In the light of St John we pray for deliverance from Rumour and Ignorance.
Under His Eye.
This is a do or die final. If Hurn and Hutchings are fit, then I say play them. Hutchings tagged Saad into oblivion last time we played, which is a key to winning. Of course, Hutchings needs to ha e actually passed a rigorous fitness test, if they think he's good but he hasn't been able to do the work yet, then he should def miss.
No need to be too clever here, repeat what we did 2 months ago and we get the win.

Bringing in Nic AND two guys off hammys is asking for trouble I reckon. Realistically we should be able to account for Essendon at home one or two down our best (I'm worried, but if we are any chance of a flag, we should beat a team with a % under 100 at home)
Given the matchup I'd almost go Hutch over the other two for this week.
Selection will be very interesting

Star duo primed for final after solid training run
West Coast coach Adam Simpson is confident both Shannon Hurn and Nic Naitanui will play in Thursday night’s elimination final after they got through training unscathed at Optus Stadium last night.

I think they also said the Mark Hutchings is going along well and could be named. So we have to put faith in the West coast brain trust on whether they will include him. If so, then Adam Saad will be in for one uncomfortable night

So if Nic was ready to go a few weeks ago, why the hell didn’t we play him against the Hawks, when we knew a win would secure top 4, and a loss would more than likely drop us to fifth?? That loss ruined our season and destroyed any chance of going back to back, he should’ve played to give us the best chance to finish top 4. Then he could’ve played the QF and had a week off with a win before another 2 games in a row. Now he has to play 4 in a row if we get that far. Mind boggling.

I'm pretty sure most people thought we would beat the Hawks at home, with or without NN.
They're just playing it safe with him.
We could've used at least 1 win in the last couple of weeks..."Simpson said Naitanui had probably been fit to play for the past couple of weeks, but was held over to see how he would recover."

I think if he’s been right to go for a few weeks we should’ve at least got 1 game into him before finals. Benefit of hindsight obviously as we were strong favourites to at least be top 4 with a double chance.. but bringing him back for a sudden death final has me all kinds of nervous. That being said, if we get to play all 4 games with no game day injuries including Nic, I think we can pull it off.

They're not going to pick him, Mitch.

Syndesmosis injuries are 6-8 weeks in general. This is week 7. There's no way Nic's been fit for several weeks, I think this is just a way to dispel any 'are you rushing him in underdone' talk with the doubts surrounding him, Hurn and Hutchy all for the same final.

What's more interesting is that hungrytiger was correct all along, NN was ready to go.

Ah, Simmo. The entirely trustworthy and infallible source now that it backs up your pretence of intel.
A few weeks ago it was this:
But now it's confirmation because of one line of editorial by a West Australian journo without any actual direct quote from Simpson.
Your sources are worth specifically zero mate. Nic Nat doesn't have bone bruising, he's not retiring to become an AFL Ambassador, he didn't 100% play against the Hawks and your mail man just got laid off. Cheers for the completely random tag, go Eagles

Thats straight from the horses mouth too. The Mail Man is lifetime indigenous mate who is related to Jetts.

I know it doesn't really matter but it annoys me how the club can stamp "indefinite" next to NN's name for 7 weeks and then change it to "test" in the space of a week.
Are there no directions from the league around content and reasonable accuracy of these injury lists?
