Lycett in will please many, Darling as well

Also good that Rosa and EMac are obviously fit

Brennan playing as well.

 

[The Falcon Strike]

Might also add that we have picked 27 to their 24.

I daresay Freo will follow on from their strategy of having a 3 + 1 bench - though I believe they mixed that up at half tim.

Hopefully we do something similar.

 

[WCErevival]

Well so much for resting people. We have gone in fairly strong. Freo are quite strong too. Only really missing Barlow and Mundy.

Lets hope he gets to the game on time.

Will be nice to see how Lycett goes.

 

[PRANKSTER666]

No Koby Stevens again?

 

[The Falcon Strike]

Well so much for resting people. We have gone in fairly strong. Freo are quite strong too. Only really missing Barlow and Mundy.

Freo are missing more than us - though a number of those are long term injuries.

They are missing Broughton, McPharlin and Grover as well

In terms of resting - they are preliminary squads - we may drop 3 off that list.

No Koby Stevens again?

First thing I looked for

Huh?

Disappointed to see no Stevens, but it's a pretty strong side none the less.

 

[GO EAGLES]

First thing I looked for

I cant see Butler - maybe a long term injury ???

 

[The Falcon Strike]

There's obviously 2 names missing from that list accoring to this article

1 of them must be Brennan - so Stevens still a chance

http://www.westcoasteagles.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/7155/newsid/109100/default.aspx

Scott Lycett, Jacob Brennan and Jack Darling have all been included in the 29-man squad to tackle the Dockers at Fremantle Oval at 11am, joining No.4 selection Andrew Gaff who played in last week’s NAB Cup semi-final loss to Collingwood.

 

[Suma Magic]

Great to see Lycett in. Anyone know how he played last week beyond what is reported in this article?

Looking forward to hearing how Brennan goes as well.

Neates is the other.

 

[The Falcon Strike]

Neates is the other.

Good get

 

[new breed]

Edit

34. Jacob Brennan

Some pace of Half back , Kamakazze pace that is - all different directions at the same time !

Will become a popular player

 

[WCErevival]

Stevens must be injured, putting in a poor effort at training or being disciplined

 

[Lach72]

Freo are missing more than us - though a number of those are long term injuries.

They are missing Broughton, McPharlin and Grover as well

In terms of resting - they are preliminary squads - we may drop 3 off that list.

De Boer still out.

Broughton's played all games so he'd be resting.

Concerned about Mundy and McPharlin...Mundy 0 games and McPharlin's only played a half...

You guys have had a rough pre-season - do you think it's viable going into rd 1 with all of Hill, Mundy, McPharlin, Grover, Fyfe, Ballantyne, De Boer in the side?

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Stevens must be injured, putting in a poor effort at training or being disciplined

Apparently he was 90 seconds late to a gym session earlier in the week. Admittedly he got held up while rescuing a baby from a burning building on his way into Subi but the precedent has already been set, no excuses

 

[Parasite]

90 Seconds = 3 week ban though.

 

[WallySixx]

Is Sheppard injured or being rested?

 

[The Falcon Strike]

90 Seconds = 3 week ban though.

Existing good record and early plea brought in down to 1 week and some carryover points

 

[Lach72]

McPharlin maybe doubtful, but Grover has played a bit.
Fyfe looked great on the weekend.
Ballantyne looked very rusty last week, but he got to all the right spots.

De Boer can't be far away, as he's pounding the track hard.

Mundy is a real worry.
He's barely got out of first gear at the training sessions I was at.

Hill was amping the running up over the last week or two so he should be fine

 

[The Falcon Strike]

WC Missing from potential best 22 for Rd 1
Naitanui
Brown
Butler
Sheppard
Glass

Plus Kerr from best 22 for 2011

Freo Missing from potential best 22 for Rd 1

DeBoer
Broughton

Plus Ibbotson and Barlow from best 22 for 2011

Have excluded Hayden and Mora - as I don't think they'll play this year

Lach might be able to correct me - but that's reasonably similar in relative strength.

I guess I meant in entireity - taking 6 or 7 underdone blokes into rd 1 could be disaster.

Sack him
