The West Coast Eagles have made four inclusions to the extended squad to take on Richmond on Sunday at the MCG.
Experienced midfielder Jack Graham returns to the lineup after being managed in last round’s Western Derby, the two-time Tigers premiership player shaping up against his old side for the first time this season.
After suffering a calf strain in the Eagles’ round 16 clash with Carlton, young tall Cooper Duff-Tytler also makes his return to the senior side after an inspiring four-goal performance in the WAFL last weekend.
Graham and Duff-Tytler will be joined in the extended squad by ruck Matt Flynn and young forward Tom Gross, both impressing for the WAFL Eagles in recent weeks to earn a recall.
Mid-season recruit Oliver Francou comes out of the team this week after suffering a nasty leg wound in Friday night’s loss to Fremantle, while co-captain Liam Baker will remain on the sidelines following his one-week suspension with calf tightness.
The Eagles will name their final 23-player team on Friday at 3pm AWST.
The match starts at 11:10am WST on Sunday and will be broadcast live on Channel 7 and 7plus in WA, and nationally on Fox Footy and Kayo.
