Greater Western Sydney

The GIANTS have named a 26-man squad, that includes four players who have yet to make their debut in the orange and charcoal, for their Sunday afternoon clash with the Western Bulldogs at UNSW Canberra Oval.

Forward Zac Langdon has been confirmed as the GIANTS’ 84th debutant, but draftees Nick Shipley and Aiden Bonar, and former Collingwood defender Lachlan Keeffe could also make their GIANTS debuts, having been named on an extended interchange.

GIANTS 2017 leading goalkickers Jeremy Cameron, Toby Greene and Jonny Patton have all been named in the forward line, while reigning Kevin Sheedy Medallist Josh Kelly has been named in the forward line.

Running machine Tom Scully is a notable omission with Jeremy Finlayson, who made his AFL debut in round 15 last year, named in his place on the wing.

However, there is positive news with GIANTS coach Leon Cameron telling reporters on Thursday that Scully should be right to return in round two.

Note: After being named on an extended interchange bench on Thursday night, Western Sydney teenager Nick Shipley, top draft pick Aiden Bonar, former Collingwood big man Lachie Keeffe and Simpson are listed as the emergencies for Sunday.

Western Bulldogs

The Western Bulldogs have named four Club debutants in the squad for Sunday’s season opener against Greater Western Sydney at UNSW Oval in Canberra.

Aaron Naughton, the Bulldogs’ first round selection (pick 9) in the 2017 AFL National Draft, will become the 1001st Bulldog to play for the Club, joining Jackson Trengove and Hayden Crozier, who will pull on the red, white and blue officially for the first time.

Billy Gowers, selected with pick 9 from Footscray in the 2017 AFL Rookie Draft, has been named on the interchange and could also debut on Sunday.

I thought Bulldogs looked great in JLT against Collingwood in first quarter. Looked like they put the queue in the rack after that. Should be a good contest today.

What channel is this on Foxtel? 504 is Women's replay and Footy Play isn't airing a game until GEE/MEL?
