There's no rumours. It's official?

Would be great if Harry kicked a goal in the first few minutes of the game. The feeling for him and his team mates would be huge.

It’s good to hear that Harry has overcome whatever it was that was causing him issues.  I’m sure that he wouldn’t be playing if he wasn’t good to go … and he has a decent pre-season under his belt.

Having Harry back should make life a little easier for Charlie - who is playing as if he hasn’t had a pre-season 🙄
It's still the Gulf of Mexico, Don Old!

Well maybe we are going to see more changes than some of us expected, and others called for...
Carroll and Harry look like they're in.
I'd expect Durdin and Boyd to also be promoted.

So that looks like 4 for a start.
What's still up in the air will be the omissions.
Moir and White are probably the soft calls, but I'd expect there may be a 'shock to some' omission, just for a bit of standard setting.
Of course the more likely possibility is that we'll be sitting here tomorrow shaking our heads over some 'eye rolling ::) ' decision and asking "Why?"

Not confirmed in, just that he will fly over with the team.

Good he's the kind of bloke who can switch on and slash us up from stoppage.  Very damaging, but fortunately for us struggles to switch on these days.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

West Coast came early. Arrived over in Adelaide about Tuesday, so they could be up and about.

Make no mistake, they will see this as a very winnable game against a side travelling as poorly as them. Their coach will know a thing or two about how to knock us off having come from Richmond. I am not as confident as others about winning this game or others.

Take nothing for granted...
The worst thing that could happen would be that the players think they just have to turn up to win.
Pressure and intensity from the start to the finish will get the job done.

But lose this game and the place will implode.
I'd even be tempted to grab a pitchfork myself.

They have issues with players looking to leave the place
They have the worst attack and defence in the league and while we only just shade them in attack our defence is 150+ points better after 4 games.
I can't see how they kick a winning score against us.

But these games are set up for the upset.
It will be an 'interesting' week if things don't go our way.

We found a way to lose against Richmond, a 54-point turnaround!!!
This will be a message to Voss & co if we lose again.

If I were a Weagles supporter I would be looking forward to this one.
Reality always wins in the end.

Treat this with caution. I've seen it in three different places, but they might all be feeding off one another. I have a strong feeling that may be the case with one of the sources.

In: Harry, Carroll, Cottrell, Durdin

Out: Young, Cowan, Lord, Moir

Sub: Doc

We'll see how reliable it turns out to be.

Really? Are those selections "establishing standards"?
