We're playing all the interchange players in the team. Rocket wants some flexibility just in case The Swans try and pull a stunt like last weeks.

Friday at 4pm is the official time isn't it?

[BulldogBelle]

According to news Scott West hasn't trained all week.

Luke Ablett is a very handy out.

Thats brilliant Twodogs, love the thought.
Just thought it was more than the usual amount mentioned when playing on a Sunday.

An underrated Ablett - as much as that seems incredible its true

I thought that it was 45 minutes before the start of the game.

I thought we were talking about the final list of 25. Of course things can change before the game but I think that around 4pm on a Friday the team lists are finalised.

Ablett & Davis out has to favour us, even if Nick isn't in form. He's still a dangerous player capable of winning a game of football and in times gone by, it's been these types of players for Sydney that have troubled us. Micky O being the main one, of course.

Everitt is a handy in for them, it means our rucks will have to be on their game. Perhaps it's an advantage we could gain as Everitt hasn't played an AFL game this season to date. Either way, it's a big task for Hudson & Minson.

As for our inclusions, I wouldn't think we'll see any changes. Hill deserves another game purely on the basis that Ray isn't fit enough yet. He's slowed down the last couple of weeks, but it's a chance to redeem himself and with his aerial ability, it might prove handy against The Swans. For mine, if we brought in Tiller or Skipper we'd lose too much of our run for little gain. Ward's done well thus far for Williamstown, but sending him over to the SCG is probably a bit much at this stage.

Oh sorry I misunderstood.

Thats not sounding good, no Scott West for this weekend is a scary thought.

[LostDoggy]

would anyone happen to know what is wrong with Scott West? This is the first I have heard of him being injured.
