Archer Reid: Young West Coast forward's season over as Harry Edwards faces fitness test
But fellow tall Archer Reid's season is over after he succumbed to a toe injury.
Edwards trained on Tuesday but looked sore and will be a focus at Thursday's training session.
West Coast is sweating on his availablity as it looks to Edwards, Rhett Bazzo or Sandy Brock to partner Reuben Ginbey for the assignment on Bulldogs' giants Aaron Naughton and 208cm Sam Darcy is a hard match-up .
Naughton is second in the Coleman Medal race, while Darcy is unstoppable when he is running hot, both in the air and at ground level.
Naughton has kicked 55 goals and Darcy 45 this season.
Edwards missed the narrow loss to Adelaide on Sunday.
'Harry presented with some foot soreness which kept him out of last week's match,' high performance manager Mat Inness said.
'We'll assess him closely through the week before making a call on his availability.'
Reid's debut campaign is over after he injured his toe in the first quarter against the Crows.
'He got through the game, however he has some tendon damage, which will rule him out of the final two games,' Inness said.
Reid, who was sighted in a moon boot at the club yesterday, was drafted in late 2023, but did not play a game last season.
After an impressive pre-season, he debuted in the Eagles' opener against Gold Coast and has played 14 games as a key forward and second ruck.

NRL clubs circle in-demand Gold Coast captain Tino Fa'asuamaleaui: ‘Better when he's on your side'
Bulldogs prop Max King isn't even trying to hide how badly he wants Gold Coast captain Tino Fa'asuamaleaui to join his team. Fa'asuamaleaui has a clause in his contract that allows him to speak to other clubs from November 1 for the 2027 season. And the Titans skipper — considered to be the game's best prop — will test the open market with big-money offers waiting from the Dogs and the Perth Bears circling. Titans chairman Dennis Watt has already said he is determined to keep the inspirational Test and Queensland star. But that might not be possible. 'Great teams go after great players and Tino fits that role, he would fit in great knowing him personally. He's a great fella and he's team first with everything,' King, who played with Fa'asuamaleaui at the Storm, said. 'He's a big boy, you know you are in for a physical day when you verse Tino. He's a hard man to handle. He's one that I have played with him and against and it's better when he's on your side.' It has been reported the Perth Bears have a $7.5 million, five-year deal on the table for Fa'asuamaleaui. And the Dragons are also interested, with another report that their offer is 'absolutely massive' and will make him 'the richest' player in St George Illawarra history. Speaking on SEN, incoming Bears coach Meninga said: 'I'd be silly if I didn't go and have a conversation with him. 'He's a leader already, plays long minutes and is charismatic around the club. 'I know Tino well. His preference would be to stay at the Titans but he's been pretty open with his commentary. The club has to prove to him the Titans have a future. 'There's no doubt if he became available, I wouldn't be the only person trying to talk to him. He's such a talent and young.' Bulldogs' Hayward switch could be best in 15 years No NRL premier has made such a big and late tactical change at hooker in 15 seasons but Canterbury players insist Bailey Hayward's promotion to No.9 can help the Bulldogs become even better. With five rounds before finals, Hayward started as an NRL rake for the first time in Canterbury's defeat of the Warriors and retains his spot for Friday's clash with the Sydney Roosters. It's left North Queensland-bound Reed Mahoney, starting dummy-half in a grand final three years ago, consigned to a bench spot as the third-placed Dogs eye a first premiership since 2004. 'Respectfully, there probably wasn't a spot for (Hayward) in the 17 at the start of the year and he's just forced his way into the team every week,' said Bulldogs prop Max King. 'Now he's forced himself inside that 13, in the No.9. It's a credit to himself and how he's going.' Hayward's breakout season notwithstanding, it is rare for premiership-winning teams to make such a dramatic shift in the crucial position so late in a campaign. The most recent example of a team tinkering with its starting hooker this late in a premiership run was in 2022, when Penrith's Mitch Kenny began to start ahead of Api Koroisau. But that change was nowhere near as seismic as the Hayward move, with Koroisau always swapped to the bench on game day and still playing the majority of each game at hooker. South Sydney memorably thrust Koroisau into starting hooker when Issac Luke was suspended for the 2014 grand final, while rookie Sam Verrills replaced the injured Jake Friend with seven regular-season games to play in 2019. But it's not since 2010 that a side has made as big a tactical move at hooker this late in the season and gone on to win the premiership. That year, St George Illawarra coach Wayne Bennett began deploying Dean Young at the expense of dual premiership-winner Luke Priddis, who only started again when stars were rested before finals. Coincidentally, Bennett began the tactical change with five games before finals - the exact same time of the season as Canterbury have begun starting the newly re-signed Hayward. But Hayward's teammates are confident the late change can take the Bulldogs to new heights. 'Bailey's biggest attribute is his communication and the way he works with teammates,' King said. 'He makes us all better. Everyone speaks about the greatest compliment you can get is (being) a player that players want to play with. He fits into that mould. 'He makes us a better team.' Canterbury retooled their attack ahead of their season's best performance, a 42-4 walloping of Manly three weeks ago, and Hayward has been tipped to continue their ascent in that area. '(Hayward at hooker) is obviously going to add that value to us in attack. We're obviously building on that each week but he'll bring a dimension to that as well,' said five-eighth Matt Burton. 'He's been great for us all year.' Mahoney played 16-and-a-half minutes from the bench on Saturday, only coming on once the result was sealed. '(The change) is not really a discredit to him, it's just more of a credit to Bailey and how he's been performing. It's a tough position for Reed but I feel like he's handled it really well,' King said.

Blues-Magpies rivalry set to heat up in AFLW opener
Carlton love nothing more than beating Collingwood, but can the Blues ensure the 2024 AFLW wooden spooners and their prized No.1 draft pick endure a painful start to 2025? The AFLW season kicks off on Thursday night with Carlton hosting Collingwood at Ikon Park and West Coast taking on Gold Coast in Perth. The Eagles' match was initially set to be played at Leederville's Sullivan Logistics Stadium, but the muddied field convinced the league to switch the game to West Coast's home base at Mineral Resources Park. Collingwood finished last in 2024 with a 1-10 record, while Carlton (4-7) also struggled on the way to a 14th-placed finish. The Blues did at least get bragging rights over Collingwood last year, and will be aiming to dish out another dose of pain on Thursday night. "We want to beat the Pies," Carlton coach Mathew Buck said. "You always like to beat Collingwood, there's no doubt about that - across the whole football club, men's and women's programs, whether it's VFL or AFL. "It was a nice close game last year, with a kick from Dayna Finn that put us back in front to ultimately win the game, so they've been close in the past and I think it might be close again." The Magpies are being tipped to be big improvers this season, and will unleash No.1 draft pick Ash Centra against the Blues. Centra, who dominated while playing at Vic Metro and the Gippsland Power, is tipped to be the next big thing. Father-daughter recruit Violet Patterson, the daughter of Stephen Patterson, and former Docker Airlie Runnalls will also run out for the Magpies. On the other side of the country, West Coast will be out to prove the doubters wrong in Daisy Pearce's second season at the helm. The Eagles won a club-record four games last season, but most pundits are still tipping them to finish near the bottom of the ladder. West Coast will hand a debut to No.7 draft pick Lucia Painter and No.57 pick Kayla Dalgleish, with the match marking the first time Bella Lewis and Charlie Thomas lead the side as co-captains. Suns coach Rhyce Shaw has named five debutants, including Gold Coast academy graduates Havana Harris, Nyalli Milne and Mia Salisbury. Harris was the No.2 pick at last year's AFLW national draft. Sydney, who fell to 15th last season, will be out to make a strong start when they host Richmond on Friday night. On Saturday, Geelong face a tough task against defending premiers North Melbourne at GMHBA Stadium, GWS face Essendon, and injury-hit Melbourne take on the Western Bulldogs. Sunday's action has Brisbane up against Hawthorn, St Kilda taking on powerhouse Adelaide, and Port Adelaide hosting Fremantle.

‘Encouraging stuff': Dogs finals boost
Western Bulldogs coach Luke Beveridge is confident injury-plagued star Adam Treloar won't 'compromise' his team's finals push, with a likely VFL return this week a possible precursor to a surprising AFL return. It comes as the Bulldogs confirmed Jordan Croft, son of former defender Matthew, would become the club's fifth debutant this season against West Coast on Sunday. The Bulldogs have to win their final two games against the Eagles and Fremantle to lock in a finals spot and a fit Treloar, an All-Australian in 2024, would enhance their chances. But the 32-year-old, who is out of contract at the end of the season, has been limited to just four games in 2025, his most recent in round 16, after a series of calf issues that impacted his pre-season. Beveridge said Treloar's progression through to full training in recent weeks had been 'encouraging', and while caution would be exercised, Treloar could yet be a presence in the finals should the Bulldogs make it. 'He's had a couple of good weeks, almost surprising weeks,' Beveridge said on Wednesday. 'Encouraging stuff, to the point where now we can consider him for some state league minutes. 'My philosophy around playing players who are underprepared is they can't compromise the team at any level. 'But we believe that he won't because he's done the necessary preparations. 'We just need to firm it up. It's still early in the week and we've got another session on Friday.' But while Treloar could return in the VFL this week, troubled forward Jamarra Ugle-Hagan won't. Beveridge said comments from Bulldogs assistant coach Brendon Lade last weekend that Ugle-Hagan had 'put himself back a couple more weeks' by missing more training sessions and would be 'lucky to get a game' in the VFL side were a lesson for the prospective senior coach. 'I think it was more about how well Footscray are going, rather than Jamarra's preparation,' Beveridge said. ''Ladey' will live and learn. 'That's the thing about taking lines like that in different contexts, it can come back to bite you. 'He's learned an early lesson if he's hopefully part of that market for a senior coaching job.' Beveridge said it 'remains to be seen' whether Ugle-Hagan would get back to his best. He has another year of his contract to run in 2026. Croft, taken at pick 15 in the 2023 draft, comes in after kicking three goals in the VFL against the ladder-leading Box Hill Hawks last Saturday. His father played 186 games for the Bulldogs as a key defender.
