AFL Watch: Tom Gross and Matt Owies push for senior selection in West Coast Eagles win over Subiaco

Harry Barnett: Had little impact against inexperienced rucks. Finished with a game-low seven touches and 16 hit outs. Rhett Bazzo: Solid in defence, taking some important intercept marks along with his 14 disposals. Campbell Chesser: A strong performance from the wingman with 24 disposals, five marks, four tackles and five inside 50s. Tom Cole: Read the play well and rebounded out of defence but needs to sharpen up skills to demand a senior re-call. Finished with 15 disposals at 66 per cent. Hamish Davis: Showed composure as he kicked the sealer but was otherwise quiet with just nine disposals. Lucca Grego: Continued his role in defence, racking up 17 disposals including 11 uncontested. Tom Gross: Pushed his case for an AFL re-call with a game-high 30 disposals, six tackles, nine marks seven inside 50s and five clearances. Only knock was some skill errors. Jayden Hunt: Played predominantly off the half back, providing run and carry through the middle. Made some errors which cost his side. Finished with 14 disposals. Callum Jamieson: Had the tough match-up on Jack Mayo and held the Subiaco forward goalless. Peeled off and had nine intercept possessions from his 13 disposals. Also took a mark of the year contender. Harvey Johnston: A relatively quiet day. Was crunched in a heavy collision and finished with 11 disposals. Coen Livingstone: Played well up forward and in the ruck to record a career-high 17 disposals and a game-high seven clearances. Noah Long: Played his best game in years. Kicked three goals on the back of outstanding defensive pressure. Jacob Newton: Got himself into damaging areas and finished his work for two goals and 14 disposals, including six clearances. Matt Owies: Got the Eagles off to a flying start with a brilliant first term. Kicked two of the first three goals and involved in the other. Finished with four goals and 11 disposals in first game back from injury. Jack Petruccelle: Worked hard for his 15 disposals, five inside 50s and one goal. Loch Rawlinson: Provided strong defence pressure but didn’t have a huge influence with ball in hand. Finished with 13 disposals and one behind. Archer Reid: Played a critical role in bringing the ball to ground as a tall target up forward. Finished with one goal of his own from 12 touches.
