West Perth to go flat out against Peel Thunder in WAFL

It's a final so we won't be taking any chances on them having a weakened side because of the Dockers' player management ahead of the AFL finals.

We want to win and we'll be going flat out.

I have a list of Peel's players and as press announcements trickle through, I cross off those who I don't expect to play.

For example, it was announced Aaron Sandilands would be rested so I could expect Zac Clarke or Jack Hannath to replace him.

Matthew Pavlich is another flagged for a rest so I could expect Matt Tabener not to be playing for the Thunder.

I won't know the official announcement until later today, of course.

We expect to have a healthy selection of players, besides Matt Guadagnin and Jordan Jones who had season-ending injuries.

Andrew Strijk (ankle), Chris Keunen (ankle) and Marcus Adams (head knock) were dealt minor injuries in our loss to Claremont, but will be OK this Sunday.

We've also got Shane Nelson, Kody Manning, Laine Rasmussen and Joe Morrow available after missing last week.

We've got to cut a list of about 26 players down to 22 so there will be some tough selection decisions.

We expect Peel's approach to be much the same regardless of their line-up.

There might be a few little changes " for example, they might include a couple of run-with roles " but after 20 games we'd be confident in being able to predict what Peel will do.

Ultimately, 90 per cent of what we discuss is about us. There's a small element of focus on the opposition, but mainly it's about what we do well.

We're confident our system holds up against any side in the competition.
