I know many won’t agree with dropping Wicks before Corey, as he was reasonably ok. However we need to play Corey as his ceiling is higher and I consider Wicks to be no more than VFL level- same with Clarke. Both are ok for depth but shouldn’t be regulars if we’re serious- neither would get into a top 4 side, so what are we trying to prove by selecting them?

There’s no way Horse will put the cue in the rack yet. So he’ll keep Wicks and drop one Warner for another.

I’m also quietly optimistic about Rampe.

The other big unknown is Darcy. If he gets up I don’t know how we’ll respond ruck-wise? Ladhams isn’t ready, Hickey seems past it.

My hope is (no Darcy)

Out: Warner, Melican
In: Warner, Lloyd

Injury Update: Sheldrick to miss remainder of season

so sad for Melican

i mean the guy has changed his running style to shuffling on take off.........cant take a trick

i equally feel for young Sheldrick who has weather so many injuries, knee, ankles etc

Konstanty the same

Sean Darcy out, thats a big plus.

**Blood Fever** · 18th July 2023, 07:01 PM

Agree. Hickey may not play now.

Where is the confirmation Darcy won't play? Earlier in the week he was a wait-and-see. I've looked in my normal spots but can't find any confirmation today that he's been ruled out.

Maybe something in the local WA media?
