WEST COAST assistant coach Peter Sumich is confident about his side's chances against Essendon at Telstra Dome on Friday night despite the fact that premiership players Chad Fletcher and Michael Braun did not make the trip to Melbourne.
"We think they’re all winnable, I know a lot of people might think that’s a bit off the mark, but we thought we could beat Collingwood after a great game against Adelaide and we think we can beat Essendon," Sumich said before training at Junction Oval on Thursday.
Sumich said the club believed it was best to give Fletcher and Braun a rest this week, but was confident the duo would be right to play against Geelong at Subiaco Oval in round 13.
"Brauny’s got a sore knee and we had it really penciled in this game, he’s been fighting it for a number of weeks, we rested him and he’ll be back next week.
"Chad Fletcher had a [sore] back early in the year, but it came good and he’s just stiffened up a fair bit now and he was another one we thought [could do without] the plane trip and he’ll be right next week against Geelong.
"Fletcher’s form has been great and Braun’s, I think, over the last two weeks has picked right up, so body-wise if they were 100 percent to go they would be here, but their bodies are just a little bit off."
