Our squad against essendon

[Mead]

According to Afl.com.au, this is our team against don this weekend.

Chris Judd, Richard Taylor, Ben Cousins, Michael Braun, Greg Harding, Josh Wooden, Callum Chambers, Rowan Jones, Darren Glass ,David Sierakowski, Travis Gaspar, Ashley Sampi, Ashley Hansen, Kane Munro, Andrew Embley, Phil Matera, Kasey Green, Andrew Williams, David Haynes, Adam Hunter, Troy Wilson, Jeremy Humm Quinten Lynch, Trent Carroll, Brent Tuckey

Good to see a lot of the guys like Phil Matera, Siera and Embley getting a game.

THe notable omissions- Peter Matera and Wirrpunda, Kerr (don't want to risk an injury i guess), and Gardiner, Cox, Jako and Milli. I'd say that makes us about half strength or less.

Interesting to see Cousins named. I wouldn't have thought he'd need match practice??

But all in all, i can't wait till saturday afternoon. I'm most likely gonna go and see the match, I might have even entised a friend to come with me

How good is it to see Fido back.
Two weeks match practice should see him in just about perfect fitness for the Derby.
Oh Oh more headaches for Freo.

Hope Gas puts in a good one as well.

Its good to see players like Fido and Siera back, they'll be definite starters in our side this year and the match fitness they get out of the next two weeks is a huge bonus!!!

Im also hoping that players like Embley and Gaspar give a good showing of themselves, especially Embley as i reckon he could become an important half forward flanker for us if he becomes more consistent

Fletch and Merenda rested too.

Glad to see Fido back, and the hit out will be good for Embley and Gaspar. Just hope there is no jinx and Siera will be able to play out part of the game with no injuries.

Cuz hopefully will be over any niggling sores with his foot and run out the game for a touch of form.....

Any ideas on the Bombers line up?

Very strange for them to rest Matera, Milli, Jako, Gardy, Cox, Merenda, Fletch, Wirrpunda and Kerr...yet play Cousins? Maybe he is looking for a bit of form as i must admit he didnt play that well in the Wizard Cup.

if you are at the game and hear a bunch of early 20 something people screaming for the "T-Train", that will be me and my mates, come say hello and introduce yourself.

They are not WCE fans, but as I told them, you come for Troy, but stay for the Eagles.

There is 25 names there, is it a VERY extended bench or will there be omissions (say cousins and someone else)

Anyone know if there will be any coverage (tv, radio or internet) of the game at Optus? Also, what time does it start?
