Are we a chance to see a sixth debutant in round 9?
AFL listed players who are not selected will contest the VFL match at the SCG from 4.45pm. Fans can watch the game on Kayo.
See below for who is a chance to be elevated to the senior side against Sydney.
Brayden Sier
Two solid VFL games in a row. Last played AFL in round 5, but Sier has to be close to another senior berth.
Will Kelly + Jack Madgen
With Roughead out with concussion, Kelly and Madgen would be considered the most suitable replacements. Kelly among the best performers in round 4 of the VFL.
Tom Wilson
A consistent performer at VFL level off half-back. Averaging 20.25 disposals and 5.75 marks. Possible replacement for Nathan Murphy?
Jay Rantall
One AFL game under his belt. Rantall battled through the midfield against Coburg, received a large gash to his eyebrow, but was cleared of any issues. A second opportunity wouldn't be a bad option.
Mason Cox
Returned from a hamstring issue and competed well in the ruck and up forward in the VFL against Coburg. Darcy Cameron is going very well, so the big American may have to wait for senior selection.
Finlay Macrae
31 disposals and 5 tackles in the 3-point win over Coburg. Worth another look at AFL level.
