If we can get Lycett 100% fit and firing and same with Vardy i think our ruck situation will be fine for they year. Mitchell even said he never had a player like Nic Nat at the Hawks and ditto every other team. Let Nic Nat recover with no pressure to come back this year and if he comes back early and ready to go then so be it.

We need improvement in our younger mids and continued form of Priddis, Gaff, Shuey and Mitchell and we should be sweet for the year.
 
Sorry to intrude but it is really sad to read Nic Nat saying he may not play in 2017 as their is no denying he is a star of the comp. He is the type of player the AFL needs as he is a crowd puller.

It seems like media blowing it up bigger than what it is. I watched the news report and it seems like NN knows that there's a chance that he might not make it this season. Few weeks ago they said that he was ahead of schedule.

Yeah it's hard to know what to believe but just hope Nic Nat can be back in time.

Maybe for the Vic and QLD sides.

Eagles crowds won't suffer one iota by not having Naitanui playing.

Yeah I suppose you are right, I do wish most non Victorian sides the best except port and not a big fan of Fremantle either. Good luck in 2017

Yeah I'm not a fan of both. Freo for obvious reasons but used to have heaps of port mates when I lived in Adelaide and they're hypocrites.
 
Geez... Round 1 is going to be the strangest ruck battle in recent times.

No NN, Lycett and Giles for you guys and we have Goldy, Daw and Brown all injured or under a cloud.


Battle of Preuss/Durdin v Petrie/McGovern?

One for the ages.

Schofield should play against Melbourne

Duggan ready to join in full training and will probably play for East Perth next up

Lycett and Giles both ready to play in the next week or so

Venables expected to get some game time on the next couple of weeks - I'd suspect that'll be through EP reserves

Rioli and Tunbridge mending well but still a fair way from playing

No discussion on Naitanui who's been in Fiji

dare i say, this late injury might be a blessing in disguise for duggo. Simmo is a huge fan of him and stuck by him last year and i wouldn't have been surprised if he would have got a gig in round one. Now he has to really earn that spot via EP and i wouldn't be surprised if it takes him a few solid performances for the royals to earn a recall.
 
Looks like Duggan may start Rd 1 at East Perth
As will Lycett I think - if he gets through that game untroubled he'll be in the frame for the game against North
