Just one forced change, with Francis coming in for McCartin, who's in concussion protocol, even though he's apparently fine. Mitchell, Ladhams and Campbell are the emergencies.

Again, my speculation on team selection has been inaccurate. I can live with this.
Francis in for McCartin (concussion) is a good choice.
Parker not being named is interesting. The only thing I can think of is avoiding the trip to Perth in a first game back.
"Unbelievable!" -- Nick Davis leaves his mark on the 2005 semi final
Last year we had a great win over Freo in Perth, came back to the SCG and that very next game Buddy, Parker and McInerney suffered soft tissue injuries. It might have been a coincidence, but I am suspicious of the hardness of the Optus Stadium ground. And then there's the long flight on top of things. So I can understand if they've decided it's not a great first match for Parker.
If he doesn't get selected next week, then we can start wondering if he has a place in the team. (Or wondering if the coaches think he has a place in the team.)
why do we play freo in perth again thizs year
Pumped for a live game in Perth.
Left field but I'm wondering...
When will the team fly home, tomorrow morn?
Thanks Mel_C.
