 

[Boohemian]

I don't think we've missed him with the likes of Duggan, Masten(!) and Sheed stepping up. That said though, he still offers value at AFL level, not ready for retirement just yet.
