TOPIC:

Assuming that Fraser is the only injury, the team should have only one change.
Reid in to play forward and pinch hit in the ruck.
Looking forward to seeing the team further gel.
I am excited about our midfield and improvement shown in clearances, ball movement and disposal.
Should be a good game given Swan's recruiting off season.

I cannot see anyone except Jordan Reid to come into the side for Fraser. No doubt he will also back up in the Ruck.
I would not use Jaiden Hunter as a back up ruckman. Leave him as the fast leading forward and let him develop into that role..

I agree Smokey Jaiden looks a very good prospect.
We've asked too much of young talls over the years.
We have some options now.

Hopefully Kasey Nicholas is ok, the West reported him as having a thumb injury. Agree with McInness out Hunter needs to play more forward but doesn’t hurt to have 3 rotating through there to give the opposition a different look depending who’s on the ball for them.

And the weather forecast is looking fine for Saturday when looking into the crystal ball.
Should be a pleasant evening across there in Lathlain for people attending.

For me it is Jordan Reid in for McInness, to play the same role in forward pocket and back-up ruck..
Nyika John in for Nicholas. Deserves an opportunity.
Mitchell Browne in for Masten.
Perhaps Regan Clarke starts on the wing for Smith. We need to cover missing Smith's pace.

Bird or Stubbs on half forward flank.
Maybe Hitchcock, Meloncelli, Brogan-Henry, Ugle will come into consideration.
I will abstain from the debate on the Ruck..DBW or Eyres ?

Hopefully at least one of the injured players will come up ok for the game.



 

Regardless who goes in.
We must win.
We must learn to take adversity in our stride.

Where have all these injuries to key players been reported? No injuries are listed on the clubs website.

I'm gonna go a little different:

Eyres to come in and Double team with DBW and replace Fraser (double team Gault). 
Quill to replace Masten (if he doesn't come up).
Jo Ugle to replace Smith (Clarke into the middle and Ugle going forward)
John to replace Nicholas. 

We also need to find someone to wear Jetta like a glove and hinder his run out of defence. 

If we we need to run with Jetta then Hendo may get the job.
Gault too mobile for both Eyres and DBW ???
