I won't post what the rumours were at prospect last week.
But it's up to the coach

So this week's game is cocaptain Lukes 150 th game
Go luke go Eagles
Here is the article

It didn’t take Luke Thompson long to be immersed in the strong culture at Woodville-West Torrens.

Drafted by Adelaide FC from TAC Cup club Geelong Falcons at the end of 2009, the fresh-faced teenager vividly remembers being taken under the wing of fellow Eagle Jared Petrenko as soon as he was allocated Woodville-West Torrens in the SANFL mini draft.

And after receiving welcome messages from senior Eagles stars such as Justin Cicolella and Mark McKenzie, Thompson knew Oval Avenue would be his home away from home in South Australia.

Speaking on SANFL Radio, the 27-year-old said he was proud to reach his 150th Macca’s League match against Sturt on Saturday as he’s determined to repay coach Michael Godden and the Eagles during his time in Adelaide.



Now a co-captain of the club with fellow defender Pat Giuffreda, Thompson is eager to again experience the ultimate success after playing in the Eagles’ dramatic 2011 premiership.

A qualified electrician, the West End State team vice-captain has just joined his family’s insurance-broking business in the city.

I heard rumours as well but not very reliable.
Bomber is in a great position to reinvent himself and I think he can, A very reliable kick for goal. Its a bad time to get back in with Luko, Sinor and Pup coming back. Some talent in the B's knocking on the door. Rowe should replace Gus.

I was going through the list and looking at who may drop out. Gray must be under the pump, not necessarily form but team balance.

Team balance is one reason why Bomber wasn't selected against North or that's one rumour going around .
Not sure about your thinking on Gray but then again I didn't see Westbrook being dropped for the North game .

Woodville-West Torrens defender Joseph Sinor could play his first Macca’s League game of the season against Sturt on Saturday.

Last year’s Powerade Breakthrough Player has played two games in the Reserves after recovering from the broken leg he suffered in a trial match earlier this year.

Sinor is one of three inclusions to the Eagles’ 23-man squad, along with ruckman Marc Borholm and defender Jake Westbrook.

Midfielder Angus Poole will miss one match after accepting an early guilty plea for striking.

Premiership defender Luke Thompson will play his 150th Macca’s League match.

That was shocking .
I think no Poole no Eagles midfield
I think no Guff no Eagles backline
I think one recognised ruck man going against two ruck men
Doesn't work.
Eagles Forward line was shocking
Eagles backline kept gifting goals to Sturt
Rowe would've added pace
Bomber coukdve added extra help up forward
