Selection integrity is always a conversation or a talking point when you're trying to find the right balance in between keeping everyone accountable but also making sure veterans are there in the team to help when you've got a young list.

How long are these conversations when you make the decision as a coaching group and selection committee to leave Jamie Cripps out?

Mitch, we appreciate your time, mate.

Good luck today and for the back end of the year.

We'll talk again soon, mate.

Appreciate it.

Thanks, Duncan.

Backline coach of the West Coast Eagles.

Transitioned from player last year, of course, two-time premiership player and a star that he was into the role of the West Coast Eagles.

And we'll see them go about their thing today.

And it's a really interesting point, right, JJ?

We touched on it and we spoke a little bit about Essendon and the conversation around Richmond almost happens each and every week.

But he's been down the last couple of weeks, hasn't kicked a goal.

He led their goal kicking last year.

Cripps hasn't kicked a goal the last fortnight.

And in the end, you've got to balance it up.

And Andrew McWalter, who said during the week it was a really tough decision, but has decided to put him back to the waffle to try and find some of that spark.

Lenny Hayes will join us in the next hour.

Liam Pickering around 20 minutes away.

We are here at Marvel Stadium, or I am at Marvel Stadium.
