Those expecting Yarran to be a surprise solution to our forward line, think again.
From AFL app:
Darcy Tucker: Looks to have transitioned seamlessly into the life of professional football. Lived with Garrick Ibbotson when he first arrived and has been a regular participant in main sessions.
Harley Balic: Was in rehab during the first part of pre-season coming off wrist surgery last year. Has been able to run but was held out of ball work prior to Christmas. Spent some time running alongside Nat Fyfe.
Sam Collins: Has settled in comfortably as a mature-age, readymade key defender. Has looked settled in the defensive drills and ball movement work at the main sessions. Could play straight away.
Shane Yarran: Has been in rehab trying to sort out a knee problem that he suffered in the WAFL Grand Final last year. Has hardly been sighted at main sessions and will continue to ease his way into his first year.
ROOKIES
Matthew Uebergang: The Queenslander has trained well since arriving in Perth. Has reportedly performed well in skills sessions and has good athleticism for his size.
Ryan Nyhuis: Has settled in nicely after living with one of the club's leaders, Lee Spurr, during his first couple of weeks. Has shown promise at training so far and will continue to develop. - Alex Malcolm
