Aiming for a fitting Anzac performance

Bill MonaghanWanneroo Times

If sides are not on their game they will be vulnerable. It's critical we take our wins where we can.

We've shared a similar start to the season with Swans having both played some good and bad football to come away with two wins and two losses each.

The Swans line-up has pace and a blend of youth and experience so we expect a strong challenge.

Jordan Jones is an outside chance to return from a hamstring injury. If it was a Saturday game we would rule him out, but given it's a Monday, the extra days' recovery leave a slim opportunity for him.

If he doesn't play this week he's likely to return next round against Claremont. He showed promising signs at training on Tuesday night.

As far as selection for this week goes, we've had Corey Chalmers and Blake Wilhelm in good form for the reserves, while Ray Bartholomew and Marc Crisp are getting close to a league recall as well.

In a first for the senior side, we'll be attending the Joondalup dawn service on Anzac Day.

As we're not playing on Saturday, we've taken the opportunity to represent West Perth as we commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Gallipoli landings. I had a discussion with the leadership group and we decided it would be appropriate to pay our respects. The colts side will attend the Wanneroo service.

On Monday, we'll aim for a performance that respects the sacrifice our veterans have made for us.
