With Fremantle playing the bye..err..Derby this weekend, Luke McPharlin has decided he may as well have a week off. In fact, Fremantle are travelling so well he can probably afford to have 5 or 6 weeks off. Coincidentally, he also has a busted leg that will take a similar amount of time to start working again. So he won’t be around to organise the game of cards in Fremantle’s back line this weekend. Alex Silvagni will come in to replace McPharlin with Sutcliffe, Neale and Taberner jumping onto the end of the extended interchange bench. The Eagles have announced that they are being devastated by injuries and will lose two potential All Australian players but, on the plus side, will bring in two absolute champions of the game to replace them. Translated for non_west Coast supporters that means two crabs out and two crabs in.
