OPPOSITION: Three in for West Coast

See who will line up for the Eagles against Freo

Nic Naitanui will return to the ruck for West Coast against Fremantle this Sunday

West Coast will get their first look at draftees Isiah Winder and Zane Trew in Sunday’s AAMI Community Series clash with Fremantle at Optus Stadium.

Dynamic and versatile Peel product Winder and crafty Swan Districts midfielder Trew have been impressive since hitting the training track late last year.

They are joined by superstar ruckman Nic Naitanui in the 26-man squad which is hoping for a better showing than last weekend’s 47-point scratch match defeat to Fremantle.

There is a youthful look to the side with 2020 debutants Harry Edwards and Xavier O’Neill set for more experience with the senior team.

Small forward recruit Zac Langdon has overcome what was a potentially nasty ankle injury suffered late in the practice match to take his spot, while ex-Lions defender Alex Witherden will also be back in action.

Skipper Luke Shuey, four-time All Australian backman Jeremy McGovern, full-back Tom Barrass and veteran Shannon Hurn are expected to play more minutes as part of their build towards round one.

Champion forward Josh Kennedy and star midfielder Tim Kelly are both set to be available for the season-opener.
