"The West" nibbles

They report that BB is a strong chance to return and that Fletch is in full training and is 50/50. Gardy to be back next week and Milli a chance for Saturday but a risk due to lay off time.

Hmmmm thats great. We'll be a much better side once Fletch Mcintosh and Gardi are back in the side. We'll be almost unstoppable when Embley comes back!

Just hope the injury toll begins to subside when finals time come around.

I think we have learnt that with a few injuries, we are a team that can be easily knocked over without Gardy and Embley.

I'd be surprised if Fletcher was ready, and Milli's not worth the risk. I'd be inclined to leave Gardy for an extra week as well.

Lots of potential for re-injuries if we rush these guys back, and with finals imminent - I'd rather wait and risk missing a top 4 spot than have them injured during the finals.

All we have to do is somehow get through next week and we'll have all the injured guys ready and with an extra week under their belt!

There was vision of McIntosh training today and he looked very slow - I think Milli has one last bang at the AFL and the club will probably save him for the Rd 22 derby.

Sierakowski also went down at training today - first fears was that he did his ACL again, but it wasn't anything serious.

I still think he could be quite handy off the bench. Can certainly still be an option on that one lead full forward, but would be a great option as the forward himself to change things up.

Its worth remembering that Milli has always been a very laid back trainer. I don't think there has been many times in the last couple of years where he has looked anything other than slow at training- at this stage in his career, he's saving what he has left in his legs for the games. The way I see it, there are 2 games left where it'd be very nice to have him, v Neitz and Longmuir in the final two rounds
