Would be surprised if we’re bringing Maric over just to not play him, especially after being pulled from the WAFL at half time last week.
Reckon we will see:
Champion in for Cripps (omitted)
Maric in for Brock (omitted)
J.Williams in for A.Reid (knee)
Brock the travelling emergency.
Will also need someone to take whichever one of Jackson/Cox isn’t in the ruck.
I reckon Young should take one of that duo which probably leaves Hough to take Voss. Only giving up 4cm and I reckon he’s capable of being shut down with a bit of defensive attention.

Final changes: Yeo, Murdock, Cripps in for Graham (shoulder), Robertson (knee) and Owies (omitted).
Assuming all players listed as a test get up this week, we'll have just 8 of our 49 listed players unavailable this week.
Leaves 41 players (including Miles-Wrency who surely can't be far off making his debut), 24 of which will be required for the derby (23 players + 1 emergency probably)...
That was a really gritty win from the boys in a game we probably didn’t have any right to win. Got dominated through the midfield and kept ourselves in it through our pressure and accurate goalkicking (+ West Perth’s inaccuracy).
When the margin got out to 35 points midway through the third...

Two out of Horsley's best three players being WAFL-listed isn't a great sign.
No real negative words for any of the AFL-listed players though.
