Josh Edwards listed as TBC.
Hope he comes up.
How good is Schenslog going to be for us.
One of the recruits of the year IMHO.
With a full complement I have another good feeling about this game.

I’d be very surprised if Edwards gets up.

Simpson has done his hamstring so he’ll be out.

Simpson has been underdone all year. WAs bigger grounds need more running and fitness. I wonder if he thought it would be easier than it is. 

History tells us we will lose this by a long way. 

I was wrong last week - I won't be this week 

 

Looks like Mattew Jupp is out this week
Get HQ back in?

Disagree TFGAF, EF don't have a great record at Lathlain.

History is on your side, for sure, backing up strong wins with insipid performances has been a Demon tradition for yonks. I think this very point might have been addressed at training earlier in the week. Turning point moment? We'll find out Saturday. 

And totally agree about Simpson. If you're coming to this club fkn turn up for pre-season instead of what every ex-AFL recruit tries to do and dodge a preseason.

Have you seen our record at the Belgravia Shit Pit?

Not that we're ever likely to play there again mind you or against anyone (formerly) known as East Fremantle. 

Can't remember the last time we won at that shitty ground.

The obvious replacement for Simpson would be Cooley. I guess we'll find out whether he has walked or not. Even then, he may have to serve some penance unless he had a good reason for not playing reserves last week. Otherwise, we're looking at Wills, fitness pending, or guys that have yet to seize their chance at league level: Newick, Hill, Gray. Maybe Murray or Watson could be considered. Alternatively, with Edwards likely to miss, Q or Scoble could come in with Schlensog and Chaplin changing in the ruck.

Ted are Murray & Watson ready for a chance. 
I was impressed with Watson in the Colts last year, he seemed very good at reading the play and his left foot seemed pretty good.
