We'll know early about the Eagles' intentions after they come back from a Bye as well,double in their case,with their WAFL Reserves.Windy Hille wrote: ↑Mon Jun 10, 2024 9:53 am Rest, recover, reload, and ram!
Need the bye. Fix some rattled in the engine and tune it up.
Need to finish the season off strongly. No more fade outs and fatigue ridden slop.
Is Parish ready in 2 weeks? Must consider. Setters went off with an injury? Hope it isn’t the same injury if so. Shiel good to go?
Some considerations for Eagles… Caddy, Davey, El Hawli .
Well, thet would cop a gob full with that effort against the Roos.grassy1 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 10, 2024 10:40 amWe'll know early about the Eagles' intentions after they come back from a Bye as well,double in their case,with their WAFL Reserves.Windy Hille wrote: ↑Mon Jun 10, 2024 9:53 am Rest, recover, reload, and ram!

They’d be up against it after the bye you’d think.
Is Brad Hardie ever content and baste? Seriously wonder about that boy.
No way Menzie will be dropped after his game on Sunday. Was in our best…nudder12 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 11, 2024 10:28 pm Potentially.... Duursma, Redman, Hobbs, Baldwin & Draper will all be available.
Baldwin will surely play VFL. Maybe Duursma too given how long he's been out. Same should apply to Draper but who knows??
I think Redman is straight back in. Hobbs probably VFL because he's not better than anyone already in the side.
Outs??
Setterfield? Sounds like he'll be OK with 2 weeks to recover and no-one pressuring his spot.
Tsatas. Gone I think, to make space for Redman with the positional/balance shuffling that will happen.
Jones? To make way for Caddy. Maybe, but I don't think Brad Scott likes to drop players unless they've been ordinary for several weeks.
At this stage I'd say Redman & Duursma IN.
Tsatas & Menzie OUT.
But we've still got another Injury Report next week to think about, and anything can happen.......
Menzie did OK, but he's not going to be picked in defence ahead of Redman or Duursma (our defensive wing).BenDoolan wrote: ↑Wed Jun 12, 2024 12:26 amNo way Menzie will be dropped after his game on Sunday.

He’d probably hang in there as a sub - considering his new found versatility.nudder12 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 12, 2024 1:26 amMenzie did OK, but he's not going to be picked in defence ahead of Redman or Duursma (our defensive wing).BenDoolan wrote: ↑Wed Jun 12, 2024 12:26 amNo way Menzie will be dropped after his game on Sunday.

And I don't like his chances of playing forward ahead of Gresham or Guelfi either.
So if he keeps his spot, who makes way???
Jones has been ordinary most of the year. Staggered how he is an automatic selection. 1 maybe 2 contested marks at most a game and the occasional goal. Would love to see Caddy get the go that Jones has been afforded so far.
EFC injury report wrote:Midfielder Will Setterfield was subbed out late in his return match after experiencing discomfort in the same knee he injured earlier in the season, however he pulled up reasonably well.
If his knee continues to settle over the course of the next week, Setterfield will be a chance to be available for the round 15 match against West Coast following the bye.
Oscar has a propensity to knock us around a bit. If I recall correctly, he lumped a stash of goals last year out west. Add to the soup - Waterman, we will have our hands full down back.
