Nic Naitanui, Adam Selwood to be ruled out of West Coast's clash against Essendon

WEST Coast ruckman Nic Naitanui is set to miss his second straight match with a hamstring strain.

The 22-year-old was a late withdrawal from the Eagles' line-up for last Sunday's home clash with North Melbourne and the club will take a cautious approach by leaving him in Perth for Saturday night's match against Essendon at Etihad Stadium.

Tagger Patrick McGinnity could still line up against the Bombers with the aid of painkilling injections, despite breaking his hand last Sunday.

They still have Scott Selwood

[nostradamus]

l have a feeling that Scotty Selwood might go back to last year's role as a midfield tagger just for Stanton

We can't lose now lol. Hoping bombers-eagles play in the grannie because my whole family are eagles supporters as are the whole public here, would love to shove it right up 'em.

Cox v Ryder is looking (to steal  one of Bruce's lines) delicious!!!!

Hopefully McGinnity and Selwood tag Stanton and Watson.

Cox as Captain is an option this week i think

[The_Captain]

[eagles929406]

mcginnity is not a midfield tagger anyway, we dont tag in the mids this year, we too busy with the ball in our hands, lets see stanton and co chase, something he dont know how to do

I highly doubt LeCras will be back at all. I can't think of any examples of a player doing an ACL in the pre season only to return later in the year. Any body else know of someone?
