00:00For the first time in a long time, West Coast is fielding something approaching its strongest
00:06side.
00:07Oscar Allen is back from a long-term injury, while Jaden Hunt returns from a toe issue.
00:12It means veteran Andrew Gaff is on the outer again, while young defender Harry Edwards
00:16and midfielder Jai Cully have also been dropped.
00:19Oscar Allen comes back in the side and he's our captain, so there's a squeeze.
00:23So hopefully we get Tim and Harley back next week and there'll be another conversation.
00:28So yeah, we haven't had this healthy list for a long time.
00:34The return of Allen means the Eagles have named four tall forwards, Simpson confident
00:38they won't be left wanting at ground level.
00:40If it's Darling, Allen and Waterman predominantly in your forward line, with a bit of Bailey,
00:47I think it can work, or you've got to have a look at it at the very least.
00:50As the Dockers look to bounce back from a disappointing loss to the Western Bulldogs.
00:54Still not sure what to put it down to, but we just move on and yeah, I know that this
01:00week I'll be going back and nailing as many as I can.
01:04Sunday's match will be the Dockers annual Lights and Sirens game, where the club pays
01:08tribute to Western Australia's emergency services.
