Allmond is available after overcoming a heel injury, will he force his way back into the league side straight away or have a run in the ressies.

Zac Fitzgerald kicked 6 in the ressies last week so also has to come into consideration.

I think Allmond will play in the twos, what about Kane is he available for selection?

Would love Fitzgerald back in the side, but where? I like him as a fwd, we can't play 4 talls at once.
Do we look at Staple/Grocke moving down back?

I think we will see both Allmond & Kane in ressies this week.
Chris had 1 week suspension carried over from last year which he served last week.
Zac has a number of fans that would like to see him in league team. We would keep Stapes in the forward line and put Grockes at CHB.
Team selection tomorrow night will be interesting.

The concern I have is that as has been pointed out, West have not won at Woodville since 2003. That has to change some day.

Same as the fact that West have not kicked 100 points against us since Round 19 2003. The highest score since then is 87 points. And actually, West have only kicked 2 100 point scores against us since Round 9 1995 - Rd 19 2003 and Rd 13 2002.

Interesting to see Staple omitted, thought Day may have been under pressure to keep his spot. Staple could have moved down back.
Kane & Allmond if they play will be underdone. Wests midfield looks good esp with the pwr lads playing.
Too close to call, but at home so Eags by less than 10pts.

West are without Crouch which I believe is a huge out. Eagles in a close one to extend the streak @ Woodville to 9

Advertiser Tipsters:

Warren Partland - West 1-12
Reece Homfray - West 1-12
Jai Bednall - Eagles 1-12

Holy shyte. How bad was that today?

I don't think i've seen an Eagles Team since the merger with so many players that aren't up to league standard - it's going to be a long year i think.

Don't get to ahead of yourself yet, we've only played 2 h&a games so far this year.

Looking forward to wet weather. it might be our only hope

That was bad. Thou West were Very good and will be around the mark with Nwd.
I'm with MScott I think it's going to be a struggle for us this year.
I'm really concerned about our midfield , West cut us to pieces.
Think we will be fighting for the last spot in the 5 until the very end, just like last year. Hope I'm wrong.

that was crap
