The West Coast Eagles have added experience for Saturday night\u2019s clash against Richmond with Liam Ryan, Tim Kelly and Jack Petruccelle recalled to the line-up.<\/p>\n
Ryan has proven his fitness after missing last round\u2019s defeat to Port Adelaide due to soreness, while Kelly is back after a strong display for the WAFL Eagles last round.<\/p>\n
The veteran midfielder collected 27 disposals and kicked two goals against West Perth, and Petruccelle (24 disposals) also shone to earn a call up.<\/p>\n
Saturday night\u2019s battle will be Petruccelle\u2019s second AFL appearance for the season following the round two trip to the Gabba.<\/p>\n
Petruccelle and Ryan replace small forwards Noah Long and Malakai Champion (both omitted) in the team. \u00a0<\/p>\n
Exciting young midfielder Elijah Hewett has been managed.<\/p>\n
Champion, wingman Jayden Hunt and key defender Sandy Brock are the emergencies for the 6.10pm bouncedown at Optus Stadium.<\/p>\n
The Eagles will be hunting their second victory for the season against the similarly youthful Tigers, who edged West Coast in a two-point MCG thriller last time the teams met in round nine.<\/p>\n
Saturday night\u2019s clash will be broadcast live in WA on Channel 7 and 7-plus, and nationally on Fox Footy and Kayo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The West Coast Eagles’ team is locked in for Saturday night’s clash against Richmond at Optus Stadium By…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":676,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[43,44,83,41,39,42,40],"class_list":["post-675","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-text","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/675","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=675"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/675\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/676"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=675"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=675"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=675"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
