Round 17 - Lions Vs Eagles - Saturday 12th July - Gabba

[LF]

Eagles just to many outs for Lions.

5 confirmed outs for WCE

Rosa, Kennedy, Wellingham, Sheppard, Cripps

Fair point, think the outs for the Lions will hurt them more particularly with Rocky missing now aswell, weird because if Rocky was playing and being at the Gabba i would of given the Lions a big chance in this one. Rocky just breaks the back for me.

Will miss Rosa and JJK but the other 3 haven`t been playing well anyway and Cripps was only in last week because Nic Nat was a late out otherwise he wouldn`t have played last week either.
Also all 4 rucks have flown over so I guess one of them might replace JJK hopefully it`s Sinclair

Hoping to get to the game - but will be a hard task without our engine room.  Will be interesting to see who comes in whether we revert to Moloney or Raines or reacall ZOB.

Injuries could not come at a worse time and with Hanley now the likely one to be tagged will be hard to get over the Eagles but we have done it before.

Dean Cox travelled @WestCoastEagles to Brisbane but possibly only as ruck coach & may miss game. Find out @TenNewsPerth Super AFL Thursday.

WEST Coast defender Brad Sheppard has been ruled out of Saturday night's clash with the Brisbane Lions at the Gabba due to an ankle injury.

It was reported on Thursday that Sheppard did not fly to Brisbane with the team on Thursday afternoon but he was named in the 22 to take on the Lions.

He was expected to fly on Friday but did not recover in time to get on a plane.

He has been replaced in the side by young defender Blayne Wilson,

Adam Carter flew to Brisbane on Friday as an emergency
