In 23 J Pullman, 38 K Russell, 29 J Solomon, 67 M Parker, 31 J Florenca,

Out 17 S Edwards, 14 Z Strom.

New: Matthew Parker (ex-Perth FC)

This will be a lively affair at Lathlain , Perth are a dangerous side with some excellent youth & a good midfield.
Couple of outs but this gives further opportunity to some lads including Matty Parker who has been named , that's great stuff

I am a little edgy with this encounter, the DEES at Lathlain are always a bit trickt for us....took us a little while to shake off the Gummies about ten days ago and we were coming off a ten day break on that occassion. The lads have not played a huge amount of football in the past 4 weeks.
Solomon should come in to replace Strom and depending on balance and match ups toss up between Russell and first gamer Parker(Ex Pth lad)

Is Edwards out due to injury , form or other?

Not the happiest of hunting grounds for us, so need to be on the watch here, although of late we mainly do OK, last time went up the surface was a shocker , is the new oval ready now? Strom a big out, what's Edwards story?

Really don't want a slow start up here, is there rain on the way?

Bazz... Strom's form has been poor for sometime, I keep hearing team balance but you still need to have an impact. Solomon will be a handy replacement.
Edwards, not named in the reserves? could be a personal reason...

Agree got to have a good start and be ruthless , bring the A game...

Don't worry all...

Definitely Dogs have this one easily by 4 or more goals.

We've played two game on the new surface Bazza but haven't had a home game for a month. Drove past the other day and the ground still looks in good nic.

Have to be pretty happy with those 4 points at a graveyard for us - did the job and ended up with over 20 in the bag
Might have kept Jones & Tropiano to their lowest counts for a while
Ladder now wide open 5th down anyone can make it to September so the next few weeks become even more important than they already were.
Zac Strom put in a blinder in the ressies & the other unluckies did well too

Bank that win ... Always a tough game at Latho...
The boys just went thru the gears when they needed to. Good spread of goalkickers, plenty of football by our mids.
How was the goal by Kelly, won the centre clearance three bounced and banged one from just inside fifty, he is getting better each week I see him.

The young reserves group had a massive 120 point win against the 2nd placed Dees,
Good to see Strom back in some touch , Parker was good again , Pearson , Florence, Collard all keep pushing for spots healthy to see.
Only downside was the one point loss by the Colts and it appears like Jarrod Parry might have done anoyhercACL ,fingers crossed it isn't.,.,,

PCL this time. Hams & S Verrier back next week. The latter will play resies.

I made a bloody pact with myself not to go near this business anymore but geez why does this game cough up unlucky blokes who only have to sneeze to do a knee?
Gotta feel for JP , he's done this caper the hard way
May be the lesser injury but he'll be out for a while you'd say
Shadows the win hope the boys dig deep for him now
