WA coach draws on interstate experience
May 23, 2007
From West Australian

WA coach Ashley Prescott believes Daniel Bandy and Jarrad Schofield deserve the opportunity to play in Saturday’s clash with Victoria even though both have missed matches in the lead-up due to injury.
Schofield has not played for WAFL club Subiaco since April 28 because of an ankle complaint while hamstring soreness has forced Bandy to be overlooked for Claremont’s past two league matches.
However, both veterans were retained in the Black Swans’ 29-man squad announced yesterday and were considered strong chances of making the 23-man touring party that leaves Perth on Friday.
Prescott said the experience of 32-year-old Schofield and Bandy, 31, was invaluable to a WA team that would face a VFL combined side stacked with former AFL squad members and strong-bodied talent.
