TOPIC:

Who comes in who drops out is the first question. WC on form will no doubt make a few changes I reckon Lewis Jetta will be recalled along with Hutchings and maybe a younger player. I think the Eagles need to find out a bit about the younger kids on their list.

Freo need to replace the injured Stephen Hill, a major blow he is in career best form. Also I think may need to promote Sam Collins to give a bit more height and muscle down back.

Thoughts?

I always liked Sam Butler when he came back to the Dees before the current alignment. But looking at the last half of the game on Sunday - I reckon his time may well be up on WestCoasts list.

Francis Watson looks a good young player to me....just needs to be given a chance but the coach is more interested in looking after his 35yo Vic mates!

Freo go into the Derby as the form team.Stephan Hill is a huge blow for Freo.That beautiful left foot kick.
The Eagles will be up for this game after another MCG shocker.Cant wait for this match.

Hill is a massive loss for the Dockers, may change a lot of peoples tips for this game.

Saw him interviewed yesterday and I would be very surprised if he played for the next few weeks let alone this week.

If that's the case our depth will be put to the test losing two gun midfielders. I looked at the Peel list after Ross promoted 6 players after the loss to Port Adelaide and there isn't much left except the repeat offenders that were dropped like Suban and Suttcliffe. Hopefully Harley Balic has recovered from his hip complaint.

With the so called injuries on both sides, it could be a game of last man stranding.

Could be others to go before him after last night but maybe not from West Coast.

Fyfe doesn't look interested this year, maybe he should just come out and declare he is going to the saints so he can get on with it.
