What is Williams injury?

Hamstring tightness - just precautionary leaving him out - still a chance for R1

What is Williams injury?

West Coast coach Adam Simpson said the Eagles still had questions to answer about their likely round one team, with an intraclub match next Friday to help determine who fills the second ruck spot.

Second-year tall Bailey Williams missed Saturday's clash with hamstring tightness but will have the opportunity to press his claims as Nic Naitanui's support.

Not sure what to make about his comments on Brander...

"I thought he had some really good and some moments that weren’t so good," the coach said.

"That’s a work in progress, he’s played three games of AFL footy.

"We really like some of the things he does so we’ll have to see how we go with selection in 10 days’ time, have a look who’s around and who’s back, review his game.

"But it’s been a step forward, pre-season has been a good one for him."

Yes my eyes are painted on  ;D

Caldwell missed the cut

Another one bites the dust

Good signs for Green though

Taranto and Ward out so you think there is 2 spots up for grabs Hately takes one and hopefully Green gets the other.

Meanwhile Ash is currently playing himself out of the team...

[Bones Bombers]

Two guys currently in my forward line are Crocker and Davis from Adelaide. They haven’t had any high SC scores but they looked to be playing their roles pretty well and I notice the Crows only played 22 Friday night. So they at least looked to have a spot in the team.

Nice Bones - those two slipped under the radar. Adelaide pretty much came out a few days ago and said they wanted Marsh 2 team to be as close to round 1 lineup as possible

Scores haven’t been exciting but we need to take what we can get at this point.
Haven’t seen them mentioned much if at all.
I keep trying to replace them but keep putting them back in.

Guys like Ben Crocker could take until the byes to earn 80k. Davis is a name I've heard come up a few times and I'd look at him as a possible F8.

Lock in Noble down back. Especially if Hill isn't available round 1

I put a line through them because I expect them to score poorly and I don't think they're good SC options. Again, just my opinion

He costs a little more, but Isaac Cumming looking like a real option too

Noble tick

[RaisyDaisy]

With 2 matches remaining here's where I'm at with the rookie situation.

These are the guys I am using to complete my side for now, both on field and bench

Note: I expect a few more to get named, but I won't consider them as I think they'll be poor scorers and bench cloggers so I have not listed them here

D: Noble, Ash, BZT*, Young, Starcevich (M), Brander (F), Williams (R), Watson, Kennerley*

M: Rowell, Anderson, Stephens*, Green, Pickett, Robertson, McInerney*, Sharp, Budarick (F)

R: Xerri*

F: Georgiades, Rankine, King, Mahoney* (M), Taylor*

* Playing today

Honestly, King and to an extent Georgiades probably shouldn't be on the list as I think they will be low scorers but as you can see it's dire in the fwd line so we will likely need to start some of them and I think their JS is solid, so they get named while the likes of Davis etc don't

Yep the list is getting smaller and a few today that probably have ?? about R1 even Ratten has said that King is in the mix for a debut.
