Sunday game, so make sure you check extended bench selections 5pm Friday. Lots of changes here, the ax has fallen for GWS. Whitfield as reported is out injured, reportedly an ankle likely more than 1 week. Foley is out injured for the few coaches that still have him. Rookie Cooper Hamilton didnt make the cut, with rookie Stein coming back into extended bench. Lots of new names, but only really look at them if they make the cut tomorrow.

As expected, Tom Mitchell is back from his rest. The name that gets me excited is Ned Long who is highly rated, see if he makes the cut. Connor Macdonald has officially been cut.

| OUTS | Josh Treacy (Omitted) | OUTS | Aiden Begg (Omitted),Callum L. Brown (Omitted),Finlay Macrae (Medi-Sub),Jack Madgen (Injured) |
Apparently Crisp was sick with the flu this week, but hes been named. Pendles is in, and Cox is in at the expense of Aiden Begg. Small concern for Darcy Cameron, but I think he’ll still be main ruck. Reef McInnes is back into extended bench list at least for those who have him spudding their bench (Like me).
