What's worse is he could be the sub if not named in the 22. So we won't even be able to loop our back rookies.
Potential sub. Makes Wilmot E completely wasted if that's what happens.
Yep - really good point! I'm still going to run Wilmot E I think.

Worst case scenario is Wilmot scores well, stuck on the bench, won't know for making a Cowan vs Constable decision either.

But chances are would be in the 22 (seems unlikely) or not sub (I would lean Berry or Sexton sub over Constable I'd guess)

May pay to find out when GC play VFL this week.

The West Coast Eagles match committee has backed in the players who steered the club to victory last Sunday against GWS with all 23 players included for this week’s RAC Derby.

While the final line-up is still to be decided, the starting 18 all played in last Sunday’s 19-point triumph over the Giants while five of the eight players on an extended interchange bench were also a part of the victorious team.

Debutant Elijah Hewett, forward Samo Petrevksi-Seton, emerging midfielder Campbell Chesser and defenders Alex Witherden and Jamaine Jones have all been named on the expanded bench.

Coming into the squad are wingman Greg Clark, key defender Harry Edwards and young utility player Brady Hough.


Hough was BOG in the WAFL on the weekend, my guess is he will come in for Chesser who maybe the sub...

Looks like a classic Geelong "give the gun every chance to get up" play.

The worry is if he's back next week whether it turns Bowes into a total trap.
Bowes didn't even play full time in the half back line last week and that was without Stewart, basically did all his scoring in two quarters. Can't pick any of these Geelong midpricers with confidence.

Interested in what Crozier does tonight, even took kick ins last week and we know where he will play.
