Other Tasmanians included in squads include fellow North-West Coast product Brady Grey at the Dockers, while Devonport’s Ben Brown and Clarence’s Mitchell Hibberd have been included for North Melbourne ahead of their clash with Melbourne at Kingston’s Twin Ovals.
Clarence’s Josh Green has been picked for Essendon against RIchmond at Wangaratta, with the Tigers including Jack Riewoldt, also originally from Clarence, and George Town ruckman Toby Nankervis.
