LB: Mitch has got some stress in the lower leg & it’s popped up, we’ll be conservative & make sure we can reintroduce him in the back end of the year.
LB: Tory will come to Perth with us and may be in the 22. Croz will miss, so will Wally. There may be one or two others.
LB: Dale Morris will be back with us soon after the bye. Trained on Tuesday, did most of the ball work. It’s really promising, we’ll definitely bring him back through Footscray then and get his match fitness up.
LB: It’s a huge challenge, best thing is we gave ourselves a good account of ourselves against Fremantle last time. We understand how strong WCE are & we’ll chip away at some of their vulnerabilities
Heartened to hear Lewy Young rated a mention too.

Couldn't get Gowers back in the side quick enough could you Bevo.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Thread Round 11, Vs West Coast Eagles
Im expecting us to be screwed, How can we draft a kid bring him straight in and not kill the moral of the team, Bevo and his left field idea's its really time to pack up and go.
Im sick of seeing glimpses and potential on the park, I want to see direction, commitment and unity. I am fearful you are driving a wedge between the playing group. They look unhappy, not interested and confused on what is expected.
I'm only looking from the outside granted, but I can assure you Bevo, I understand more about the list management, game plan and best 22 at Geelong, Collingwood and Richmond than I do about my own bloody side.
BB.
Looking forward - Naughton, Darcy and JUH. It will be the envy of everyone.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Thread Round 11, Vs West Coast Eagles
Ed has run out of chances and needs a decent spell in the twos.
Has Lewis Young had his papers stamped? Lachlan Young, Gardiner and Roberts have gotten games ahead of him in recent weeks.

I hope not - he's only one month older than Lachie Young

In today's presser Bevo saw fit to say Lewy Young's "going to be a very very good player for us".
That's two 'verys'.
At what stage we consider him fit for anything more than a cup of coffee with the big boys though remains to be seen.
As to the changes, it was well and truly time for Richards to go back and figure some things out.
Let's hope Billy's done the same otherwise Hurn's going to pull his pants down.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Thread Round 11, Vs West Coast Eagles
I think with Gardner into the forward line and Billy back he might find things a little easier and not have to play the sacrifice role. That said, Billy needs to get the brain freeze moments out of his game

At Lewey's age Moz had just packed up his Doutta gear and trying to establish himself as a senior Werribee player.
We tend to draft late birthday kids (e.g. Bailey Smith was only draft eligible by two weeks last year), sometime as a fan base that requires extra patience.
We're all pretty patient with Lachie Young, surely we can be a little patient for a legitimate KPP who is only one month older.

Can someone please tell me what this sacrificial role that Gowers plays? I must be missing something. I don't see him playing on anyone of note as he gets the number 6 defender each week.
