Ablett, Bird and White in for Melcho, Pyke and Thornton.

Smart money's on a late inclusion for Ablett.

[Donners]

Argh, another member of my SuperCoach team gone.

With those outs for West Coast, we'd better record a win.

I'm very pleased that Malceski has been dropped. A perfect example of a senior player needing a spell in the 2's.

I thought Priddis didn't make it on the plane? Is he hitch-hiking across?

I know we don't have that many alternatives, but would have liked to have seen other names than the Ablett/Barlow merry-go-round as the ins.

i think Nick Smith would have gotrten a run, but i think he is injured is that correct?

i think Nick Smith would have gotrten a run, but i think he is injured is that correct?

He got concussed in Canberra last week.

Cox and Cockie teaming in the first ruck. Someone's having a lend surely? Or is it another Eagles right @@@@ up??

I know we don't have that many alternatives, but would have liked to have seen other names than the Ablett/Barlow merry-go-round as the ins.

Laidlaw & DOK coming back from injury, Schmidt & Crouch injured, Smith concussed last week.

Brabazon looking a likely non-starter at senior level and O'Dwyer by all reports reverting back to not being able to hit a barn by hand or foot.

Only other alternative is to promote Gilchrist or ask Hanabery to come up from Melbourne to play a game.

There is literally no one else to fill the role Malceski would play so at this stage it's Barlow or Ablett if indeen Malceski is to be given time in the two to get some confidence.

The Eagles half forward and half back lines are particularly weak. Hopefully it will be a day out for Shaw and Mattner running out of the back line. Similarly O'Keefe and Moore have a real opportunity to nail a few goals. The Bevanator will probably get Le Cras. And will keep him and the sceptics quiet.

It's about time Malceski was sent to the 2's.

[shaun..]

If only RWO had this much power last season

[Bloody Hell]

The Eagles half forward and half back lines are particularly weak. Hopefully it will be a day out for Shaw and Mattner running out of the back line. Similarly O'Keefe and Moore have a real opportunity to nail a few goals. The Bevanator will probably get Le Cras. And will keep him and the sceptics quiet.

It will be interesting to see who starts on him.

I'll assume that LRT would take Lynch, LeCras has been their most dangerous forward this year - Bolton will start on him.

As you say with the weak HB line maybe it would be a good time to see Bevo as the defensive forward.
