Round 18 - West v Central Dist @ Richmond 2.10pm Sat 24 July

[Big Phil]

This week is a real danger game for the Dogs. Like it was said before we loss to Westies around this time last year.

If everyone is fit from the weekend there wont be to many changes to the Dogs line up. I think Sutherland will be back in the side for either Reichart or Schiller. The other change i would make is i would bring in Hynes for Gunston. Currently Gunston is struggling to win the ball and is offering nothing when he doesn,t get the ball.

Must admit i really liked Schillers game on the weekend he wins alot of hardball and is really efficient with his use. The only problem is we have alot of these type players so feel he may be dropped this week.

Chris Gowans' tribunal hearing is tonight at 6pm so he may get suspended and need replacing and i read in today's Advertiser that the Power are likely to drop Jay Nash.

if thats the case i would like to see sutherland in for gowans, nash in for reichart. i dont like to make to many changes to a winning side so i would give gunston one more crack

I think the injuries this season have been a blessing in disguise. They have allowed reserves players who would not have got a go so early to step up and show what they can do.

We now have one of the best playing lists in terms of depth that I can remember meaning that if we get inuries come September we will be able to cover them.

agree add to that alot of players should still be very 'fresh' come finals as well

Is Caleb Edmead still playing reserves

Is Caleb Edmead still playing reserves

Yeah mate, he played on the weekend I would suggest he'll be in the side again this week Thiele...

Had a cracking start to his reserves career then I reckon he hurt his hammy at training and hasn't returned to his best as yet...

Tyson Edwards is the special guest at West Adelaide home match Lunch

[redandblack]

West's form after a bye hasn't been good, but the team is improving nicely.

We also have a few reasonable players out with injury. We'll possibly also have Jason Porplyzia this week, but Harding and Davenport played for Port last week.

[Big Phil]

Possibly could be a few AFL players involved in this game through either being dropped by their AFL club or non-selection:

Porplyzia
Gray
J.Westhoff
Nash
Symes
Harding
Davenport

I reckon this will be a really close game regardless of the amount of AFL players participating. Looking forward to this game.

I reckon out of that list only Porplyzia is a certainty.

The rest would be 50/50 at best.

Great news for the Bloods with Logan hill returning after 2 and a half years out with a broken leg! Will return via the ressies! Hopefully he can have a bit of luck with his leg for the remainder of the year! Good luck mate

Agree. Hes a good kid and deserves a bit of luck and certainly can play the game.

[Big Phil]

Great to hear Logan Hill is on the comeback trail and will play this weekend, good luck to him indeed...

Speaking to Scott Turner last week, he is confident Logan's leg will be right to go and was really praising of Logan's character to keep plugging away despite all the setbacks.

Speaking of comebacks, don't be surprised to see one Matthew Slade named in the Dogs reserves side this weekend, after making his football comeback with Gawler Central in the BL&G competition last week upon returning from 6 months overseas.

Will be interesting to see if this does actually transpire and if so, how he goes?

Good luck to Logan i hope he has some luck he is a ripper bloke and it would be great if Wesites could get him back playing the footy he was before he broke his leg so badly.

Porplyzia NOT picked by the Crows so on the money there mate...

But Davenport, Harding and Nash dropped by the Power and unless held back as the emergency, possibly all 3 of them will play at Richmond on Saturday. A couple of handy INS for the Bloods for sure.

Brad Symes and Justin Westhoff named on their respective AFL clubs bench so they could yet be sent back to this game themselves. Will be interesting to see the final teams released tomorrow.
