IM EXCITED!!!!

I will be going to watch them play...should be a big turnout

Bulldog Scott West is looking forward to his return to the football field this weekend with both enthusiasm and trepidation.
West will play his first game since round six on Saturday in the Williamstown-Bendigo Bombers clash at Burbank Oval having overcome an ongoing knee problem.

“I’m really looking forward to getting back out there but at the same time I haven’t played at VFL level since 1993 so it will be quite strange to be out there in more of a local footy atmosphere,” he said today. “To think that my kids might be standing next to me at the quarter time or three quarter time huddle is quite funny.”

West is expected to line up for Williamstown and will be monitored throughout the game by Bulldogs fitness and medical staff to ensure he does not overdue things.

“I need to find a balance between getting some match fitness and not pushing myself too hard in the first game back. The Bulldogs fitness staff have had me on a training plan and I won’t diverting from that.”

Western Bulldogs Assistant Coach Leon Cameron agreed. "It's been a long road for him and all is on track for him to play which is great for him.”

"He's got to train tomorrow and make sure he's OK and ticks all the boxes and away he goes on Saturday."

This week is a busy week for the veteran Bulldogs player as his wife Leschelle gave birth today (12pm) to a baby boy – Levi Jackson West – weighing in at 8 pounds 4 ounces.

The Club would like to wish the West family all the very best. Levi is the couple’s fourth son and joins brothers Ryhlee, Kobi and Cooper.

-Also does not mention Shaun Higgins but i read in the paper he is also expected to play..

No offence to anyone on this board, but what is Westy thinking with the spelling of Ryhlee? Levi? Were these kids conceived in Moe?

No offence to anyone on this board, but why is the focus all on his kids and not the fact that he is finally playing a game of football? We've been waiting for this since round 6...not to know his kids name :|

We can't win a GF without Westy. Or it won't be as good at least if we did.

I spoke to him a month ago and told him I'd just had a child and named it Alexander, he told me the name of his children and I inquired about Levi, he told me and we didn't even discuss football or injuries.;)

I'm tipping a reasonable crowd at Willy today (and likely a fair media contigent too) Anyone going with wireless internet?

No? Too much to ask? Ok, not the most popular of ideas

If you can't tell, I'm very much looking forward to a report on today's output from West & Higgins ;)

The weather is terrible in Williamstown at the moment.
Heard Westy interviewed last week and its exactly how he wanted it.
Not sure if I'll head down there.
That ground is quite possibly the coldest place in Melbourne.
