One for @fredockers fans: When he’s not dominating colts, NGA prospect Toby Whan is up at 6:30am baking bagels. The @SFFCBulldogs product on learning from star Dockers, motivation after missing a combine invite and how the bagel process unfolds 🥯 . @9NewsPerth @FootyonNine

A syndesmosis injury for @WestCoastEagles NGA prospect Koby Evans, ruling him out for the season. Escaped serious damage in WAFL incident, unclear if he’ll recover for national combine. Terrible luck after back injury ruled him out of national champs. @9NewsPerth @FootyonNine.

Setbacks for @freodockers depth ahead of likely do-or-die v @westernbulldogs. James Aish late out of today’s WAFL action with delayed concussion symptoms - has entered 12-day protocol. Will Brodie (hamstring) and Quinton Narkle (personal) also absent. @9NewsPerth @FootyonNine.

West Coast NGA prospect Wes Walley is firming for a WAFL senior debut for Subiaco. Has been training with the @WestCoastEagles, but Subiaco take precedence. @9NewsPerth @FootyonNine.

Andrew McQualter says he’s “really confident Harley will be here…I’m talking for a long time.” . Other @WestCoastEagles news: Harry Edwards (foot) still facing hurdles, Ryan Maric (corkie) hopeful and Tom McCarthy likely to stay in midfield. @9NewsPerth @FootyonNine.

Hayden Young is unlikely to be picked this week despite being a test, @freodockers coach Justin Longmuir says. Also strongly hints Nat Fyfe will again be used as sub in the @brisbanelions blockbuster: “I think he’s one of the best subs in the game.” . @9NewsPerth @FootyonNine.

Andrew McQualter says he might attempt to lure sacked @melbournefc coach Simon Goodwin to @WestCoastEagles. “If he’s willing to help, I’d ask the question.” . McQualter worked as an assistant to Goodwin last year. @9NewsPerth @FootyonNine.

Tom McCarthy has declared he wants to be a @WestCoastEagles leader. The mid-season recruit telling @9NewsPerth it’s a primary goal after a rapid rise from “playing with average park footballers.”. Plus he reveals how Patrick Cripps welcomed him to AFL action. @FootyonNine

Justin Longmuir insists he hasn’t yet decided how to deploy Nat Fyfe this week, saying “all options are on the table”. Hopeful again Alex Pearce (shin stress) will return, but concedes the skipper is starting to race the clock. @9NewsPerth @FootyonNine.

Hutchinson could be sidelined for the season - he’s been ruled out for 2-3 weeks. Harry Edwards (foot) a test to face @Adelaide_FC. Jacob Newton (wrist) also listed as a test as he fights for a contract extension. @9NewsPerth @FootyonNine.

More bad news for @WestCoastEagles: dropped midfielder Jack Hutchinson was pulled out of today’s WAFL clash at half-time with a hamstring concern. In a positive, it gave Malakai Champion (20 disposals) a chance to show glimpses in the midfield. @9NewsPerth @FootyonNine.

Encouraging WAFL debut today for Williams - 12 disposals, three tackles and a nice goal on the run. @9NewsPerth @FootyonNine.

On @CollingwoodFC coach Craig McRae admitting to Silvagni meeting: . “It’d unusual for a coach to announce something like that … it’s not something we would do.” . @9NewsPerth @FootyonNine.

Jack Silvagni might’ve played his last game for Carlton, with Michael Voss from Optus Stadium revealing he’s set to miss the rest of the season. The @CarltonFC coach also not happy with Craig McRae publicly detailing the Silvagni meeting. @FootyonNine @9NewsPerth.

Probably not the ideal surface for Nat Fyfe to return from injury on. @9NewsPerth @FootyonNine.

West Coast NGA prospect Tylah Williams already has a role at the club - working in the merchandise store. The talented half-forward tells @9NewsPerth how he’s making the most of having a foot in the door as he prepares for his @WestCoastEagles WAFL debut. @FootyonNine

Mid-season @WestCoastEagles recruit Jacob Newton has broken his wrist. It’s bad timing given he signed a six-month contract, so he’s ambitiously hoping to return to WAFL in just two weeks. @9NewsPerth @FootyonNine.

Seven WA draft prospects have been invited to test at the national combine. They are: Cody Curtin, Koby Evans, Jacob Farrow, Fred Rodriguez, Sam Swadling, Wes Walley and Tylah Williams. Selection is based on nomination by AFL clubs. @9NewsPerth @FootyonNine.

AC Milan’s Rafael Leão kicks balls with Cristiano Ronaldo on national duty, but tonight had a kick with @WestCoastEagles Elijah Hewett. momentum on @acmilan returning to WA for a landmark Serie A clash in February, ahead of friendly v @PerthGloryFC. @9NewsPerth @FootyonNine

Understand Adam Simpson is enjoying current commitments - at this stage unlikely to seek opportunities in Vic. However, his soft spot for @NMFCOfficial remains strong. Aside from coaching, sources say he’d be suited to senior footy department roles. @9NewsPerth @FootyonNine.
