Posted May 14, 2004 - 18:20 PM
Perth have added six players to their squad who beat Subiaco by 10 points in Round 7 for their clash with West Perth at EFTel Oval on Sunday.
Damien Adkins will line-up for Perth in the forward pocket after being omitted from the Eagles, who lost to Melbourne last weekend, while Ben Matthews-Herrald has been recalled after kicking four goals for the reserves in their last match. Matthews Herrald has been named on the interchange bench.
Nigel Edwards has been named in the following division, whilst Brett Edwards, Daniel McGinlay and Damian McMahon have all been named amongst eight interchange players.
Defender Rob Rushton is out of the team having injured his ankle in the Demons match against Subiaco, while West Coast Eagles squad member Sam Butler has been named as an emergency for the Eagles for their match against the Sydney Swans on Saturday, but should take his place in the Demons line-up.
Eagle, Andrew McDougall is also out of the side that defeated the Lions.
West Perth, who also had a bye last weekend, has added four players to their squad.
Christian Kelly (who collected 37 possessions in the reserves match against East Perth two weeks ago), Dion Fleay and Tyson Lord have all been named amongst seven players on the interchange bench.
Adam Curley has been listed as an additional player in case required.
Mark Seaby, who has been named as an emergency for West Coast, could be a possible late inclusion if the Eagles do not require him. West Perth will also be waiting on Fremantle to finalise their squad with the Longmuir brothers, Troy and Justin, being named amongst six players on the Dockers interchange bench. Although it is likely that they will line-up for Fremantle against Hawthorn on Sunday.
